Answer 1

本文是一篇介绍伦敦出租车司机的文章。

1. C第一句讲的是在公路上行驶，那么我们就应该寻找与"公路"有联系的选项。

2. D后文说在伦敦驾驶不易，那么很容易能选择D项。

3. F 下文是该司机对于其工作的陈述，故选F

项。

4. E后文"There are times he has to stay longer and try to make more runs.'，说的是营运时间，所以得出选项E正确。

5. A根据"the children go home again—by taxi,and free of charge,of course！”可知，伦敦出租车司机还会有时无偿提供服务，所以A是正确选项。
