分析 这是一篇社会文化类阅读.沿公路高速驾驶汽车似乎是很有趣的.你只需要跟着明亮的交通标志的公路旁,它会带你到你想去的地方,但对于伦敦的出租车司机,驾驶不是一件容易的事.出租车司机不仅需要具有良好的驾驶技能但也要对伦敦市有一个很好的知识,从孤独的街头流行的饭店.他必须在所有时间为各种旅客服务. 伦敦的出租车司机说他的工作如下.夜间,他通常是一顿饭分两三次才吃完.他说,"为了工作我不喝酒,否则我会失去我的驾驶执照."他通常在凌晨两点到三点之间回家,有时他不得不多呆一些时间,尽量多跑,他说:"这对自己来说是最糟糕的事情.但如果你不赚钱,就没有人会把钱给你."伦敦的出租车司机不仅"带",而且"给".每年夏天,数百名来自伦敦的可怜的孩子在海边乘出租车去一天!费用由出租车司机支付.在海边,他们遇到了市长,为出租车司机和孩子举行了午餐聚会,在海滩和逛市场后结束快乐的一天,孩子们乘出租车回家,当然免费!
