C. American’s hospitality D. Americans’ and Chinese’s views of friendships
B
A while ago, when I was a young 25-year-old, I travelled across the United States on a journey to make a film.
During this trip, I ended up in Seattle where I met Laddie McCrea. Laddie was a hobo(流浪汉). He was about 60-70 years old. Laddie had shoulder length white hair covered with dirty things from the previous night’s bedding. His clothes were worn out and gave off a smell of alcohol and rubbish.
When I first met Laddie, he was standing on a busy downtown Seattle sidewalk. He greeted every passer-by with a smile, a pleasant greeting and an extended palm(伸出的手掌). Each day, people were rushing past Laddie---either unaware of his existence or avoiding him---a smelly, begging hobo.
I found Laddie to be an excellent character for my movie, so I paid him to allow me to stand in the background and film him. I spent three days hidden among the crowd, filming Laddie. Most of the time he didn’t know my existence. Each day he stood in a busy section of town greeting the world with a smile and an extended palm---just earning enough change for the evening’s night cap(夜酒).
One special day, as I watched from a bench off in the distance, a young girl, around 6 or 7, with a pretty dress and her hair in a ponytail, approached Laddie from behind and pulled on his shirt. Laddie turned to the girl, who then reached up and handed him something. At that, Laddie showed his happiness and reached in his pocket, gave her something and the girl ran back to her parents excitedly showing them what she had received.
