38、hin ese Stude nts Receive Trai ning at Arctic Stati on D My mind seems always to return to the day when I met Carl. The city bus stopped at a corner to pick up the daily commuters (some one who travels regularly to and from work), a group in which I was in cluded. Board ing the bus, I looked for a p

39、lace to sit. At last, I found a place to sit n ear the back. The occupant of the seat next to the one I was going for was an older man in a grey suit, well-worn dress shoes, and a black hat like I always pictured reporters wearing, but without the little press card. Seated myself, I bega n to read t

40、he book I had bee n carry ing, which was Jack Kerouac On the Road . The man in the seat next to me introduced himself by asking if I had read any other book like the one I was holdi ng. When I told him I had, he seemed to become in terested, and so did I. He introduced himself as Carl and asked if I

41、 liked jazz, and I told him that I didn t i it, and that I liked rock and roll. Wait ing for Carl to tell me that I should liste n to real music, I was shocked when he just smiled and nodded. He said, “ You remind me of myself when I was your age. I remember how my parents hated jazz, how they could

42、n t see how I could listen to that awful noise. I bet your parents say the same thin g, don t they? ” Now it was my turn to smile, amused with how right he was. As the bus ferried us from one side of the city to the other, Carl and I talked about a lot of differe nt thin gs. The more we talked, the

43、more amazed I became at how much the two of us really had in com mon, despite the age differe nee. I have n t see n him since we parted, but the thought of our connection that day rarely leaves my mind. Carl really made me think about how much we can learn from each other if we just break through th

44、e blocks between us we ve got. I mean, I would have never thought before that day that I could have anything in com mon with some one so much older tha n I, just because of age. But Carl taught me that no matter what, we are all just people, and that we should make an extra effort to try and get to

45、know our n eighbors and people we see every day, regardless of age, race, religi on, sex, or anything else. If we all take the time to attempt to understand each other, I think that the world would be a much better place that we could share together, as huma ns. 56. From the first paragraph we know
