   I was born in Ireland and lived there until I was nineteen years old. I came to New York in 1956. At first, I
held several jobs to eam a few dollars. Later, to live a better life, I bought my own taxi car. Till now, I've been in
the taxi car business for thirty-five years. I know there is a lot about taxi drivers that is not so good. Because of
this,people get the wrong impression (印象) that they are bad.
      In fact, taxi drivers are just like other honest people. You can read in the papers almost every week where a
taxi driver tums in money or jewels people leave in their cars. One time in Brooklyn, I found a ring in my car. I
remembered helping a lady with a lot of bags that day, so I went back to the store where I had dropped her off. It took me almost two days to look for her in order to retum the ring. I didn't get as much as "Thank you. " Still, I
felt good because I had done what was right.
      In all my years of driving a taxi car, I have never had any trouble with the public because I always try to be
nice to everyone. I try to be honest toward others. I have been trying this for a long time, and the longer I try,
the easier it gets.
      I believe honesty is one of the greatest gifts there is. It's something that makes a man a good guy. This is
also my way to live by.
1. The writer came to New York ____ .
A. for 35 years

  President (總統(tǒng)) George W Bush is visiting an elementary school today and visits one of the 4th grade classes. They are in the middle of a discussion(討論) of words and their meanings.

  The teacher asks the President if he would like to lead the class in the discussion of the word“tragedy”. So the President asks the class for an example of a“tragedy”.

  One little boy stands up and says,“If my best friend, who lives next door, is playing in the street and a car comes along and runs him over, that would be a tragedy.”

  “No,”says Bush,“that would be an accident.”

  A little girl puts up her hand,“If a school bus carrying 50 children drove off a cliff(懸崖), killing everyone in the bus, that would be a tragedy.”

  “I am afraid not,”explains the President.“That is what we would call a GREAT LOSS(損失).”

  The room goes quiet. No other children answer. President Bush looks around the mom.“Is not there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?”

  At last, in the back of the room, a boy named Johnny puts up his hand. In a quiet voice he says,“If Air Force One, carrying you and Mrs Bush, was hit by a missile(導(dǎo)彈) and blown up to pieces, that would be a tragedy.”

  “Right,”exclaims(大叫)Bush,“that is right, and can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?”

  “Well,”little Johnny says,“because, as you just told us, it would not be an accident, and it sure as well would not be a great loss.”
