Mr. Strong is a London taxi driver. The following talk is given by him.
“I have been a taxi driver     36    nearly ten years. It’s a nice job most of the time. You meet a lot of people. I always work at night,     37    there is too much traffic during the day. I go to work at 5:30 in the afternoon, and I usually     38   between 2:00 and 3:00 in the morning.”
“Some     39    things happened late at night.     40    day I was taking a woman home from a party. She had her little dog with her. When we got to her house, she found that she had lost her     41     . So I waited in the car    42     she climbed in through the windows.”
“I waited and waited. After half an hour of ringing the bell I decided to find out    43     was going on. I tied the dog to a tree and started to     44    in through the window. The next thing I knew was that the police came. They thought I was a thief.”
“Luckily the woman came downstairs. She     45    have gone to sleep and forgotten me and the dog!”

If you go to London, you will see a lot of buses and cars on the road.You will also see lots of bikes because more and more people travel by bike.There are a lot of reasons for this.First, it's not expensive to buy a bike and it is quick, too.You often have to wait for a bus for half an hour.After you get on the bus, there are so many other buses and cars on the road that the bus moves very slowly.The underground train is quick but often crowded.

I traveled to work by bus for about four years.I often arrived at work late and tired.Then one day, about two years ago, a friend of mine said, “I go to work by bike every day.Please come and join me.” “But my bike is old, and there are so many buses and cars on the road.I'll feel frightened,” I answered.“You needn't feel afraid.If you follow me and we ride slowly, you will be fine,” he said.

The next day I bought a new bike.Although we went slowly, we arrived at work soon.It took 40 minutes to go by bus, but only half an hour by bike.

Now I love riding a bike to work.I arrive at work quickly and I've saved a little money, and more importantly, I feel healthy.Many people think my idea is good and maybe you will see more bikes on the road in the future.
