I still remember when this day started, I was very happy. Not only did I have the chance to miss school, but I also got
to sit in my dad’s taxi all day long and we would go to a 
restaurant for lunch.But after only 20 minutes of driving around the city. I was very bored. I couldn’t read my book in the car as I would get carsick(晕车)and my dad didn’t like to turn on the radio. I got hot and uncomfortable. people wouldn’t get into his taxi because they thought he already had a passenger: me—so nothing happened. It seemed years before we went out for lunch. I actually started to miss school.
While the point of the day is to give kids a chance to experience real-life jobs and give them an idea of the possibilities(可能性) for their futures, I got something completely different from the day. I learned to appreciate(重视) school. Where else do you get to play with your friends, do science experiments, read great books
and write stories all in one day?Just as you’ll have to learn to love your job later in life, learn to love school now. If you don’t already, try spending the day at work with your dad.

I was born in Ireland and lived there until I was nineteen years old. I came to New York in 1956. At first, I
held several jobs to eam a few dollars. Later, to live a better life, I bought my own taxi car. Till now, I've been in
the taxi car business for thirty-five years. I know there is a lot about taxi drivers that is not so good. Because of
this,people get the wrong impression (印象) that they are bad.
In fact, taxi drivers are just like other honest people. You can read in the papers almost every week where a
taxi driver tums in money or jewels people leave in their cars. One time in Brooklyn, I found a ring in my car. I
remembered helping a lady with a lot of bags that day, so I went back to the store where I had dropped her off. It took me almost two days to look for her in order to retum the ring. I didn't get as much as "Thank you. " Still, I
felt good because I had done what was right.
In all my years of driving a taxi car, I have never had any trouble with the public because I always try to be
nice to everyone. I try to be honest toward others. I have been trying this for a long time, and the longer I try,
the easier it gets.
I believe honesty is one of the greatest gifts there is. It's something that makes a man a good guy. This is
also my way to live by.
B. for 54 years
C. in 1956
D. since he was 19
B. a ring
C. some money
D. some jewels
B. Experience
C. Money
D. Honesty
It was a cold night. The taxi driver didn’t take even one passenger（乘客） all day. When he went by the railway station，he saw a young man coming out with two bags in his hands. So he drove to him and asked，“Where are you going，sir?”
