4.Driving a car at a high speed along a highway seems to be fun.You only need to follow 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 knowledge of the city of London,from the loneliest street to the popular restaurant around.He has to be at the service 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 usual for him to stop two or three times for some food.He said,"I never drink when I'm working,otherwise I'd lose my license (駕駛執(zhí)照)."
He normally goes home between two and three o'clock in the morning.There are times he has to stay longer 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 give it to you."
London taxi drivers not only"take"but also"give".Every summer hundreds of poor children from London go for a day at the sea-by taxi!There rides are paid by the taxi drivers.At the sea,they are met by the mayor (市長),and a lunch party is also held for the taxi drivers and the children.After a happy day's running around the beaches and visiting the market there,the children go home again by taxi,free of charge of course!

分析 這是一篇社會文化類閱讀.沿公路高速駕駛汽車似乎是很有趣的.你只需要跟著明亮的交通標志的公路旁,它會帶你到你想去的地方,但對于倫敦的出租車司機,駕駛不是一件容易的事.出租車司機不僅需要具有良好的駕駛技能但也要對倫敦市有一個很好的知識,從孤獨的街頭流行的飯店.他必須在所有時間為各種旅客服務. 倫敦的出租車司機說他的工作如下.夜間,他通常是一頓飯分兩三次才吃完.他說,"為了工作我不喝酒,否則我會失去我的駕駛執(zhí)照."他通常在凌晨兩點到三點之間回家,有時他不得不多呆一些時間,盡量多跑,他說:"這對自己來說是最糟糕的事情.但如果你不賺錢,就沒有人會把錢給你."倫敦的出租車司機不僅"帶",而且"給".每年夏天,數(shù)百名來自倫敦的可憐的孩子在海邊乘出租車去一天!費用由出租車司機支付.在海邊,他們遇到了市長,為出租車司機和孩子舉行了午餐聚會,在海灘和逛市場后結束快樂的一天,孩子們乘出租車回家,當然免費!
