I moved to a new neighborhood two months ago. In the house with a large 16 across the road lived a taxi driver, a single parent with two school-age children. At the end of the day, he would 17 his taxi on the road. I 18 why he did not park it in the garage.
Then, one day I learnt that he had another car in his garage. In the afternoon he would e home 19 work, leave his taxi and go out for his 20 affairs in his other car, not in his taxi. I felt it was 21 .
I was curious to see his personal car but did not make it until I 22 to be outside one evening two weeks 23 , when the garage door was 24 and he drove out in his “own” car: a Rolls-Royce（劳斯莱斯）! It shook me pletely 25 I realized what that meant. You see, he was a taxi driver. But 26 inside, he saw himself as something else: a Rolls-Royce owner and a（n） 27 . He drove others in his taxi but himself and his children in his Rolls-Royce. The world looked at his taxi and 28 him a taxi driver. But for him, a taxi was just something he drove for a living. Rolls-Royce was something he drove for a（n） 29 .
We go to bed every night and 30 every morning as parents or children, not as bankers, CEOs or professors. We go for a 31 as close friends or go for a vacation as a 32 . We love life as it is. Yet often, we base our entire happiness and success on how high we 33 the social ladder(阶梯)—how much bigger and better a 34 we have. And we ignore(忽视)our Rolls-Royce, by keeping it dusty in our garage. We should focus more on 35 we are than what we do!
