3 B.1
 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.

36) Most customers tipped John……………….

A 10%. B $200. C 15% or 20%.
37) The company John Croft worked for was……………….
A Hard to work for. B Friendly. C Large.
38) What John Croft misses about his job is……………….
A Meeting people. B Getting tips. C Having something to do.
39) Traffic was the worst from……………….
A 3:00 to 11:30. B 8:00 to 10:00. C 4:30 until about 6:00.
