　　Early Native American groups lived in different cultural areas. Their environments had         resources. Each group made particular products or developed certain skills, besed on their own       As they perfected their skills,      exciting began to happen. For the first time in their history, they had more things than they

　　They wouldn’t let their products go to       , of course. When Native American groups began to communicate with each other, they began to     things they wanted or needed. The      they traded goods and services without using any form of money was called bartering. Thanks to bartering, people began to enjoy a better       of life. To barter with others meant that work became much       . No one group had to work as hard to make or find everything they needed for survival.

　　Native American groups would often travel long distances for the chance to       with each other. In between trading times, they would       or collect extra products. They kept them especially for the purpose of bartering with other native groups at their trade meetings.

　　Another            of trading between cultural areas was that people could enjoy products that were   to make with the resources in their own      . For example, people from the Desert Southwest area      tools made from whalebone(鲸须). There was no whalebone available in the     . However they could get it from the natives living in the Pacific Northwest area.

　　Some people      use bartering today to get things the need. You might      to do the dishes for your brother if he will take you to the movies. Especially in hard economic       people return to this      way of getting things they need.

　　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.
