最近在群中看到了这篇感人的文章《The cab driver I’ll never forget》，看到大概的内容，我就想起有一年的高考听说考试故事复述考过。刚才查了一下，原来是2017年B套题。

A Taxi Ride

Tom was a taxi driver. One day, he picked up a passenger at midnight, who was an old lady in her eighties. Taking her suitcase, Tom assisted her to walk slowly towards the taxi. When they got in the taxi, the lady asked Tom to take her to the airport and requested him to drive through downtown. Tom immediately told her that it was not the shortest way. But the lady said she was not in a hurry, because her flight was in the morning. She told Tom that she had been living her entire life in this city, but she was moving abroad to live with her children and not coming back. Hearing her words, Tom started the car without saying anything. For the next several hours, they drove through the city. She showed Tom the places which meant a lot to her, like the church where she got married and the factory where she used to work. At dawn, she finally said, “Let’s go now.” Then they drove in silence to the airport. When they arrived there, Tom gave her a hug. The lady held onto him tightly and said, “Thank you. You gave an old lady a little moment of joy.”
