一、阅读理解（共4题,每题5分，共20分)
After a few moments，my passenger started a conversation. It began ordinarily enough，“How do you like driving a cab?”
“It’s OK，" I said。

“I make a living and meet interesting people sometimes。

How about you？" However，his reply intrigued me.
“I would not change jobs even if I could make twice as much money by doing something else.”
I’d never heard that before。

“What do you do？”
“I’m in the neurology (神经学）department at New York Hospital。

”
Then I decided to ask for this man’s help。

We were not far from the airport。

“Could I ask you a big favor？I have a son，15, a good kid. He wants a part-time job，but a 15-year-old can’t get hired easily。

Is there any possibility that you could get him some kind of summer job?"
He didn’t respond for a while. Finally，he said，“Well，the medical students have a summer research project。

Maybe he could fit in. Have him send me his school record。

” I tore off a piece of my brown lunch bag，and he wrote his name and number on it and paid me。

It was the last time I had ever seen him.
After I nagged (唠叨），yelled, and finally threatened to cut off his pocket money, my son Robert sent off his grades to the guy the next morning。

Two weeks later，when I arrived home from work，my son was
excited。

He handed me a letter from my passenger, saying he was to call my passenger’s secretary for an interview.
Robert got the job。

He did minor tasks, unpaid, but he fitted in well。

The following summer，he worked at the hospital again with more responsibility。

As high school graduation neared, Dr Plum was kind enough to write letters of recommendation for Robert and he was accepted by Brown University。

Finally，Dr Robert Stern, the son of a taxicab driver，became the chief resident (首席住院医师）at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center.
Some might call it fate，and I guess it is. But it shows that something as ordinary as a taxi ride can change your life.

Almost all parents in China hope their son or daughter will have happy future. They are very strict with their children，and so is teachers in schools！Many children are given so much homework which they hardly have any spare time to do sports。

It is no wonder that there're so many children tiring of their lessons. Some even attack their parents or teachers! I strong believe many people had already read this kind of news in newspapers or magazines。
