A traveler came out of the airport. There were a lot of taxis. He asked every taxi driver about his name. Then he took the third one. It cost 5 dollars from the airport to the hotel. “How much does it cost for the whole day?” The man asked. “100 dollars,” said the taxi driver. This was very dear (昂贵的), but the man said it was OK.
The taxi driver took the man everywhere. He showed him all the parks and museums in the city. In the evening they went back to the hotel. The traveler gave the taxi driver 100 dollars and said, “What about tomorrow?” The taxi driver looked at the man and said, “Tomorrow is another 100 dollars.” And the man said, “That’s OK! See you tomorrow.” The taxi driver was very pleased.
The next day the taxi driver took the traveler everywhere again. They visited all the parks and museums again. And in the evening they went back to the hotel. The man gave the taxi driver 100 dollars again and said, “I’m going home tomorrow.” The driver was sorry because he liked the traveler and 100 dollars a day was a lot of money. “So you are going home. Where do you come from?” He asked. “I come from New York.” “New York,” the taxi driver said, “I have a sister in New York. Her name is Susan. Do you know her?” “Of course I know her.

Maybe some visitors would be surprised when they first came to India.When they talked to an Indian, he would often shake his head.The visitors might think.that the Indian did not like what they said.But, in fact,

One day, a foreign officer went to India on business.He hired (雇用) a car and an Indian to drive it. When he told his driver to send him to his office, the Indian shook his head at once.The officer said again, and
the driver shook his head again.At last, of course, the officer got angry.
"What do you mean?" he shouted, "Drive me to my office at once!"
The driver answered in quite a loud voice, too. "Yes,sirl" But to the officer's surprise, the driver shook
his head at the same time.
The car started, and the foreign officer was now too surprised to say a word.He thought about it for a while,and then nodded with a smile,is s No' means 6Yes' here! "

not 5. with the driver any more.
