　　Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living．One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2：30a．m．When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window．

　　I walked to the door and knocked, "Just a minute," answered a weak, elderly voice．

　　After a long time, the door opened．A small woman in her eighties stood before me．By her side was a small suitcase．

　　I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman．She took my arm and we walked slowly towards the car．

　　She kept thanking me for my kindness．"It's nothing," I told her．"I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated．"

　　"Oh, you're such a good man．" She said．When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, "Could you drive through downtown?"

　　"It's not the shortest way," I answered quickly．

　　"Oh, I'm in no hurry," she said．"I'm on my way to a hospice(臨終醫(yī)院)．I don't have any family left．The doctor says I don't have very long．"

　　　Sometimes she'd ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness , saying nothing．

　　At dawn, she suddenly said, "I'm tired．Let's go now．" We drove in silence Lo the address she had given me．

　　"How much do I owe you?" she asked．

　　"Nothing．" I said．

　　"You have to make a living," she answered．"Oh, there are other passengers," I answered．

　　Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug．She held onto me tightly．Our hug ended with her remark, "You gave an old woman a little moment of joy．"

     In many western schools, sports day is a big event. Children take part in competitive (競(jìng)爭性的)
sports, trying to break school records and take the first place.
     Sports days, or sports meets, are usually held in the warmer seasons, either at the beginning or the
end of the school year. They are also called field days.
     Primary school sports days are fun. They usually have activities such as the egg and the spoon race
and the sack race. Other events include the skipping race (跳繩) and the three-legged race. In middle
and high schools, sports days include many of the common track and field events (田徑項(xiàng)目).  They
are more serious and competitive than primary school ones.
     Students' parents and other relatives also come to the  school on sports days. They watch children
play. Many schools in the West have "mothers and fathers" races for parents to take part in!
     Although sports days are exciting, they also have some problems. According to some reports in the
USA, sports days have become too competitive to be good for students. Some parents put too much
pressure(壓力) on the children. Some schools don't have "mothers and fathers" races any more as there
is much fighting and cheating.
