Part 5
Read a story about John Croft. Then choose the correct phrase to complete each
sentence.

My name is John Croft. For almost thirty years, I worked as a


taxi driver for Downtown Taxi, the biggest cab company in
Vancouver, Canada. I drove my cab five days a week from 3:00
in the afternoon until around 11:30 or 12:00 at night. I took a lot
of businesspeople home after work. Vancouver is a big city, and
there were traffic jams every afternoon. Traffic was always the
worst from 4:30 until about 6:00, but it didn’t bother me.
Most passengers were nice enough. I liked to show tourists
our beautiful city. A lot of tourists from Asia visit Vancouver. In
the evening, I took people out to restaurants, clubs, and the
theater. It was interesting to see people dressed in their best
clothes for parties. The most interesting customer I had was a
man dressed as a bird!
My cab was always clean, and I always tried to be friendly. I
always helped people with their bags. The trip to the airport was usually my highest fare. Most passengers tipped
me 15% or 20%. Sometimes they just said, “Keep the change.” My largest tip ever was $100. I liked my job and
made a comfortable living. I don’t drive a taxi anymore—I’m retired. I have lots of free time, but sometimes I miss
meeting new people.

[a. large]
b. friendly
c. hard to work for

27. Traffic was the worst from _____.


a. 3:00 to 11:30
b. 8:00 to 10:00
