問題詳情:
Once, I met a taxi driver, a man in his late 30s, who picked me up and drove me to my destination. As we 36 along the road, I asked him how his business was. He told me 37 his business was just fine, but the cost of gas was really hurting his bottom line. We then 38 a spirited discussion and got around to discussing the job environment.
He told me that he had difficulty getting another type of work because of his 39 .”I am a former criminal," he said 40 ,"People look at my record and then I'm done," he complained.“I know I messed up but I've turned my life 41 and have been clean for several years", he went on to explain quietly and without 42. “It is never 43 to start a new life, "I said,¨ 44 the critical thing is that you are starting and that you have options." The driver seemed to be 45_ _as he looked back at me from the front seat. "Like what kind of options?" He asked. “If you don't want to drive a taxi for the rest of your life, then you can make a 46 to go back to school, even part-time, so you can 47_ for a trade or some other occupation you are interested in." I replied.
Later, as I said goodbye to the driver, I felt a moment of pain for him. But, at the same time, the driver is like a lot of other people I have met over the years----only 48 is that they are not former criminals. They are still in a type of prison each day of the week. These are people who already have good jobs and good reputations but are totally 49 with their lives. The daily 50 they go to is one where work is 51 ,where each day is full of worry wishing for something better. This is a prison of the 52 .
If these words 53 your daily life, know that there is always an opportunity to 54
