This is a talk by a London taxi(出租车)driver.
     "I've been a taxi driver for nearly ten years. Most London taxi drivers
have their own taxis."
     "It's a nice job most of time. you meet a lot of people. I always work
at night, because there is too much traffic during the day. I live twenty

miles(英里)outside London and I go to work at 5:30 in the afternoon."
     "I usually go home between 2 and 3 in the morning."
     "Some very strange things happened late at night .The other day I was
taking a woman home from a party .She had her little dog with her. When
we got to her house, she found that she had lost her key. So I waited in the
car with the dog while she climbed in through the windows."
     "I waited and waited. After half an hour of ringing the bell I decided to
find out what was going on .I tied the dog to a tree and started to climb in
through the window. The next thing I knew was that the police came.
They thought I was a thief(小偷).
     Luckily the woman came downstairs(下楼).She must have gone to
sleep and forgotten about me and the dog!"
