题目内容
【题目】 It was a Friday morning. I felt too lazy to drive my car, so I called a taxi. The taxi arrived at my door at 6:00 a.m. and I got into it. I was so busy looking for something in my bag that I didn’t pay any attention to the driver. I just said, “Please go right now! I’m in a hurry!”
A voice replied, “Yes, madam!”
I was surprised when I heard a female voice. I stopped what I was doing for a second and looked at the driver. The driver was a young lady of about thirty. It was my first time seeing a young lady driving a taxi!
The car was running smoothly towards my destination. It was quite a distance from my home. The driver was driving perfectly well. I had travelled in taxi many times, but I had never seen a young lady driver! I was curious about the reason why she had chosen this job, so I started a conversation, “If you don’t mind, can I ask you some questions?”
“Yes, madam, no problem.”
“I guess you are well-educated.”
“Yes, madam, I have completed my education. I have done my MBA courses.”
“Oh, wow! Why did you choose this job then, instead of going for a business or financial career?”
I could see her face in the rear view mirror (后视镜). She smiled and expressed her opinion. I was really amazed.
Very politely, she said, “I have been enthusiastic (感兴趣的) about driving since I was a child. I have fulfilled my childhood dream. I do respect each and every job. I don’t mind whether a job is good or bad in other people’s eyes. I want a job where I can get satisfaction. I received offers from big companies but I preferred this one because I like it. Although I can’t earn much money from this job, I love driving! That’s it!”
