I had arrived at the airport about 30 minutes before the check-in. It had been a very busy three days for me with lots of meetings. So I was 　　 to have the extra time to make my notes on what I needed to do the 　 　　 day. But then 　 　　 the announcement that my flight had to be delayed 　 　　 there was a problem with the plane.

As I sat waiting for my flight 　 　　 　 I reflected on my last meeting of the day. It was not a business meeting 　 　　 rather a very enjoyable lunch with an old business friend I had not seen for over 12 years. Our lunch was spent recalling times 　　 as well as filling each other in on what 　 　　 in our lives over the last 12 years. We both laughed and smiled as we recalled the good times and the great 　 　　 we had shared together. At the end of our time together, we both said 　　 　 we had enjoyed it and 　 　　 　 we must do it again.

It was great to have this additional time to 　 　　 　 in my mind all that we had talked about. I realized just how important it is to have regular 　　 of the good times in your life. I was lucky enough to 　　 the chance to take a short break and reflect on the good things that had happened in my life over 12 years.

It was 　　 like looking at an old photo album stored away in a cupboard in your house. There before your eyes are lots of wonderful memories that 　　 　 you back to times and places, and most importantly 　　 those people who are in the photos.

My flight 　　 was finally called three hours later. I smiled as I boarded the plane and realized that I was 　　 　 upset about the delay in the flight，as I had been able to spend the time 　　 　 on the good times from days gone by．

The nervous-looking young man had waited for a few moments outside the jeweler’s before he got enough courage to enter. He was warmly greeted by a young assistant. James felt a rush of blood to his face as he explained he would be bringing in his future wife to choose a birthday present.

The assistant listened carefully and told him he’d better buy a necklace. He wasn’t used to buying jewelry and was a little worried about overspending, because he was not very rich. After some discussion as to a reasonable price and the type, the assistant showed him dozens of necklaces and helped him to choose.

At last James chose one and left the shop promising to return at five o’clock. Half an hour later than planned, James did return to the shop with his future wife, Laura. The assistant acted as if she had never seen him before. When she was asked to show them some necklaces, she first brought out some inexpensive ones for them to choose, and then gave them the ones she had prepared.

I arrived at the address and sounded the horn(喇叭). After waiting a few minutes I sounded the horn again. Since this was going to be my last ride of my shift (换班), I thought about just driving away, but instead I knocked on the door. “Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly voice.

After a long pause,a small woman in her .90’s stood before me. When we got in the cab,she gave me an address and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”

“It’s not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.

“Oh,I don’t mind,” she said. “I’m in no hurry. I’m on my way to a hospice (临终关怀医院). I don’t have any family left. She continued in a soft voice, “The doctor says I don’t have very long.” I quietly reached over and shut off the meter.

For the next two hours,we drove through the. city. She showed me the building where she had once worked as an elevator operator, the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived when they were newlyweds, a furniture warehouse that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.

As the dawn came, we got to the hospice. Two nurses came out to the taxi as soon as we pulled up. The woman was seated in a wheelchair in no time.

Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly. “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy,” she said. “Thank you.”

I drove into the dim morning light. Behind me, a door shut. It was the sound of the closing of a life. I drove aimlessly lost in thought. What if I had refused to take the run, or had sounded the horn once, then driven away?

1.Why did the author sound the horn twice?

A. He refused to take the run. B. He was about to drive away.

C. He had waited for a long time. D. He wanted to end his nightshift earlier.

2.Why did the woman ask the author to drive through the city?

A. To share her life experiences.

B. To take the shortest way to the hospice.

C. To review the important places in her life.

D. To show the author her former working places.

3.What can we infer from the text?

A. The taxi driver was impatient.

B. The old lady could take care of herself.

C. The ride had a great influence on the taxi driver.

D. The nurses were unaware of the old lady’s arrival.
