第一节阅读理解

Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living and sometimes I had to work at night. One late night, I got a
telephone call from a neighborhood. When I arrived there at 2:30 a.m., the only building was dark except for a
single light in the first floor window. So I walked up and knocked at the door.
“Just a minute,” answered a weak voice. After a long time, the door opened and a small woman stood in front of me. Next to her was a small suitcase.
Quickly I took her suitcase to the car and then returned to hold her. She took my arm and we walked slowly
to the car. She kept thanking me for my kindness. “It’s nothing”, I told her, “I just try to treat m way I would want my mother treated.”
When we got in the car, she asked, “Can you drive me through downtown?”
“But it's not the shortest way,” I replied.
（临终医院）. I don’t have any family left.
“I’m in no hurry.” she said slowly, “I’m on my way to a hospice
The doctor says I don't have very long time.”
I quietly turned off the meter. For the next two hours, we drove through the city and passed the building
where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived, and some other special
places. As the sun was rising, we stopped in front of a low building where two nurses were waiting.
I replied.
“How much should I pay?” she asked. “Nothing.”
“But you have to make a living.”
“Oh, there are other passengers.” Without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly and said, “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy,thank you.”
