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.”
1.In the last paragraph,the underlined phrase “leave crime behind them” means “".
A.no longer do a crime
