I believe being honest is one of the greatest gifts. I know they call it a lot of fancy names these days，like　36　and straightforward. And it’s still what 37 a man a good citizen. This is my code(准则)，and I try to live by.
I’ve been in the taxi business for thirty-five years， 38　 there is a lot about it that is not so good. Taxi drivers have to be rough and tumble(乱作一团) fellows to be able to take it in New York. You've got to be 39 to fight the New York traffic eight hours a day.
Because taxi drivers are tough，people get the 40 impression that they are bad. Taxi drivers are just like other people. Most of them will act as 41 fellows. Almost every week you read in the papers where a taxi driver 42 money or jewels or like that people leave in their 43 . If they weren't honest，you wouldn't be reading those stories in the papers. One time，I found an emerald（翡翠的）ring in my car. I remembered helping a lady with a lot of suitcases that day，so I went back to where I had 44 her off. It took me almost two days to wait for her in order to return her 45 to her. I didn't get as much as “thank you.” 46 ，I felt good because I had done what was right. I think I felt better than she 47 .
I was born and brought up in Ireland until I was nineteen years old. I came to this country in 1913 where I 48 several jobs to earn a few dollars before joining the army in World War I. After being discharged(退伍)，I bought my own car and have owned one ever since. It hasn’t been too easy 49 ，but my wife takes care of our money and we have a good bit 50 for a rainy day(一时之需). In all my years of driving a taxi，I have never had___51__ with the public，not even with drunks. Even if they get a little headstrong(顽固的) once in a while，I just agree with them and then they behave themselves.
People ask me about tips. As far as I know， 52 everyone will give you something，because most Americans are 53 generous. I always try to be nice to everyone，whether they 54 or not. I believe in God and try to be a good member of my parish（教区）. I try to act toward others like I think God wants me to act. I have been trying this for a long time，and the 55 I try，the easier it gets.

I was working in a store three years ago. I remember one girl who started   36   there a few months after me. I remember always meeting her. I don’t know   37   but for a strange reason we would never talk. We would just see each other and smile.
She would    38   smile in a really happy way until one day when we got to work in the    39   department again. She    40   as if she was the happiest girl in the world. But I had a strange feeling. So I went up to her and asked,“What’s wrong with you?”She answered, “Why?”I said,“I could feel you’re very   41   today and you’re trying to hide it.”
She was shocked(震惊的) as if I had    42   her deepest secret, so we started    43 .
She told me why she was feeling like that and why she was    44   to hide it and we had a good time together. Time    45   and we became good friends. She’d always tell me I had changed her    46   in so many ways, but I could not    47   how it had happened. I would just smile, not understanding what she    48   by that.
Today this girl is one of my best    49 . I really don’t know what I would do    50
her. She has been there for me in every possible way a friend could be.
I guess what I’m trying to say is you     51    know when you’re helping yourself. I
52   this girl never knowing that at the same time I was helping myself by finding a(n)
53    friend.
So the next time you see a    54   and he looks as if he needs    55   who will listen to him, listen to what he has to say. You never know, you might just end up helping yourself.

An interesting experience of my life
I went to Beijing this National holiday, and it was an interesting experience of my life.
My friends told us that taking the “hard   41 ” to Beijing would be really terrible.

It was not   45   at all.
It was morning when we arrived. We stepped out of the railway station, having sat in hard seats and not getting much   46   . However, we had energy. First we tried to get return tickets to shanghai, but the tickets seller   47   us that tickets would not be on   48   for another two days. We were a little worried about getting   49   , but we made up our minds to   50   for the hotel to put our bags down. After fighting our way    51   the “gypsy” taxi drivers that tried to   52   us one hundred yuan for the ride, we found a taxi and it   53   cost us thirty yuan to get   54    we had planned to go. When we reached the hotel, there was a window for airplane and train tickets. 55   the man behind the counter could get tickets that day, which we   56 . The most important lesson about China I ever   57 , is to get someone to do your work for you, and it seems to work out much   58   .

While in Beijing we saw a lot of places of interest, most of which were very   60   . It was fun to be with thousands of people in one place. There aren’t any words to describe it.
