New York City Taxi Driver

A. Reading (ler o texto, em seguida responder as atividades abaixo)

Marty drives a taxi in New York City. He works six days a week from 5:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. He doesn’t always eat when he’s hungry or go to the restroom when he needs to go.
Driving a taxi is difficult. Traffic in the city is often slow and there are many accidents and construction sites drivers have to go around. Driving a taxi is also dangerous. When it rains or snows the roads are slippery. Sometimes criminals steal the taxi driver’s money. Most of Marty’s passengers are nice. They tip him twenty percent of the taxi fare. Marty likes his job, but lately he’s been feeling tired from working twelve hour shifts. Many of his passengers are tourists, and they like to talk a lot. Unfortunately, Marty is seldom in the mood to talk anymore. It’s hard to be friendly every day.
