閱讀理解

　　In a moment of personal crisis, how much help can you expect from a New York taxi driver? I began studying this question and found the answers interesting．

　　One morning I got into three different taxis and announced, “Well, it’s my first day back in New York in seven years．I’ve been in prison．” Not a single driver replied, so I tried again．“Yeah, I shot a man in Reno．” I explained, hoping the driver would ask me why, but nobody asked．The only response came from a Ghanaian driver, “Reno? That is in Nevada?”

　　Taxi drivers were uniformly sympathetic when I said I’d just been fired．“This is America,” a Haitian driver said．“One door is closed．Another is open．” He argued against my plan to burn down my boss’s house．A Pakistani driver even turned down a chance to profit from my loss of hope; he refused to take me to the middle of George Washington Bridge－a ＄20 trip．“Why you want to go there? Go home and relax．Don’t worry．Take a new job．”

　　One very hot weekday in July, while wearing a red ski mask and holding a stuffed pillowcase with the word “BANK” on it, I tried calling a taxi five times outside different banks．The driver picked me up every time．My ride with a Haitian driver was typical of the superb assistance I received．

　　“Let’s go across the park．” I said．“I just robbed the bank there．I got ＄25,000．”

　　“＄25,000?” He asked．

　　“Yeah, you think it was wrong to take it?”

　　“No, man．I work 8 hours and I don’t make almost ＄70．If I can do that, I do it too．”

　　As we approached 86th and Lexington, I pointed to the Chemical Bank．

　　“Hey, there’s another bank,” I said, “Could you wait here a minute while I go inside?”

　　“No, I can’t wait．Pay me now．” His reluctance may have something to do with money－taxi drivers think the rate for waiting time is too low－but I think he wanted me to learn that even a bank robber can’t expect unconditional support．

(1)

From the Ghanaian driver’s response, we can infer that _________．

[　　]

A．

he was indifferent to the killing

B．

he was afraid of the author

C．

he looked down upon the author

D．

he thought the author was crazy

(2)

Why did the Pakistani driver refuse to take the author to the middle of the George Washington Bridge?

[　　]

A．

Because he was able to help the author to find a new job．

B．

Because he wanted to go home and relax．

C．

Because it was far away from his home．

D．

Because he thought that the author would commit suicide．

(3)

What is the author’s interpretation of the driver’s reluctance “to wait outside the Chemical bank”?

[　　]

A．

The driver thought that the rate for waiting time was too low．

B．

The driver thought it wrong to support a taxi rider unconditionally．

C．

The driver was frightened and wanted to leave him as soon as possible．

D．

The driver did not want to help a suspect to escape from a bank robbery．

(4)

Which of the following statements is true about New York taxi drivers?

[　　]

A．

They are ready to help you do whatever you want to．

B．

they often refuse to pick up those who would kill themselves．

C．

They are sympathetic with those who are out of work．

D．

They work only for money．

(5)

The passage mainly discusses _________．

[　　]

A．

how to please taxi drivers．

B．

how to deal with taxi drivers

C．

the attitudes of taxi drivers towards riders in personal trouble

D．

the attitudes of taxi drivers towards troublesome taxi riders
