Taxicab drivers have to be tough fellows to be able to work in New York. You ve got to fight the New York traffic eight hours a day these days, so people get the wrong impression that they are bad. Actually, taxi drivers are just like other people. Most of them will behave as honest fellows. You read in the papers almost every week that a taxi driver turns in money or jewels that people leave in their cabs. If they weren t honest, you wouldn readingtbtheose stories in the papers. One time in Brooklyn, I found a diamond ring in my cab. I remembered helping a lady with a lot of packages that day, so I went back to where I had dropped her. It took me almost two days to trace her down in order to return her ring to her. I didn t get as much as “thank you ”. I felt good because I had done what ever was right. I think I felt better than she did. I was born and raised in Ireland and lived there until I was nineteen years old. Then I came to this country where I had a family and bought my own cab. Life hasn t been too easy at times, but my wife takes care of our money and we have a good bit put away for a rainy day. When I started driving a cab, Park Avenue was mostly a bunch of coal yards. Hoofer sBrewery was right next to where the Waldorf-Astoria is now. I did pretty well, even in those days. In all my years of driving a taxicab, I have never had any trouble with the public, not even with drunks. I believe honesty is one of the greatest gifts. I know they call it a lot of fancy names these days, like integrity （正直 ）, etc. But it doesn t make any difference whatever they call it; it s still what makes a man a good citizen. This is my code, and I try to live by. 【文章大意】 本文讲述的是一名出租车司机一直相信诚实是一 件最棒的礼物，并且
