One time in Brooklyn, I found a diamond ring in my cab. I remembered helping a lady with a lot of packages that day, so I went back to where I had dropped her. It took me almost two days to trace her down in order to return her ring to her. I didn’t get as much as “thank you”. Still I felt good because I had done what was right. I think I felt better than she did.

　　I was born and raised in Ireland and lived there until I was nineteen years old. Then I came to this country where I had a family and bought my own cab. Life hasn’t been too easy at times, but my wife takes care of our money and we have a good bit put away for a rainy day.

　　When I started driving a cab, Park Avenue was mostly a bunch of coal yards. Hoofer’s Brewery was right next to where the Waldorf-Astoria is now. I did pretty well, even in those days. In all my years of driving a taxicab, I have never had any trouble with the public, not even with drunks.

　　I believe honesty is one of the greatest gifts. I know they call it a lot of fancy names these days, like integrity (正直), etc. But it doesn’t make any difference what they call it; it’s still what makes a man a good citizen. This is my code, and I try to live by.

　　1. Why do people think taxicab drivers are bad according to the passage?

　　A. They have been cheated by taxicab drivers before.

　　B. Taxicab drivers are dishonest.
