I stopped at the next village, which consisted of a small store and a few houses. People came over to look.“Thats easy to fix, ” a man said. He sent a boy running for some green bananas. He patted me on the shoulder, assuring me that everything would work out. “Green bananas, ” he smiled. Everyone agreed.We chatted casually while all the time I was wondering what they could possibly do to my radiator with their green bananas. I did not ask them, though, as that would show my ignorance, so I talked about the beauty of the land that lay before our eyes. Huge rock formations, like Sugarloaf Mountain in Rio de Janeiro, rose up all around us. “Do you see that tall one right over there?” asked the man, pointing to a particularly tall, slender pinnacle(尖端)of dark rock. “That rock marks the center of the world.”I looked to see if he was teasing me, but his face was serious. He, in turn, inspected me carefully, as if to make sure I grasped the significance of his statement. The occasion called for some show of recognition on my part. “The center of the world?”I repeated, trying to show interest. He nodded. “The absolute center. Everyone around here knows it.”At that moment the boy returned with an armful of green bananas. The man cut one in half and pressed the cut end against the radiator jacket. The banana melted into a glue against the hot metal, stopping the leaks instantly. I was so astonished at this that I must have looked rather foolish and everyone laughed. They then refilled my radiator and gave me extra bananas to take along. An hour later, after using the green banana once more, my radiator and I reached our destination.It took me a little longer to fully grasp the importance of the rock which the villagers believed marked the center of the world. I had at first doubted their claim, as I knew for a fact that the center was located somewhere else in New England. After all, my grandfather had come from there. But gradually I realized the village people had a very reasonable belief and I agreed with them. We all tend to regard as the center that special place where we are known, where we know others, where things mean much to us, and where we ourselves have both identity and meaning: family, school, town and local region could all be our center of the world.The lesson which gradually dawned on me was actually very simple. Every place has special meanings for the people in it, and in a certain sense every place represents the center of the world. The world has numerous such centers, and no one student or traveler can experience all of them. But once a conscious breakthrough to a second center is made, a lifelong perspective and collection can begin.The cultures of the world are full of unexpected green bananas with special value and meaning. They have been there for ages, ripening slowly, perhaps waiting patiently for people to come along to encounter them. In fact, a green banana is waiting for all of us if we would leave our own centers of the world in order to experience other places. 语篇解读：作者通过他的一段经历提出了一个问题, 即如何看待异域文化和文化差异。理解本文的关键是把握“青香蕉”在文章中含义的变化。1The author stopped at a village on his way because he wanted to _Ahave his car repairedBenjoy the beautiful sceneryClook for some bananas to fix his radiatorDtalk to some villagers to learn about their way of life解析：选A。细节理解题。根据第一段可知作者在途中停下来的原因是想找人修理漏水的水箱。2Whats the authors reaction to the mans remarks on the center of the earth?AHe thought the man was serious about what he said.BHe thought that the man was telling the truth.

He expects the trip to take about a year, and hell be going alone.“It will add to the sense of adventure！” Perry says. “By far my biggest fear is failure, but I regard that as a motivation(动力).

On this trip, Ive set myself a goal of raising at least 2, 500 for Help for Heroes, which is a charity for servicemen and servicewomen who have been wounded in Britains current conflicts.
