21、BEST OF THE WORLD

23、In the summer of 2019, Tomas Quinones was undertaking a seven-day “bikepacking” trip, covering some remote desert in Southern Oregon, US. His trip had been marked with the usual minor troubles. But there had also been those moments of unexpected kindness from strangers.
On the last day of his trip, he was riding down a dusty track when he came upon a man lying unconscious on the desert floor. Quinones tried to give him some water with little success. Luckily, he called the emergency rescue team and an ambulance arrived within an hour. “I never had a doubt about what I would do,” he said. Quinones, who’d received some gestures of help over the course of his trip, paid it forward.
The odds are, if you’ve spent any time in the wild, you’ll have experienced these gestures of kindness from strangers or given them yourself too even if they were nothing so dramatic as the aid given by Quinones.
So what is it about being outside in nature that makes people want to help others? The first explanation is that in the wild, there may not be any other help. According to the “bystander effect”, the more people who are in the presence of someone needing help, the less likely any of those people are to actually provide it.
But another idea is that there is something about nature itself that seems to promote “prosocial” attitudes. As a recent study suggests, exposure to nature can promote feelings of transcendence-a sense of connection to other people, to the world around us and to the universe.
When we take adventure into the wild, we are easy to get hurt. And that makes us look at the world differently. So, in the wild, where we lose our normal possessions, surroundings and identities, we seem more willing to go the extra mile for someone. It’s in nature that we can learn new things about humanity.
【1】What can we know about Tomas Quinones’ trip in 2019?
A.He passed on the kindness he’d received.
B.He was saved by a fellow traveler.
C.He got tost for some time in the desert
D.He came across unexpected dangers.
【2】Why does the author write about Tomas Quinones’ story?
A.To suggest the unstoppable power of nature.
B.To highlight the risks of traveling alone.
C.To introduce a common phenomenon.
D.To question connections between people.
【3】What might happen if many people were present when somebody needed help, according to the “bystander effect”?
A.They might offer help immediately.
B.They might be unwilling to help.
C.They might encourage others to help.
D.They might blame the person in need.
【4】Why are we more likely to help strangers when in the wild, according to the text?
A.Exposure to nature boosts our confidence.
B.We are more clear-headed in natural environments.
C.Fear promotes our desire for connection with nature.
D.Feeling small in the wild makes us tend to act big.
