Americans think that travel is good for you. Some even think it can help with one of the country’s worst problems—crime(犯罪)．Crime worries a lot of people. Every year，the number of crimes is up and up. And many criminals are young. They often come from sad families，with only one parent or no parents at all.

There are many young criminals in prison. But prison doesn’t change them. Six or seven in ten will go back to crime when they come out of prison.

One man，Bob Burton，thought of a new idea. In the old days，young men had to live a difficult life on the road. They learned to be strong and brave，and to help their friends in time of danger. This helped them to grow into men. So Bob started “Vision Quest”．

He takes young criminals on a long，long journey with horses and wagons (马车),3,000 miles through seven states. They are on the road for more than a year.

The young people on Vision Quest all have had problems. Most of them have already spent time in prison. This is their last chance.

It’s hard work on the road. The day starts before the sun comes up. The boys and girls have to feed the horses. Some of them have never loved anyone before. But they can’t love their horses enough. They also begin to love their partners. That love can help them to live a new life.

Not all the young people on Vision Quest will leave crime behind them. Three or four in ten will one day be in prison again. Bob Burton is right. Travel can be good for you. Even today, Americans still say, “Go west，young man.”

36．In the last paragraph “leave crime behind them” means ________.

A．no longer do a crime B．leave people who do a crime

C．do all the crimes D．leave criminals behind

37．Why is Bob Burton right?

A．Because he can help crime.

B．Because three or four is better than six or seven.

C．Because the young criminals have a hard life on the road.

D．Because he can stop crime in the country.

38．From the passage we may infer that ________.

A．getting up before the sun rises can help people out of crime

B．love can help young people to start a new life

C．traveling can help all criminals out of prison

D．being strong and brave can do with crime

39．On “Vision Quest”________．

A．young people have solved bad problems B．young people grow tall very fast

C．young people begin to love others. D．young people can do anything freely

40．Americans still say，“Go west，young man.” because ________.

A．if they go west they can have a travel

B．in the west there is a prison

C．there they have to live a hard life to grow into men
