In the capital of Haiti, Port-au-Prince(太子港), the most popular form of transportation is the“tap-tap”．The tap-tap is the quickest means of 1 transportation and the least costly way to 2 around．It is also a 3 happening．It is 4 you get the news of the day or something．
A tap-tap is a pickup truck that has been changed into a 5 work of art．To make a tap-tap, a designer first draws the layout(设计图)and a workman build a 6 wooden box to protect people from the sun or the rain．There are two long benches inside for at least twelve people to sit somewhat 7 ．Lastly the artist and a painter work together to 8 a colorful covering of the drawings．
Each tap-tap is a 9 work of art and no two are the same． 10 you to visit Port-au-Prince, you could not 11 these very colorful works of art．
There are three to four thousand tap-taps in Prot-au-Prince．They are different in size and 12 ．Some are big, some small;some are 13 , some beautiful and colorful．Although most of the tap-taps are built to carry a 14 or so people at a time, they often carry more people．The 15 tap-taps always have more customers waiting for a ride．
In Port-au-Prince, people who can’t 16 to buy their own private cars usually ride the taps．These trucks are also very 17 for children going to and from school．
Whenever I travel to Haiti, it is always a 18 to see so many wonderful newly painted tap-taps with all the people inside．The thing I like best is that you 19 know who you might meet inside because in Haiti we are almost all 20 with each other．

I recently heard a story from Malcolm Dalkoff, who has been a professional 2 for the last twenty-four years, mostly in advertising．
As a boy, Dalkoff was terribly shy and 3 ．He had few friends and no self-confidence．Then one day, his high-school English teacher, Ruth Brauch, asked the class to write their own chapter that would 4 the last chapter of the novel since they had been reading To Kill a Mockingbird．Dalkoff wrote his chapter and turned it in．Today he cannot recall anything special about the chapter he wrote, or what 5 Mrs．Brauch gave him． 6 , what he does remember is the four words in the paper：“This is good writing．” Four words．They 7 his life．
“Until I read those words, I had no idea of who I was or what I was or what I was going to be,” he said, “After reading her 8 , I went home and wrote a short story, 9 I had always dreamed of doing but never believed I could do．”
Over the rest of that year in school, he wrote many short stories and always brought them to Mrs．Brauch for instruction．“She was 10 , helping and honest．She was just what I needed,” Dalkoff said．
