IV. Read the text and answer the questions below based on it.

Mr. Lee is a bus driver that lives in Boston but works in New York. Every day he gets
up at 7:00 a.m. and prepares for his day. He takes a shower, has his breakfast, and
puts on his brown uniform. His wife drives him to the station where he checks in with
his supervisor. Then, he gets on Bus #405 and begins his route. At his first stop, he
picks up Mrs. Miller. She lives in a red house on the corner of Main Street and
Seventh Avenue. She works at the post office and has to be at work by 9:00. At the
next stop, the Bartlett brothers get on the bus. They study at Bayside Elementary.
More children get on the bus at the next three stops, and they ride until the bus
reaches their school. Mr. Lee likes to see the kids every day and is happy to see them
again in the afternoon when he drives them safely back home.
