21、 After a few moments, my passenger started a conversation. It began ordinarily enough, “How do you like driving a cab?”
“It’s OK,” I said. “I make a living and meet interesting people sometimes. How about you?” However, his reply intrigued me.
“I would not change jobs even if I could make twice as much money by doing something else.”
I’d never heard that before. “What do you do?”
“I’m in the neurology (神经学) department at New York Hospital.”
Then I decided to ask for this man’s help. We were not far from the airport.
“Could I ask you a big favor? I have a son, 15, a good kid. He wants a part-time job, but a 15-year-old can’t get hired easily. Is there any possibility that you could get him some kind of summer job?”
He didn't respond for a while. Finally, he said, “Well, the medical students have a summer research project. Maybe he could fit in. Have him send me his school record.” I tore off a piece of my brown lunch bag, and he wrote his name and number on it and paid me. It was the last time I had ever seen him.
After I nagged (唠叨), yelled, and finally threatened to cut off his pocket money, my son Robert sent off his grades to the guy the next morning.
Two weeks later, when I arrived home from work, my son was excited. He handed me a letter from my passenger, saying he was to call my passenger’s secretary for an interview.
Robert got the job. He did minor tasks, unpaid, but he fitted in well. The following summer, he worked at the hospital again with more responsibility. As high school graduation neared, Dr Plum was kind enough to write letters of recommendation for Robert and he was accepted by Brown University. Finally, Dr Robert Stern, the son of a taxicab driver, became the chief resident (首席住院医师) at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center.
Some might call it fate, and I guess it is. But it shows that something as ordinary as a taxi ride can change your life.

22、 When my mother died, I was cooking.
One weekend, my husband suggested we cook together. I’d spoken to my mother earlier that day on the phone. I’d told her about our life. She yawned and we said goodbye to one another.
I didn’t know then what I would know 16 hours later. I hadn’t even asked how she was doing. My mother died.
My mother was my best friend. After she died, I felt so lonely. The only person I wanted to talk to about my grief was my mother. The only person who could help me was the one who was missing, however much love and support people gave me.
My mother gave me many things, but an education in cookery was not one of them. She liked eating more than cooking.
But she had learned to cook when she was a teenager and she had some brilliant recipes (食谱).
I know everyone says this, but my mother made the best roast beef dinners in the world. And, above all, fish pie! Almost every week, she would buy a prepared fish pie. Then she would bring it home and make her own white sauce (沙司).
My mother never got around to teaching me how to make a white sauce—and I never got around to asking her. Now that she was gone, I would have to teach myself.
So this became my focus. For the first few weeks, I managed to live on instant foods. But one night, a fish pie mix caught my eye at the store.
When I got home, I set myself in front of our electric stove. Armed with a recipe, I tried to teach myself to make a white sauce.
Halfway through the recipe, I couldn’t believe it—I’d made a white sauce! On my own! I could do this! Then I remembered: I had always hated fish pie.
Admiring my sauce, I wondered why I was so committed to making a dish I had hated for 25 years. Why was it suddenly so important to me?
I spooned the sauce over the fish. Then I ate the pie. It was delicious. More importantly, something strange had happened. The act of making a meal had calmed me.
It helped me find peace.

23、 You probably have heard of many famous people like Marie Curie, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?
Jane Addams(1860-1935)
Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addans helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need . In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Rachel Carson(1907-1964)

Sandra Day O'Connor(1930-present)
When Sandra Day O'Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman.

Rosa Parks(1913-2005)
On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rasa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott.

24、Four famous British film locations
American and Canadian visitors to Britain are usually never quite as interested in film sites as British tourism folks seem to expect. For classic film lovers, however, Britain hardly lacks memorable film locations. Here is a great selection of recognizable locations from some of our favorite films.
Castle Howard, Yorkshire
Brideshead Revisited put Castle Howard on the map. The Yorkshire estate is a wonderful visit, virtually unchanged since the filming of Evelyn Waugh’s classic there in 1980. You can easily see Charles Ryder and Sebastian Flyte rowing on the lake. It’s an easy drive, or bus ride, east from York.
Cambridge, Cambridgeshire
There are many scenes from Cambridge recognizable from the Academy Award-winning Chariots of Fire. Perhaps none are as memorable as the race Harold Abrahams and Lord Lynley run against the clock around Trinity College Great Court. Visit Gonville& Caius College and King’s College Chapel as well.
Dorchester, Dorset
So much of the surrounding countryside is recognizable as “Thomas Hardy country”. Dorchester itself, though, is Casterbridge played out in The Mayor of Casterbridge, Tess of the D’Urbervilles, and Far from the Madding Crowd. You almost expect to see Alan Bates or Julie Christie walking along Corn Street.
Castle Combe, Wiltshire
Long termed “the prettiest village in England”, Castle Combe just might be. The southern Cotswold village near Chippenham has been a film setmany times, perhaps most famously with Rex Harrison in Doctor Doolittle (1967).
【1】Who is one character of Evelyn Waugh’s work?
A．Sebastian Flyte.
B．Julie Christie.
C．Harold Abrahams.
D．Rex Harrison.
【2】What makes Dorchester famous?
