听力原文:Interviewer: Hello, Nancy. I know you are one of the few women taxi drivers in the city now and you drive for a living. What makes you want to become a taxi driver in the first place?
Nancy: I took pride I driving well even when I was young, for I had to wait until I had a car to learn to drive. When I finally learned, it was something I really enjoyed and still enjoy, I remember how smart those taxi drivers had seemed driving so well and dressed so nearly in their uniforms. And I thought I'd like to do that myself. You really enjoy driving, I see. And how long have you been a taxi driver?
N: Err.. . altogether 12 years.
I: It has been quite some time already, hasn't it ?
N: Yeah.
E Then, what did you find the most difficult about becoming a taxi driver?
N: I can still remember when I was learning to drive. It was scary. I did not yet know how to judge distance, and when a truck came near, it seemed like its wheel would just come right over mc. Anyway soon learned to judge distance. I began looking ahead, stopped worrying about the truck what was moving on either side.
I: What's the best part of your job?
N: I found that what I liked the best about this job was being outdoors, seeing how the city changes from season to season, and there are places I've seen that I would probably never have seen in another job. And I love all kinds of weather. I' d like to leave the window down in a fine rain. And the beautiful sceneries, you know...
