問題詳情:
When I came out of my office, it was dark. In order to get home as soon as possible, I hired a taxi. The car was 21 along the road, now well-lit, now sank in darkness. I broke the 22 on purpose, 23 that the driver might be too tired to drive. “When do you go back home in the evening?”
“9 o’clock. I’ll go after this trip.”
“Then when do you come out in the morning?” I 24 another question.
“9 o’clock, too. And I go home for lunch and dinner, just as if I worked at an office.” His easiness surprised me, because every time I ride in a taxi, what I hear from the 25 are only complaints (抱怨). They complain that they 26 work 27 , that it is 28 to earn money, that they are bullied (欺侮) by the policeman, or that the corporation leaders are seated 29 and enjoy the 30 of others’ work. It seems that they have a grievance (不滿意) against everything. But this driver told me, “I find it 31 to be a section chief as I was before. I don’t like management work. I like driving, just for 32 . It’s 33 that I 34 drive without a passenger. So I can earn two or three thousand yuan a month with ease. Any 35 ? Yes, I never follow an empty taxi. If it goes 36 , I go northward. If it goes along the highway, I turn into a 37 street. In this way I always get customers.
His words showed his satisfaction with his life and the pride he 38 in his job. Such feelings are so 39 among people nowadays as oxygen in high mountains. As an ancient saying 40 , “Neither joy in material gains nor grieve over personal setbacks (挫折).” How many people nowadays can show high ideals by simple living and go far with a calm mind? I couldn’t help feeling curious when I found such a state of mind in a stranger on a cold winter night.
