单元话题阅读理解练习
(2022春·上海静安·七年级上海市风华初级中学校考期中)1 What job do you do?
I’ve been a taxi driver for about five years. Before that I was a bus driver in London, and I enjoyed it, but I wanted to be more independent so I changed and started driving my taxi.
2 Have you ever met famous people?
Oh yes. I’ve had film stars, politicians, you know, lots of famous people. About a year ago, a really famous actor got in my taxi. I took him to the airport. There was a lot of traffic and it took a long time to get there, so he missed his plane. It wasn’t my fault but when he got out of the taxi, he said some things that weren’t very polite! I said to him, ‘Next time, take a bus!’
3 Can you find anything left by your passengers?
Oh yes! People have left all kinds of things in here—a suitcase, a hat, mobile phones of course, even a dog once! Years ago, a woman left a pair of shoes on the back seat. And one time a passenger left his teeth here! Not real teeth, of course—false teeth.
And people have asked me to do some strange jobs. Once a doctor stopped me outside a hospital and asked me to take a skeleton(骨架) to another hospital. And I did. But I asked the doctor to pay first—the skeleton couldn’t pay, after all!
4 Do you like your job?
I’ve always enjoyed being a taxi driver and I don’t want to change. But of course, sometimes, it’s not great. I don’t like driving around without a passenger, but it’s better than just waiting at the airport or at a railway station. I think that’s the worst part—waiting.
