A Passion（热情）for Driving

It was a Friday morning, 7:30 am. I felt too lazy to drive my car, so my son booked an Uber. In five minutes, the Uber reached our door. I checked the cab number and got inside the car. I was busy searching my bag for an important paper, so I just said, “Please, go quickly! I’m in a hurry!”

The driver replied, “Yes, ma’am!”

I was surprised when I heard a female voice. I stopped for a second and looked at the driver. She was a young lady. Maybe around 30 or 32 years old. I had never had a female Uber driver before. I became interested in why she chose this job. I started the conversation, “If you don’t mind, can I ask you some questions?”

“Yes, ma’am! No problem,” she said.

“I guess you are well-qualified,” I said.

“Yes, ma’am! I have completed my education. I have even gotten my MBA.”

“What made you choose to do this job?” I could see her smiling face in the rear-view mirror(后视镜).

I love driving. I don’t care how big or small my job is. I wanted a job where I can get satisfaction. I haven’t made much money from it yet, but as I told you, I love driving! That’s all there is to it.” Very politely, she said, “Driving has been my passion since childhood. Of course, I respect each and every job. In this case, at least I realized my dream.

1.When the author first got into the cab, she was surprised because ___________.

A. she entered the wrong cab　　 B. she couldn’t find an important paper

C. she was running late　　 D. she noticed the driver was a woman

Friday, November 23rd　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Sunny

I am a boy. I was very sleepy in the morning, so I didn’t go running as usual. I had something for breakfast. Then my new day began. The English exam results would come out today. My classmates all felt very nervous, so did I. In the morning, we had four lessons. But I only like Chinese best of all. I like reading Chinese stories very much. When I am free, I always go to the library to borrow some Chinese story books. In the afternoon, our English teacher told us the result of last exam. Luckily, I got an A this time. I was happy. After class, some of my classmates called me, and invited me to play basketball with them. I went with them, but I didn’t do well in playing it.

When Mr. Brown entered the classroom that Friday morning, he stopped at the blackboard.　 For there, on the blackboard, were words in huge red letters: BROWN IS STUPID!

Mr. Brown thought for a moment. This could only have been the work of one of the four boys who had been kept in after school the day before.

Mr. Brown turned the blackboard around so that the words could not be seen. Half an hour later,Mr. Brown wrote four names on the board: Gerald, Alex, Michael and Laurie. Then he said, “I want these four to stay in the classroom. The rest of you may go to the playground.”

The four boys came to the blackboard. “One of you has written a most impolite remark on the blackboard,” he stared （盯着看）at them and thundered, “which one of you did it?”

The four boys gathered closer together, afraid of what was to come.

“Was it you, Gerald?”

Gerald shook his head. “No, it was not me, Sir,” he gave the teacher a most sincere look in his wide eyes.

“What do you have to say, Alex?”

“I don’t know anything about it, Sir,” said Alex, and his ears turned red.

Michael had a bright idea. “Perhaps someone broke in during the night,” he said. “And when he saw the lovely red chalk lying there, he wrote something on the blackboard.”

“Is that the best you can think so, Michael?” asked the teacher.

“I only thought ...”

“And what about you, Laurie?”

Laurie said in a rather low voice, “I didn’t do it, Sir. I don’t even know what it says on the blackboard.”

“You really don’t know what’s written there?” Mr. Brown asked. “And I don’t think dear Gerald knows either.”

“No, Sir. No idea.”

“Michael, Alex, can either of you tell me what it says on the blackboard?”

“No, Sir!” the two boys answered together. Brown walked forward and his fingers seized(揪住) a schoolboy. He said in his kindest and softest voice to the other three boys, “Very well. I only punish the one who has been telling lies, and you three may go to the playground!”

On Friday, 7 June, an Italian Airlines flight was ready to leave Rome for Tokyo in Japan. All the passengers were on the plane. The departure time was 21:00. The seatbelt signs were turned on, so passengers were not allowed to stand up and had to stay in their seats. Then something unusual happened.

A woman decided that she had to go to the toilet. So she got up and walked to the back of the plane. The toilet door was clearly marked ‘TOILET’, but the woman opened a door next to the toilet. This door was the emergency exit and, when she opened it, the evacuation slide (逃生滑梯) opened. Because of this, the plane was not able to take off.

All the passengers had to leave the plane. When the evacuation slide has opened, there are two possibilities. Workers can change the slide at the airport, but the flight will be delayed for a long time. Or the plane can take off without an evacuation slide and replace it when it has landed, but the number of passengers on the plane must be smaller for safety reasons.

Thirty-eight passengers had to stay at a hotel at the Airport and take another flight the next day. The other passengers got back on the plane, and it finally took off at 05:10 on Saturday morning. It arrived in Tokyo at 14:10. Some passengers found that their luggage was still in Italy. But perhaps they were lucky …

1.What city was the Italian Airlines flight ready to fly to?

2.Passengers on the plane were allowed to stand up and walk about, weren’t they?

3.Why was the flight delayed?

4.In what situation can the plane take off without the evacuation slide?

5.How long did it take the plane to get to the destination?

6.Do you think the passengers on the plane lucky or unlucky? Why?
