I have learned a lot from being a taxi driver. I’ve been in the      for many years, and I know there is a lot about it that is not so      . Taxi drivers have to be tough to      the New York traffic eight hours a day. Because taxi drivers are tough, people get the wrong       that they are bad. However, you can read in the      almost every week that taxi drivers      the things people left in their cabs. If they weren’t      , you wouldn’t read those moving stories in the papers.
In 1913, I bought my own cab. It was difficult at that time so I had      part of my money for something unexpected. I did pretty well,      in those days. Once in Brooklyn, I found a      in my cab. I remembered helping a lady with a lot of baggage that day, so I went back to where I had      her off. It took me almost two days to find her so as to      the ring. I didn’t get as much as “    ”. Still, I felt good because I had done what was right.
People ask me about the      . As far as I know,      everyone will give you something. You know most Americans are pretty      . I always try to be nice to everyone, whether they tip or not. In all my years of driving a cab, I have never had any        with the public. I try to          others the way I want to be treated. I have been trying this for a long time, and the longer I try, the      it gets. Up till now, I still hold the view that      is one of the greatest qualities of people.

I was caught in the war and put to prison．I was sure that I was to be killed，I became terribly nervous．I reached in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes(香烟)，which had   36__ their search．I found one and because of my 37 hands，I could only get it to my lips.But I had no 38 ．
I looked   39 the bars(铁栏)at my jailer(狱警)．He did not make eye contact with me．I called out to him,“Have you got a light?” He looked at me，and came over to 40 my cigarette．
As he came close and lit the match，his eyes met with mine．At that moment，I smiled I don't know 41 I did that，Perhaps it was 42 ，perhaps it was because，when you get very close，one to another，it is very hard not to 43 ．In any case，I smiled．It was   44   a spark(火花)jumped across the distance between our two hearts．I know he didn't want to，but my smile jumped through the bars and caused a smile on his lips．He lit my cigarette but stayed near，looking at me 45_ in the eyes and continuing to smile．
I kept smiling at him，now   46 of him as a person and not just a jailer．And his looking at me seemed to have a new   47 ，too．“Do you have kids?” he asked．
“Yes，here，here．”I took out my wallet and nervously searched for the pictures of my family．He, too，took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his 48 and hopes for them．My eyes were filled with   49 ．w*w^w.k&s#5@u.c~o*mI said that I feared that I'd never see my family again，never have the chance to see them grow up．Tears came to his eyes，too．
Suddenly， 50  ，he unlocked my cell(牢房)and silently led me out．Out of the prison，quietly and by   51 routes，out of the town．There，at the edge of town，he set me   52 ．And without another word，he turned back toward the town．
My life was 53 by a smile．
Yes, the smile—the unaffected，unplanned，natural connection between people．I really believe that if that part of you and that part of me could   54 each other，we wouldn’t be enemies．We couldn’t have 55 or envy or fear．

Dear son,
The day that you see me old and I am already not in good health, have patience and try to understand me.
If I get dirty when eating, if I can not dress, have patience and remember the hours I   36   teaching it to you. If, when I speak to you, I   37   the same things thousand and one times, do not   38   me, listen to me. When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story   39   you got to sleep. When I do not want to have a   40 , neither shame me nor scold me. Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I   41 , in order that you wanted to bathe. When you see my   42   little about new technologies, give me the necessary time and do not look at me with your mocking (嘲弄) smile. I taught you   43   to do so many things: to eat good, to dress well, to confront life…. When at some moment I lose the memory or the   44   of our conversation, let me have the necessary time to remember, and if I cannot do it, do not become nervous, as the most important thing is not our conversation but surely to be with you and to have you   45   to me.
If ever I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well   46   I need to and when not. When my   47   legs do not allow me to walk, give me your   48 , the same way I did when you gave your first   49 . And when someday I say to you that I do not want to   50   any more — that I want to rest forever, do not get angry. Someday you will understand.
Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived. Some day you will discover that, 51   my mistakes, I always wanted the   52   thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you. You must not feel sad, angry or impotent (无可奈何) for seeing me   53   you. You must be next to me, try to understand me and to help me as I did it when you   54   living. Help me to walk, help me to end my way with love and   55 . I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.
I love you, Son.

I was cleaning out an old box when an old card caught my eye: Queen City Casket Company. “What is it?” I wondered. I 21 it over. There, in faded ink, was a hand-scrawled(手写的)   22   . Immediately my mind traveled back many years.
I was nine years old, walking down the cold, wet street of Springfield, with a bag of   23
on my shoulder. On my rounds that day, I came to that Company finally, whose owner, Mr. Rader, had always taken me there to ask his workers if they wanted any magazines.
24   off the rain like a wet dog, I entered Mr. Rader’s office. After a quick glance he led me over to the fire-place. Noticing the hole in the top of my __25__, he said, “Come with me!”, pulling me into his pickup truck. We pulled to a stop before a shoe store. Inside, a salesman                   26    me with the finest pair of Oxfords I had ever seen. I   27   about 10 feet tall when I got up in them. “We’d like a pair of new socks too,” Mr. Rader said.
Back in his office, Mr. Rader took out a   28   , wrote something on it, and handed it to me. With tearful eyes, I read, “Do to others as you would have them do to you.” He said   29 , “Jimmy, I want you to know I love you.”
