完型填空。阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
We often see hitchhikers（搭便车的人）, standing by the side of the road, thumb sticking out, waiting for a lift. But it is getting
21
nowadays. What killed hitchhiking?
22
is often mentioned as a reason. Movies about murderous hitchhikers and real-life crime
23
many drivers off picking up hitchhikers.
24
no single women picked me up on my journey to Manchester
25
reflects the safety fear
26
, strangely dressed man is seen as dangerous.
But the reason may be
27
complex hitchhiking happens where people don’t have cars and transport services are
28
. Plenty of people
29
hitchhike in Poland and Romania. Perhaps the rising level of car ownership in the UK means the few people lift hitchhiking are usually considered strange. Why can’t they
30
cars? Why can’t they take the coach or the train?
Three-quarters of the UK population have
31
a car; many of the
32
will be quite old. The potential hitchhiking population is therefore small.
33
my trip proves it’s still possible to hitchhike. The people who picked me up were very interesting lawyer, retired surgeon, tank commander, carpenter, man who live in an isolated farmhouse and a couple
34
in the mountains. My conclusion is that only really interesting people are mad enough to pick up fat blokes(家伙) in red, spotted scarves. Most just wanted to do someone a good turn; a few said they were so surprised to see a hitchhiker that they couldn’t help
35
.
The future of hitchhiking most
36
lies with car-sharing organized over the Internet, via sites such as hitchhikers. org. But for now, you can still stick your thumb out (actually, I didn’t do much of that,
37
just to hold up my destination sign) and people—wonderful, caring, sharing, unafraid people—will stop.
In the UK, with its cheap
38
and reasonable rail service, I don’t think I’ll make a habit of it. But having enjoyed it so much, I’m ready now to do a big trip
39
Europe and beyond. In the 1970s a female friend of my wife’s hitchhiked to India. How wonderful it would be to have another go,
40
Afghanistan might be a challenge. I wish I’d got that tank commander’s mobile number.
