A] It was 7 a.m. in Kyoto, Japan, and the taxi company had just called a second time to say they couldn' t find my house. Once again I spelt out directions even a blind person could follow, I glanced impatiently at my watch, and waited. Only two hours remained until my flight left and it was an hourand-a-half trip to the airport. Outside, heavy rains were pouring down. My house was so far north in the city that buses pass only three times a day. The telephone rang again. "Terribly sorry," began the man at the taxi company. Then I rea-lized that the taxi company, flooded with calls, could only offer in-city runs. I had heard this happens when the weather gets bad. I shouted into the phone that I had a plane to catch and I would meet the taxi outside my house. Standing in the wind-driven rain, I looked up and down the road. No taxi. A] car went by, driver and passenger staring at the crazy foreigner in the downpour. Finally a white car appeared and pulled to a stop. A] young man threw open the door, waving for me to get in. Shaking with cold and anger, I climbed in. In the most polite Japanese, the man said he was called Mike, with whom I had spoken three times that morning. He had left his post in the office and raced here in his personal car. He apologized again, but did not explain why a taxi would not pick me up. D]elivering me straight to the airport, he refused the 2000 yen I pressed into his hand. A] few hours later, as the storm-delayed 727 took off, I opened the newspaper. On the second page my eyes caught the headline of a short article:" Taxi Strike B]egins This Morning in Kyoto." 56. Why did the writer call a taxi early in the morning? [A] A] ] There were few taxis in town. [A] B] ] He was unable to find the airport. [A] C] ] He wanted to catch a plane. [A] D] ] A]ll the buses stopped because of the rain. 57. What was the reason for the taxi company not being able to pick him up? [A] [A] [A] [A] A] ] The taxi drivers refused to work. B] ] The writer didn' t give the correct address. C] ] More people were riding in taxis on rainy days. D] ] The taxi drivers didn' t like to drive long distance. 58. The writer got to the airport . [A] A] ] by getting a lift in a passing car [A] B] ] with the help of Mike from the post office [A] C] ] by riding in Mike' s car from the taxi company [A] D] ] with the help of a taxi driver sent by his company 59. We can learn from the text that the driver is . [A] A] ] quick-minded at taking actions [A] B] ] warm-hearted toward people [A] C] ] unfamiliar with the road [A] D] ] a self-employed driver B] She once said:"When people ask me if writing has been a hard or easy road I always answer with the famous saying, "the end is nothing; the road is all. ' That is what I mean when I say writing has been a pleasure. I have never faced the type-writer(A 打字 机) with the thought that one more task had to be done. " Like most writers, Willa C]ather did not write books for the money that they brought her, but rather for the pleasure that came in their writing. Her works
