The truck started on the second <br />try, and he backed out, shifted gears, and moved slowly down the alley under hazy <br />sun. Through the streets of Bellingham he went, heading south on Washington 11, <br />running along the coast of Puget Sound for a few miles, then following the highway <br />as it swung east a little before meeting U.S Route 20. <br />Turning into the sun, he began the long, winding drive through the Cascades. <br />He liked this country and felt unpressed stopping now and then to make notes about <br />interesting possibilities for future expeditions or to shoot what he called “memory <br />snapshots.” The purpose of these causal photographs was to remind him of places <br />he might want to visit again and approach more seriously. In later afternoon he turned <br />north at Spokane, picking up U.S. Route 2, which would take him halfway across the <br />northern United States to Duluth, Minnesota. <br />He wished for the thousandth time in his life that he had a dog ,a golden retriever, <br />maybe ,for travels like this and to keep him company at home. But he was frequently <br />away; overseas much of the time and it would not be fair to the animal .Still ,he <br />thought about it anyway. In a few years he would be getting too old for the hard <br />fieldwork. “I must get a dog then.” He said to himself. <br />Drives like this always put him into a sentimental mood. The dog was part of <br />it .Robert Kincaid was alone as it’s possible to be—an only child ,parents both <br />dead , distant relatives who had lost track of him and he of them, no close friends. <br />He thought about Marian .She had left him nine years ago after five years of <br />marriage. He was fifty-two now , that would make her just under forty .Marian had <br />dreams of becoming a musician ,a folksinger .She knew all of the Weavers’ songs <br />and sang them pretty well in the coffeehouse of Seattle .When he was home in the <br />old days, he drove her to the shows and sat in the audience while she sang. <br />His long absences—two or three months sometimes—were hard on the marriage .He <br />knew that. She was aware of what he did when they decided to get married ,and both <br />of them had a vague(not clear) sense that it could all be handled somehow. It <br />couldn’t when he came from photographing a story in Iceland and ,she was gone . <br />The note read, “Robert ,it didn’t work out ,I left you the Harmony guitar. Stay <br />in touch.” <br />He didn’t stay in touch .Neither did she .He3 signed the divorce papers when <br />they arrived a year later and caught a plane for Australia the next day. She had <br />asked for nothing except her freedom. <br />1. Which route is the right one taken by Kincaid? <br />A. Bellingham—Washington 11—Puget Sound—U.S Route 20—U.S Route 2—Duluth <br />B. U.S. Route 2—Bellingham—Washington 11—Puget Sound—U.S Route 20—Duluth...
