4.根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,選擇最佳答案.
When thinking of Britain,many images come to mind:Big Ben,the Ferris wheel,red telephone boxes …and black London taxis.The taxi has an important role in London.
But what is so special about a simple taxi?First of all,the shape and style are very different from those of ordinary taxis.It looks like a half-car and half-van(半廂式貨車).It has plenty of room in the back,which means it's easy for disabled people to use.And the black color makes it stand out on the road.
Besides the style of the car,taxi drivers have an important part in your travel.They have to pass a taxi driving test,and in London it is very difficult.As there are many tourists in London,drivers must know many roads by memory!
Apart from driving you to your destination,it is normal for the driver and passenger to have a conversation.Getting a taxi involves (涉及) a social space which the driver and you share.The image of a London taxi driver is one that is friendly and talkative.Most times when I get a taxi,I ask how the driver is.Then we usually talk about sports or new events.
In China,I've noticed that taxi drivers are usually quieter.Sometimes I try to speak with them in Chinese.And when I do,they usually seem friendly and open to talk.It's also a good situation to practice my Chinese!
