The group of 10 travelers, which included nine tourists from South Korea, were making their way to Niagara Falls② from Washington, D.C, when they found themselves trapped in the middle of the snowstorm and couldn’t proceed. Two men in the group decided to knock on a door to ask for assistance. All the travelers ended up with a place to stay until they could be picked up on Sunday after the storm cleared. Alex Campagna, a dentist, said on Facebook that at about 2 p.m. on Friday, during  “the worst snowstorm I’ve experienced,” he heard a  “loud knock on the door.” When he opened the door, he found two foreigners standing in the snow, trembling with cold. Campagna and his wife ended up inviting the 10 people in, putting them up on sofas, in sleeping bags, and in a spare bedroom. Choi Yoseob, a member of the tour group, told The Times it was  “kind of like fate” that they’d ended up at the home of an enthusiastic  family.  “We have enjoyed this so much,” Choi said, describing the experience as unforgettable and a  “unique blessing.” The group spent Friday and Saturday swapping stories and cooking with their hosts. They watched an NFL③ game on Christmas Eve and made several Korean meals, adding that Campagna and his wife are fans of Korean food themselves and had ingredients needed to make some Korean food. Drivers picked up the tourists on Sunday when roads were cleared and brought them back to New York City. Choi said he and his wife planned to stay for New Year’s Eve. The others are scheduled to fly back to South Korea this week. 文化拓展 ①a good Samaritan：俚语，意为“好心人；见义勇为者；乐善好施者”。 A good Samaritan returned my lost wallet. 一个好心人把我丢失的钱包送了回来。 ②Niagara
