If the driver is a woman, she should not open the door for the passengers.（)

“When I’m on the road driving our taxi I feel very proud，because this is the first taxi service only for women,” says 31­year­old Shanti Sharma, who is one of eight female drivers with a taxi service called Cabs for Women by Women. The last couple of months, since the rape and murder in the city of a college student travelling on a bus, have been particularly busy for her and her colleagues. “After this case，our workload has increased so much,” says Sharma.“Women who used other cab services are also turning to us now.” Most women in Delhi say they routinely face harassment(骚扰), and worse, especially on public transport. Sharma, a single parent with three daughters, has been working as a taxi driver since 2011, when the service was first set up, and it has changed her life. This is the first time that she has earned enough—about 250 a month—to support her family. Of course, she and the other female taxi drivers are completely outnumbered by male cabbies.“When I park somewhere there are always men there and inevitably five or six of them get together and hang out, ” she says.“I’m usually the only woman in the parking lot, so I just stay inside the car.” It’s not much better when she is out on the road. Sharma says the male drivers give her a hard time.“As soon as they see a woman at the wheel they start honking(按喇叭) for no reason. They’ll try to overtake you. I’m always worrying about how to avoid getting hit by someone.” The company behind Cabs for Women by Women, Sakha Consulting Wings, had a number of goals when it set up the service .It wanted to give women from poor backgrounds an opportunity to earn money. By putting women in charge of technologies, it also wanted to change people’s attitudes, and open up boundaries for women. 21、The taxi service Cabs for Women by Women _____.

The driver looked at her but made no answer, so she repeated the question. To her surprise, he then closed the door, on her arm, and drove off. The woman, her arm stuck in the door, ran alongside the bus, shouting. Passengers said the driver stopped after almost a block only because they, too were shouting. When the driver finally did stop and open the door, the woman jumped on the bus to get his bus number. Then he took off again and went another couple of blocks before other shouting passengers persuaded him to stop and let the woman off. After the driver' s bossed at a tax-support governmental company(CTA) heard of the incident, they looked into it and set his punishment: a five-day suspension (停职) without pay. That struck me as rather light. But Bill Baxa, the company' s public-relation man, "That' s a pretty serious punishment. Five days off work is a serious punishment for dragging a woman alongside a bus by her arm？ Baxa said, "Any time you take money away from someone, it is a terrible punishment. The driver make $14 an hour. Multiply(乘)that by 40 and you can see that he lost." Yes, that come to $560, a good sum. But we know that people in the private company are fired for far less every day. If the people who run the bus company think that the loss of a week' s pay is more than enough, I offer them a sporting suggestion: Give me a bus. Then have their arms in the doorway of the bus, and I' 11 slam the door shut, shut the bus quickly and take them for a fast one block run. And I'll pay $560 to anyone who is bold enough to try it. Any takers？ Mr Baxa？ Anyone？ I didn't think so. The nurse half-entered one of the buses because ______. A．the bus they wanted didn't stop B．She wanted the driver to stop the bus C．She wanted to get some information from the driver D．She and her uncle couldn't wait any longer at the corner

One evening, the telephone rang while the old woman was preparing supper. She went to answer it. She was told that one of her sons died in a traffic accident. She heard this and fell in a faint(晕倒). When she came back to life, she was in hospital. And she needed to be helped after that. Several months later she was told on the telephone her daughter died while she was being operated on. The old woman was so sad that she had to be in hospital again. From then on she was afraid to answer any telephones and sometimes she was afraid to hear the bell. Of course it brought them some trouble and some important business was held up(耽误). So her husband advised her to see a psychiatrist(精神病医生). The man examined her carefully and then asked her some questions. "You'll soon be all right if you follow my advice, Mrs. Keller, "said the psychiatrist. The old woman took the medicine the doctor gave on time and tried to forget her dead son and daughter. And two months later she went to see the psychiatrist again. "You've saved me , Doctor , "the old woman said, as soon as she saw him. "Are you afraid to answer the telephones now？" "No," answered Mrs. Keller. "I dare(敢)answer it whether it rings or not!"

Why is it that so many mothers like mine think of themselves as second-class or something similar？ Where has this notion come from？ Have we males made them feel this way？ Has our society made "going to work" outside the home seem more important than what a house wife must face each day？ I would be very curious to see what would happen if a housewife went on strike. Dishes would pile up. Food in the house would run out. No meals would appear on the table. There would be no clean clothes when needed. High boots would be required just to make it through the house scattered with garbage. Walking and bus riding would increase. Those scout troops would have to break up. Charities would suffer. I doubt if the man of the house would be able to take over. Oh, he might start out with the attitude that he can do just as good a job, but how long would that last？ Not long, once he had to come home each night after work to more household duties. There would be no more coming home to a prepared meal; he'd have to fix it himself. The kids would all be screaming for something to eat, clean clothes and more bus fare money. Once he quieted the kids, he'd have to clean the house, go shopping, make sure that kids got a bath, and fix lunches for the next day. Once the kids were down for the night, he might be able to crawl into an unmade bed and, try to read the morning newspaper. No, I don't think many males are going to volunteer for the job. I know I don't want it. So, thanks, mom! I'll do what I can to create a national holiday for housewives. It could be appropriately called Wonder Woman Day. By what means do the children of the author's family go to school？ A．They take school bus. B．They take a taxi. C．Their mother drives for them. D．Scout troop sends them to school.
