61. ________________________________

I believe honesty is one of the greatest gifts there is. I know they call it a lot of fancy names these days, like integrity (正直) and forthrightness (坦率) . But it doesn’t make any difference what they call it; it’s still what makes a man a good citizen.

62._______________________________

I’ve been in the taxi business for thirty-five years, and I know there is a lot about it that is not so good. Taxi drivers are rough and rude fellows to be able to take it in New York. You’ve got to be tough to fight the New York traffic eight hours a day these days. Because taxi drivers are tough, people get the wrong impression that they are bad. Taxi drivers are just like other people. Most of them are honest fellows. You read in the papers almost every week where a taxi driver turns in money or jewels or things like that people leave in their taxi. If they weren’t honest, you wouldn’t be reading those stories in the papers.

63. _________________________________

One time in Brooklyn, I found a diamond ring in my taxi. I remembered helping a lady with a lot of baggage that day, so I went back to where I had dropped her off. It took me almost two days to track her in order to return her ring. I didn’t get as much as “thank you”. Still, I felt good because I had done what was right. I think I felt better than she did.

64. ____________________________

I was born and raised in Ireland and lived there until I was nineteen years old. After I came to this country I bought my own taxi and have owned one ever since. It hasn’t been too easy times, but my wife takes care of our money and we have a good bit put away for a rainy day, even in those days. In all my years of driving a taxi, I have never had any trouble with the public, not even with drunks. Even if they get a little troublesome once in a while, I just agree with them and then they behave themselves.

65. ____________________________ks5u

People ask me about tips. As far as I know, practically everyone will give you something. Come to think of it, most Americans are pretty generous. I always try to be nice to everyone, whether they tip 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 longer I try, the easier it gets.
