完形填空
I moved to a new neighborhood two months ago．In the house with a large 1 across the road lived a taxi driver, a single parent with two school-age children．At the end of the day, he would 2 his taxi on the road．I 3 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 come home 4 work, leave his taxi and go out for his 5 affairs in his other car, not in his taxi．I felt it was 6 ．
I was curious to see his personal car but did not make it until I 7 to be outside one evening two weeks 8 , when the garage door was 9 and he drove out in his “own” car：a Rolls-Royce(劳斯莱斯)! It shook me completely 10 I realized what that meant．You see, he was a taxi driver．But 11 inside, he saw himself as something else：a Rolls-Royce owner and a(n) 12 ．He drove others in his taxi but himself and his children in his Rolls-Royce．The world looked at his taxi and 13 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) 14 ．
We go to bed every night and 15 every morning as parents or children, not as bankers, CEOs or professors．We go for a 16 as close friends or go for a vacation as a 17 ．We love life as it is．Yet often, we base our entire happiness and success on how high we 18 the social ladder(阶梯)－how much bigger and better a 19 we have．And we ignore(忽视)our Rolls-Royce, by keeping it dusty in our garage．We should focus more on 20 we are than what we do!
