Do you know what kind of things the young people are reading? More and more  36  and parents have noticed another kind of pollution, which comes from the printed papers  37  on streets.

　　These printed things 38  newspapers but have hardly anything to do with 39 . You can only find reading materials badly made up there---some are too strange for anyone to 40 ,  others are frightening stories of something  41  .However, many of the young readers are getting interested in such  42  reading, which  43  them what they should pay for their breakfast and brings them nightmares（噩梦）and immoral（邪恶）ideas in  44 .  Homework is left  45 ,  and daily games are lost.

　　These sellers shout on streets selling their papers well. The writers, publishers and printers,  46  they are, we never know,  are  47  their silent money.

The sheep-skinned wolf's story seems to have been forgotten once again .Why not 48  this kind of thing? Yes, both teachers and parents have asked each other for more strict control of the young readers.  49  ,the more you want to forbid it, the more they want to have a look at it.  50  you may even find  several children, driven by the curious natures,  51  one patched paper,  which has travelled from hand to hand.

　　It really does 52  to our society. It has already formed a sort of moral pollution. The  53  teachers and parents need more powerful support in their protection of the young generation. At the same time the young  54  need more interesting books to help them  55  those ugly papers.

I believe being honest is one of the greatest gifts. I know they call it a lot of fancy names these days，like 　36　and straightforward. And it’s still what 37 a man a good citizen. This is my code(准则)，and I try to live by.

I’ve been in the taxi business for thirty-five years， 38　 there is a lot about it that is not so good. Taxi drivers have to be rough fellows to be able to take it in New York. You've got to be 39 to fight the New York traffic eight hours a day.

Because taxi drivers are tough，people get the 40 impression that they are bad. Taxi drivers are just like other people. Most of them will act as 41 fellows. Almost every week you read in the papers where a taxi driver 42 money or jewels or like that people leave in their 43 . If they weren't honest，you wouldn't be reading those stories in the papers. One time，I found an emerald（翡翠的）ring in my car. I remembered helping a lady with a lot of suitcases that day，so I went back to where I had 44 her off. It took me almost two days to wait for her in order to return her 45 to her. I didn't get as much as “thank you.” 46 ，I felt good because I had done what was right. I think I felt better than she 　47 .

I was born and brought up in Ireland until I was nineteen years old. I came to this country in 1913 where I 48 several jobs to earn a few dollars before joining the army in World War I. After being discharged(退伍), I bought my own car and have owned one ever since. It hasn’t been too easy 49 , but my wife takes care of our money and we have a good bit 50 for a rainy day(一时之需). In all my years of driving a taxi，I have never had 51 with the public，not even with drunks. Even if they get a little headstrong(顽固的) once in a while，I just agree with them and then they behave themselves.

People ask me about tips. As far as I know， 52 everyone will give you something，because most Americans are 53 generous. I always try to be nice to everyone，whether they 54 or not. I believe in God and try to be a good member of my parish(教区). I try to act toward others like I think God wants me to act. I have been trying this for a long time，and the 55 I try，the easier it gets.

For most of my 15 years, my father usually said very little to my mother and me. He 　21

reading the newspaper or 22 football matches on television to talking to his family.

Everything 　23 one morning. As soon as I came downstairs to breakfast, I could see that he wasn’t his 　24 reserved self. “Can’t wait! FIFA World Cup! Big match! Must see!” I quickly figured out what all the 　25 was about: Dad is a big football fan.

I had never been interested in football, 　26 Dad’s excitement that morning made me more and more curious. I had to 　27 why this sport was making my normally reserved father act like a five-year-old on his first 　28 to Disneyland.　　

Dad decided that we should all eat at a little German restaurant so that we 　29 watch the World Cup while eating. Secretly, I think he was hoping to 　30 Mum and me into football fans.

The match started a few 　31 after we entered the restaurant. As I was eating my meal, a loud noise came from the television. 　32 , I looked up at the TV: “Why is that man jumping up and down?” Dad 　33 explained: “That’s Papa Bouba Diop, my son. It’s normal for them to jump up and down after they’ve scored.”

Dad 　34 almost everything to me. His monosyllabic（单音节的）answers were a thing of the past. I loved the 　35 Dad! I watched the rest of the match, becoming more and more

36 . When I told my father that I planned to watch 　37 matches with him, he smiled and gave me a wink（眨眼）. At long last we had something in 　38 .

39 has really helped Dad and me get closer and 　40 a stronger relationship with each other. Who says football is only about 22 men running after a silly ball?
