;社会交往:来自陌生人的善意
During this past year, I’ve had three instances of car trouble. Each time these things happened, I was sick of the way most people hadn’t bothered to help. One of those times, I was on the side of the road for close to three hours with my big Jeep. I put signs in the windows, big signs that said NEED A JACK (千斤顶), and offered money. Nothing.

When I was about to say goodbye, the girl asked if I’d had lunch.
After they left, I got into my Jeep and opened the paper bag.; When I was about to say goodbye正要说自己, the girl asked 问if I‘d had lunch. I shook my head and said摇头说 no, wondering why she asked such a question — was she going to treat me to lunch or something? “Wait a minute,” said the girl, and then she went back to the truck.
