Passage 5
(福建省厦门外国语学校2009届高三最后一次模拟)
I moved to a new neighborhood two months ago.
In the house with a large 36 across the road lived a taxi driver,
a single parent with two school-age children. At the end of the day, he would 37
his taxi on the road. I 38
why he did not park it in the garage.
Then one day I learnt that he had another car
in his garage. In the afternoon he would come home 39
work, leave his taxi and
go out for his 40 affairs in his other car, not in his
taxi. I felt it was 41 .
I was curious to see his personal car but did
not make it until I 42 to be outside one evening two weeks 43
, when the garage door was 44 and he drove out in his “own” car: a
Rolls-Royce(劳斯莱斯)! It shook me completely 45
I realized what that meant. You see, he was a taxi driver. But 46
inside, he saw himself as something else: a Rolls-Royce owner and a(n) 47 . He drove
others in his taxi but himself and his children in his Rolls-Royce. The world
looked at his taxi and 48 him a taxi driver. But for him, a
taxi was just something he drove for a living. Rolls-Royce was something he
drove for a(n) 49
.
We go to bed every night
and 50 every morning as parents or
children, not as bankers, CEOs or professors. We go for a 51
as close friends or go for a vacation as a 52
. We love life as it is. Yet often, we base our entire happiness and
success on how high we 53 the social ladder-how much bigger
and better a 54 we have. And we ignore our
Rolls-Royce, by keeping it dusty in our garage. We should focus more on 55
we are than what we do!
