Driving a car at a high speed along a highway seems to be fun. You only need to 1 the bright traffic signs beside the highway and it will take you where you wish to go.

    But to a London taxi driver, driving is not an easy job. A taxi driver needs to have not only good driving skills but also a good 2 of the city of London, from the 3 street to the most popular restaurant around. He has to be at the service (服务)of all kinds of passengers (乘客)at all times.

    A London taxi driver said the following about his job.

    During the night it is 4 for him to stop two or three times for some food. He said, “I never 5 when I’m working, otherwise, I’d lose my license (驾驶执照

    He usually goes home between two and three o’clock in the morning. There are times he has to stay 6 and try to make more runs. He said, “That’s the worst thing about working for yourself.: If you don’t make money, no one is going to 7 it to you. ”

    London taxi drivers not only “take” but also “give”. Every summer hundreds of poor 8 from London go for a day at the sea 一 by taxi! Their rides are 9 by the taxi drivers. At the sea, they are met by the mayor (市长),and a lunch party is also held for the taxi drivers and the children. After a happy day’s running around the 10 and visiting the market there, the children go home again by taxi, free of charge of course!
