14．Twenty years ago，I drove a taxi for a living．One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2：30AM．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 pause，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 toward 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（臨終醫(yī)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（計價器）．
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 to 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 e tightly．Our hug ended with her remark，"You gave an old woman a little moment of joy．"

23．The old woman chose to ride through the city in order toB．

4．Muzak
The next time you go into a bank，a store，or a supermarket，stop and listen．What do you hear？（66）CIt's similar to the music you listen to，but it's not exactly the same．That's because this music was especially designed to relax you，or to give you extra energy．Sometimes you don't even realize the music is playing，but you react to the music anyway．

I believed that I was right and he was wrong-and he was sure that I was wrong and he was right．The teacher decided to teach us a very important lesson．
She brought us up to the front of the class and placed him on one side of her desk and me on the other．In the middle of her desk was a large，round object．I could clearly see that it was black．She asked the boy what color the object was．"White，"he answered．
I couldn't believe he said the object was white，when it was obviously black!Another argument started between my classmate and me．Seeing this，the teacher told us to change places，and this time I found the object was white．

Do you know what makes people successful？To find out the answers，an American reporter recently visited some of the most successful people around the world．（36）G
Be responsible for yourself
     Sometimes you may want to blame others for your failure to get ahead．In fact，when you say someone or something outside of yourself is stopping you from making success，you're giving away your own power．（37）D
Write a plan．
It's very difficult to try to get what you want without a good plan．It's just like trying to drive through strange roads to a city far away．（38）AWithout this"map"，you may waste your time，money and also your energy； while with the"map"，you will enjoy the"trip"and get what you want in the shortest possible time．
