Mr. Clinton and his 13-year-old son Tony are basketball fans.Last October 10th was Tony’s birthday, so Mr. Clinton decided to drive him to New York, for the first game of the World Series.They had no ticket but hoped to buy a pair from scalpers.
It was a two hours’ ride.After they arrived, they walked in the street for two hours, carrying a sign(牌子) that read, “ We need two tickets.” There were many scalpers around, but the cheapest ticket was $200.They were about to leave when suddenly a man stopped them.He took out two tickets and handed them to Mr. Clinton.
“How much do you want?”
“Just a present,” said the man.“Enjoy the game.”
Mar Clinton wouldn’t accept, so the man explained, “I’m Jackson.Hans is my boss.He and his wife haven’t missed a World Series in 18 years.But he is ill and can’t watch the game this time.So he told me to give the two tickets to people who I thought would actually enjoy the game.A lot of people looked as if they might just take the tickets and sell them.Then I saw you and I followed you for a while.You seemed very disappointed.You made me think of my dad and me when I was a child.I dreamed of going to a World Series game with my father.But my dream never came true.”
How do you suppose this made Mr. Clinton and his son feel? Here is what Mr. Clinton said: “This is the most wonderful thing that ever happened to us.My boy and I must have turned to each other over 30 times and said, ‘I can’t believe this.’ We still never forget Jackson and Hans.”

Mistrust Mars Zhengzhou Ride-share Effort
More than 300 private car owners from a central Chinese city volunteered to offer free rides to citizens to ease crowded public transportation, but many local people didn't accept the offer for fear of being cheated.
The ride-share program was begun in October in Zhengzhou, capital of Henan Province, when Ye Zhantong, a private car driver, started to gather volunteers to offer the free service. The drivers tied a green silk ribbon (丝带) on the car to differentiate themselves from unlicensed taxi drivers. But the free rides haven't been popular among the public as increasing reports of dishonesty have dried up many local citizens' trust towards strangers.
Ye said some of the volunteers have dropped out after they felt their kind intention was being questioned. Passersby walking in heavy rainfall or passengers who missed a bus would remain silent and walk away when the volunteers would stop and offer a ride.
“It's so common that people give us the cold shoulder, and sometimes, take our kindness as ill will,” said one of Ye's volunteers, identified as Binge. “Many would even say: 'Let's get out of here quickly to avoid being cheated by him.'” Some commenters on Weibo explained why they hesitated to participate in a ride-share program. “Trusting a stranger might bring huge risks. I can't take the risk,” one Internet user wrote.
Some said Ye's group wasn't authorized, and cheaters pretending to be kind drivers might volunteer. They suggested traffic authorities issue rules to regulate, protect and promote ride-share programs.

62. Some of the ride-share car drivers _____ .

63. The free rides haven't been popular among the public because _____.
