　　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(临终医院)．I don't have any family left．The doctor says I don't have very long．"

　　I quietly reached over and shut off the meter (计价器)．For the next two hours, we drove through the city．She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl．

　　　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．"

　　My topic is fashion, and to make my talk more lively, I have brought along five objects．Fashion is important to all of us．Now we are all wearing school uniforms．When we go home, what do we do? We change into other clothes．If we are going out, we like to wear fashionable clothes．So my first object is this blouse．It looks beautiful, doesn't it? It is my most expensive piece of clothing, and I love it．It costs over $ 600．You may say that it is too expensive, but luckily I can pay for it．The more you spend, the better the quality is．So you see, fashion is quite important to me, I admit it．

　　However, I'm not as fond of fashion as my elder brother．Last summer, my parents took us both to London．They wanted to show us some fashion sights．But my brother Gary did not enjoy the old buildings．He just wanted to spend all his time in the big shopping malls, searching for the coolest pair of trousers! For him, fashion was more important than culture．These are the trousers he bought．Were they worth the cost of a trip to London to buy these? I don't think so．I think it was a waste, of time and money．

　　We must, however, remember that fashion is a very big business．Changes in fashion can create or lose jobs．As an example, I have brought this blonde wig (假发) to show you．Do you like it'? It belongs to one of my mother's friends．She told me that in the 1960s, it was fashionable for Western women to wear wigs．But a few years later fashions changed and women wore wigs much less often．Then the wig factories closed down and hundreds of workers lost their jobs．

　　In many countries around the world May l is a holiday．Labour Day, or Workers' Day, is an

　　international holiday that honours working men and women, and the jobs they do．

　　During the late 1880s, in many parts of the world, people worked for fourteen to sixteen hours a day in factories, and earned very little money．In the United States and Canada, working people got together to try to make their workplaces better．These groups of people formed unions (团体)．The union leaders asked company directors for shorter work days and higher salaries (工资) , but many of them refused to accept their ideas．

　　On May 1, 1886, men and women in the United States and Canada stopped work and marched through cities and towns to try and force bosses to let them work an eight － hour day．In the city of Chicago, several people died in fights with the police．Over the next few years, people in cities around the world stopped working every May l to honour workers everywhere．By the early twentieth century, the first of May was a national holiday in many countries．

　　In the United States and Canada, May l is not a holiday．North Americans celebrate Labour Day on the first Monday in September．Today in the Unites States, Labour Day is mostly about having fun．People enjoy a long weekend, and often celebrate by having barbecues or picnics with friends or family．In many parts of the Unites States, Labour Day is also the last day of summer vacation, and the students return to school the next day．

　　It was the last day of the final exam in a college(大学)．Outside the classroom, a group of students were waiting for the last exam．On their faces was confidence．

　　They knew the exam would be easy．The teacher said they could bring any books or notes during the test．

　　Right after they came into the classroom．The teacher handed out the papers．There were only five questions on it．

　　Three hours passed．Then the teacher began to collect the papers．The students no longer looked confident but they looked very nervous(紧张)．The teacher watched these worried(焦急的) faces, and then asked．“How many of you finished all five questions?” No one answered．“How many of you answered four?” Still no one put up the hand．“Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly(不安地)in their seats．“One, then? Certainly somebody finished one．” But the class kept silent(沉默)．The teacher said, “That is what I thought．I just want to make you know clearly that you finished four years of study, but there are still many things about the subject you don't know．These questions you could not answer are common(常见的) in everyday life．” Then, he smiled and said “You will all pass this exam, but it doesn't mean that you learned the subject well．There are still more things for you to learn in your later life．”

　　Now we can't remember the name of this teacher clearly, but we can't forget the lesson he taught us．
