I still remember a embarrassing experience last month. That day, I was overslept. I was running around my apartment quickly because there was something scarier for me than be late for work. I called a taxi, put on a dress, put all the necessary things into my bags, and closed it without even looking into it. Then I took my wallet, and run out. It didn't take much time to get to work because I was hurrying the driver at every traffic light. At last, I was in the office. Surprising, when I opened my bag, I saw the 2 yellow or scared eyes of my cat looking me. She seemed to be just as shocking as I was.

While it may seem that a cab driver has only one responsibility—to drive customers to and from certain destinations, this is not the case. Instead, a cab driver must be ready to take on a number of different tasks. 1. Taxis have been around in various forms for many centuries, and the many duties of a cab driver increase as time goes on.2. Not only do cab drivers have to pick up all kinds of people, but many of them have to interact with their customers. Frequently, cab drivers are hired by tourists or business people for an entire day, and this can mean making unavoidable contact with different people with different personalities.
Taxi drivers must also be able to operate different types of vehicles. 3.The vehicles have ramps (斜面) that can be raised and lowered. This type of vehicle requires a special license that most cab drivers must get before obtaining a position as a taxi driver.
Generally, cab drivers are not required to repair vehicles. 4. For example, almost all taxi drivers know how to change tires（轮胎）, lights, and other small vehicle parts. Many drivers are also responsible for checking the taxi on a regular basis.
Perhaps the most important task that a cab driver must be aware of is how to charge a customer for each trip. While the prices of some trips have been predetermined（商定）, such as airport fares, other trips must be calculated using taximeters（计价器） and fee charts. 5.
A. One of them is cleaning the inside of cabs.
B. Being a taxi driver can be emotionally rewarding.
C. A cab driver must have excellent communication skills.
D. There are some taxis specially made for disabled people.
E. However, some drivers may be asked to make small repairs.
F. These prices must be calculated before the driver sets off on the trip.
G. Taxi drivers should have a basic knowledge of a country ’s spoken language.
