When I was in my teens(十几岁) and 20s, hitchhiking was a main form of long-distance transport. The kindness or curiosity of strangers【51】 me all over Europe, North America, Asia and southern Africa. Some of the lift-givers became friends, many provided hospitality【52】 the road.

At the end of the season,【62】 who had picked up the most hikers were rewarded with various prizes. Everybody was hitchhiking then. "
Surely this is a good idea for society. Hitchhiking would increase respect by breaking down【63】 between strangers. It would help fight【64】 warming by cutting down on fuel consumption as hitchhikers would be using existing fuels. It would also improve educational standards by delivering instant【65】 in geography, history, politics and sociology.
