said to the driver, "Thank you for the ride. You did a good job of driving."
The taxi driver was shocked for a second. Then he said, "Are you a wise man or something?"
"No, my dear man, and I'm not putting you on. I like the way you keep cool in heavy traffic."
"Yeah," the driver said and drove off.
"What was that all about?" I asked.
"I am trying to bring love back to New York," he said. "I believe it's the only thing that can save
the city."
" How can one man save New York?"
"It's not one man. I believe I have made that taxi driver's day. Suppose he has 20 fares(乘客).
He's going to be nice to those 20 fares because someone was nice to him. Those fares in turn will be
kinder to their shopkeepers or waiters or even their own families. Finally the goodwill could go to at
least 1000 people. Now that isn't bad, is it?"
"But you're depending on that taxi driver to pass your goodwill to others."
"I'm not depending on it," my friend said. "I might deal with ten different people today. If out of ten
I can make three happy, then I can have an effect on 3000 more people."
"It sounds good on paper," I said, "but I'm not sure it works in practice."
"Nothing is lost if it doesn't. It didn't take any of my time to tell that man he was doing a good job.
He neither received a larger tip nor a smaller tip. If it fell on deaf ears, so what? Tomorrow there will
be another taxi driver I can try to make happy."
B. angry
C. pleased
D. surprised
B. Because he hoped to bring love to the city.
C. Because the driver moved him really.
D. Because the driver often helped him.
B. It's not easy to carry out.
C. It's funny.
D. It's a little interesting.
B. the writer's friend wanted to be a good taxi driver.
C. the writer's friend did his best to make the world better.
D. the writer's plan would fail if the taxi driver didn't listen to him.

Only a note of thanks, but that was what made all the difference. This experience 53 me a good lesson, that is, 54 excellent you are, you should never forget the 55 manners of saying “Thank you!”.
