The world of taxi drivers is dominated by men. But there is one small taxi company in Delhi，where all the drivers and passengers are female. Women’s safety is a hot topic in India at the moment, so it's proving a very popular service.
“When I’m on the road driving our taxi I feel very proud，because this is the first taxi service only for women,” says 31yearold Shanti Sharma, who is one of eight female drivers with a taxi service called Cabs for Women by Women.
The last couple of months, since the rape and murder in the city of a college student travelling on a bus, have been particularly busy for her and her colleagues.
“After this case，our workload has increased so much,” says Sharma.“Women who used other cab services are also turning to us now.”
Most women in Delhi say they routinely face harassment(骚扰), and worse, especially on public transport.
Sharma, a single parent with three daughters, has been working as a taxi driver since 2011, when the service was first set up, and it has changed her life. This is the first time that she has earned enough—about 250 a month—to support her family.
Of course, she and the other female taxi drivers are completely outnumbered by male cabbies.“When I park somewhere there are always men there and inevitably five or six of them get together and hang out, ” she says.“I’m usually the only woman in the parking lot, so I just stay inside the car.”
It’s not much better when she is out on the road. Sharma says the male drivers give her a hard time.“As soon as they see a woman at the wheel they start honking(按喇叭) for no reason. They’ll try to overtake you. I’m always worrying about how to avoid getting hit by someone.”
The company behind Cabs for Women by Women, Sakha Consulting Wings, had a number of goals when it set up the service .It wanted to give women from poor backgrounds an opportunity to earn money. By putting women in charge of technologies, it also wanted to change people’s attitudes, and open up boundaries for women.
21、The taxi service Cabs for Women by Women _____.
A、is greatly needed at present in India

A、Because it is cheap.
B、Because it is safe.

A、She is the first female taxi driver in Delhi.
B、She lives in harmony with her husband.
C、She has regretted becoming a taxi driver.
D、She has a better salary after becoming a taxi driver.

听力原文：M: It is good to have some company for the drive. It’s a long way to Edinburgh, and it’s very boring if you are on your own.
W: I’m really lucky you stopped and offered me a lift. I’ve been waiting for about two hours but no one seemed to be going my way.
M: Are you a student？
W: Yes, I’m a biology student in London University. I’m going up to Edinburgh for the festival, but it’s so expensive on the train that I decided to try and hitch a lift.
M: Well, you are lucky because I should have been going yesterday, but something happened to delay me so I postponed my trip until today.
W: Is it all right if I put my bag on the back seat？
M: Yes, of course.
W: It started to rain just as I left the house this morning and my clothes and shoes are wet through. Would you mind if I take off my shoes？
M: No, of course not. I don’t mind. Go ahead.
W: Thanks.
M: Oh, don’t forget to put your seat belt on! You can get fined nowadays, you know, for not wearing your seat belt.
W: Yes, sorry, I forgot. Could I open this window？
M: Well, I’d rather you don’t if you don’t mind. It gets very draughty when you open that window. But you can open the back window.
W: Is it all right if I go to sleep for a while？
M: Yes, of course. I’ll wake you up when we reach the next service station. I’ll need some coffee then.

英译中 Both language and culture are learned by children without special organized programs of instruction, but motivation to learn is very high since language is the most effective means for a child to obtain what he or she wants. If the learning of a new language begins before lower adolescence, one is likely to be able to speak such a language with complete naturalness, but if learned after upper adolescence some hangover of a mother-tongue feature is very likely to persist. But not only do languages exhibit such learning patterns, but so do cultural traits, for example, shaking hands, kissing, and embracing.
Although many persons assume that languages exist in dictionaries and grammars, in fact they only exist in people's heads. But this is equally true of cultural traits, which indicate clearly a they only exist in people's heads. But this is equally true of cultural traits, which indicate clearly a person's value system when crucial decisions need to be made before there is any time to think about alternatives, for example, diving into a flooding stream to rescue a drowning child.
