A. Choose the best answer(根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案): ( 12分)

In the United States, crime worries a lot of people. Every year, the number of crimes goes up. And many criminals are young. Most of them --- 85 percent are boys. They often come from sad homes, with only one parent or no parents at all. There are problems with alcohol(烈酒) and drugs(毒品). There are many young criminals in prison. But prison doesn’t change them --- 60 to 70 percent will go back to crime when they come out of prison.

One man, Bob Burton, thought of a new idea that travel could help to solve one of the country’s worst problems--- crime. 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 Burton started “Vision Quest”(寻梦).

The young people on “Vision Quest” all have bad problems. Most of them have already spent time in prison. This is their last chance. Mr Burton takes young criminals on a long journey with horses and wagons(马车) 3,000 miles through seven states. They are on the road for more than a year. It’s hard work on the road. The day starts before the sun comes up. The boys and girls learn to care for themselves. They also have to feed their horses. Some of them have never loved anyone before. But they can love their horses. That love can help them to a new life.

Not all young people on “Vision Quest” will leave crime behind them. 30 or 40 percent will one day be in prison again. But that’s a lot better than 60 or 70 percent. Bob Burton is right. Travel can be good for one. Even today, Americans still say, “Go west, young men.”

In 1955, Ray Kroc visited a small restaurant in California(加利弗尼亚). The restaurant was built next to the road, so customers could drive up to the restaurant and drive away easily. The restaurant was owned and operated by the MacDonald brothers, Dick and ‘Mac’.

The McDonald brothers had developed a new idea for their restaurant. The brothers called their idea a “drive-in” restaurant, and customers could order food from their cars.

The restaurant also cut down on the number of choices on the menu, so the cooks could make the food very quickly. The restaurant was good at making hamburgers, French fries, and chocolate shakes.

Ray Kroc recognized the potential(潜力) of the McDonald brothers’ restaurant, and he offered to buy the rights to the two brothers’ idea. Mr. Kroc wanted to open his own restaurants, and he wanted to use the idea of a drive-in restaurant. He also wanted to use the brothers’ family name. The two brothers agreed, and the McDonald’s restaurant chain was born.
