14、a family,living in house might be the answer.Goodlandladies-those who are superb cooks and launderers,are figures as popular in fiction as the bad ones who terrorize their guest and overcharge them at the slightest opportunity.The truth is probably somewhere between the two extremes.If you are lucky
15、,the food will be adequate, some of your laundry may be done for you and you will have a reasonable amount of comfort and chompanionship .For the less fortune ,house rules may restrict the freedom to invite friends to vistit,and shared cooking and bathroom facilities can be frustrating and row-provo

20、master work “The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy” on the radio and thought-I know,Ill pick up the next hitchhikers I see and ask them wahat the state of real hitching is today in Britain. (2)I drove and drove on main roads and side roads for the next few days and never saw a single one. (3)When I wa
21、s in my teens and 20s ,hitchhiking was a main form of long-distance transport.The kindness or curiosity of strangers took me all over Europe,North America,Asiaand southern Africa,Some of the lift-givers became friends ,many provided hospitality on the road. (4)Not only did you find out much more abo
22、ut a country than when traveling by train or plane ,but there was that lelement of excitement about where you would finish up that night.Hitchhiking featured importantly in Western culture.It has books and songs about it .So what has happened to it? (5)A few years ago ,I was asked the same question
23、about hitching in a column of a newspaper.Hundreds of people from all over the world responded with their view on the state of hitchhiking . (6)Rural Ireland was recommended as f friendly place for hitching,as was Quebec,Canada-“if you dont mind being criticized for not speaking French”. (7)But whil
24、e hitchhiking was clearly still alive and well in some places ,the general feeling was that throughtout much of the west it was doomed. (8)With so much news about crime in the media,people assumed that anyone on the open road without the money for even a bus ticket must present a danger.But do we ne
25、ed to be so wary both to hitch and to give a lift? (9)In Poland in the 1960s,according to a Polish woman who e-mail me ,the authorities introduced the Hitchhikers Booklet.The booklet contained coupons for drivers,so each time a driver picked somebody ,he or she received a coupon.At the end of the se
26、ason,drivers who had picked up the most hikers were rewarded with various prizes.Everyone was hitchhiking then”. (10)Surely this is a good idea for society.Hitchhiking would increase respect by breaking down barriers between strangers.It would help fight global warming by cutting down on fuel consum
27、ption as hitchhikers would be using existing fuels.It would also improveeducational standards by delivering instant lessons in geography ,history,politics and sociology. (11)A century before Douglas Adams wrote his “Hitchhikers Guide”,another adventure story writer,Robert Louis Stevenson, gave us th
