  It was a cold wet night. The taxi driver hadn't had any passenger all day. When he went by the bus station, he saw a young man from the country coming out, carrying two big bags. “Aha!” thought the taxi driver. “Here's the right person to make good this bad day.” He quickly stopped the taxi and opened the door.

  Driver:Where do you want to go, sir?

  Young Man:To the Park Hotel.

  The taxi driver felt very sorry when he heard that. The Park Hotel was hardly two kilometers away. The young man would give him fifty cents(美分) at most. Only fifty cents! Then he had an idea of taking the young man by a longer way-going all around the city and then back to the Park Hotel. This he did, and after a long time the taxi arrived at the hotel at last.

  Driver:You should pay me fifteen dollars, sir. Young Man:What? Fifteen dollars? Do you think I'm a fool? You're trying to cheat(欺骗)me.

  Driver:How can you say I…

  Young Man:You must think I don't know my way around.

  Driver:But…

  Young Man:Only last week I took a taxi from the station to this hotel, I know how much I should pay.

  Driver:Oh…Oh…all right. Now…now look…oh…

  Young Man:I think I should call the policeman.

  Driver:Oh, no! Please don't do that! I have four hungry children and my wife is ill in bed.

  Young Man:All right! This time I'll forget it.

  Driver:Oh, thank you, sir. And you are right. You needn't pay that much.

  Young Man:You don't have to tell me that. I come from the country, but I'm as clever as you city people.

  Driver:Yes, sir.

  Young Man:I just won't he cheated. I won't pay you a cent more than I paid the other taxi last week…thirteen dollars!

How to talk to a foreigner? Students often want to practice their English outside class.One of the best ways to practice your English is to speak to a foreigner.This week's question comes from a student who is eager to start a conversation with the foreigners he sees every day.He asks, “Is it okay to talk to foreigners I see in the street? The answer is yes and no, but probably no.If you see a foreigner who looks lost,it is polite to ask him。”May I help you? But,otherwise(除此之外),you should probably let him get on with his business.Situations,however, do exist where it is quite all right to talk to foreigners.If a foreigner enters year school,classroom,office,shop or restaurant,for instance,feel free to ask them  (for example):

--May I know your name,please?

--Where do you come from?

--What do you think of Beijing?

--How long will you stay in Beijing?

There are also situations where it's okay to talk to foreigners in public places.If you see a foreigner alone in a restaurant,bar or care, it may be appropriate(恰当的)to ask him or her:

--Is this seat free?

--Do you mind if I talk to you in English?

--You pan probably help them if they are new to China and if they are alone,you may be able to make them feel more welcome.After a few such questions, you should know whether this person wants to talk to you or not.If they ask you similar questions, or if they give long, informative(提供有用信息的)answers, you're in luck.If not,then give them their privacy(独处).Talking to strangers is fun if you choose the right time and place.
