Question

9．When I crossed a small road on my first day in Kolkata，I was surprised because I heard a bell-not a horn （喇叭），It was a tiny man pullinga rickshaw，He stopped and picked up two children from the front door of theirhouse and pulled them to school．For many people，the rickshaw in Kolkata hasmany advantages，When the traffic is bad，rickshaws find a way through thetraffic．If your miss your bus and there aren't any taxis，you can always finda rickshaw in Kolkata．Rickshaws are from your house to the market and waitsfor you．Then he loads （装载）all your things，drops you off outside your home and helps youunload，No other type of public transport offers this kind of service．
   From June to September，Kolkata gets heavy rain．Sometimes it rains for48 hours without a break．In some parts of the city，the roads flood （水淹），and anything with an engine（发动机） is useless，But the rickshawdrivers never stop working，even with water all around them．
   But not everyone thinks rickshaws are a good thing．The local governmentwant to ban rickshaws．They believe it is wrong for one man to pull another person when there is modern transportin the city．However，there is a problem with this plan．Many of the rickshawdrivers come from the countryside．The only job they can find in Kolkata is pullinga rickshaw，If the city bans rickshaws，these men won't have a job．So for the moment，the people of Kolkata still go by rickshaw．
