All the cabbie Had Was a Letter1He must have been completely lost in something he was reading because I had to tap on the windshield to get his attention.2“Is your cab available?” I asked when he finally looked up at me. He nodded, then said apologetically as I settled into the back seat, “I’m sorry, but I was reading a letter.” He sounded as if he had a cold or something.3“I’m in no hurry,” I told him. “Go ahead and finish your letter.”4He shook his head. “I’ve read it several times already. I guess I almost know it by heart.”5“Letters from home always mean a lot,” I said. “At least they do with me because I’m on the road so much.”Then, estimating that he was 60 or 70 years old, I guessed:”From a child or maybe a grandchild?”6“This isn’t a family,” he replied. “Although,” he went on, “come to think of it, it might just as well have been family. Old Ed was my oldest friend. In fact, we used to call each other ‘Old Friend’—when we’d meet, that is. I’m not much of a hand at writing.”7“I don’t think any of us keep up our correspondence too well,” I said. “I know I don’t. But I take it he’s someone you’ve known quite a while?”8“All my life, practically. We were kids together, so we go way back.”9“Went to school together?”10“All the way through high school. We were in the same class, in fact, through both grade and high school.”11“There are not too many people who’ve had such a long friendship,” I said.12“Actually,” the driver went on, “I hadn’t seen him more than once or twice a year over the past 25 or 30 years because I moved away from the old neighborhood and you kind of lose touch even though you never forget. He was a great guy.”13“You said ‘was’. Dose that mean--?”14He nodded. “Died a couple of weeks ago.”15“I’m sorry,” I said. “It’s no fun to lose any friend—and losing a real old one is even tougher.”16He didn’t reply to that, and we rode on in silence for a few minutes. But I realized that Old Ed was still on his mind when he spoke again, almost to himself than to me: “I should have kept in touch.”17“Well,” I agreed, “We should all keep in touch with old friends more than we do. But things come up and we just don’t seem to find the time.”18He shrugged. “We used to find the time,” he said. “That’s even mentioned in the letter.” He handed it over to me. “Take a look.”19“Thanks,” I said, “but I don’t want to read your mail. That’s pretty personal.”20The driver shrugged. “Old Ed’s dead. There’s nothing personal now. Go ahead,” he urged me. 21The letter was written in pencil. It began with the greeting “Old Friend,”and the first sentence remained me of myself. I’ve been meaning to write for some time, but I’ve always postponed it. It then went on to say that he often thought about the good times they had had together when they both live in the same neighborhood. It had references to things that probably meant to something to the driver, such as the time Tim Shea broke the window, the Halloween that we tied Old Mr. Parker’s gate, and when Mrs. Culver used to keep us after school.22“You must have spent a lot of time together,” I said to him.23“Like it says there,” he answered, “about all we have to spend in those days was time.” He shook his head: “Time.”24I thought the next paragraph of the letter was a little sad: I began the letter with “Old Friend”because that we’ve become over the years—old friends. And there aren’t many of us left.25“You know,”I said to him, “when it says here that there aren’t many of us left, that’s absolutely right. Every time I go to a class reunion, for example, there are fewer and fewer still around.”26“Time goes by,” the driver said.27“Did you two work at the same place?” I asked him.28“No, but we hung out on the same corner when we were single. And then, when we were married, we used to go to each other’s house every now and then. But for the last 20 or 30 years it’s been mostly just Christmas cards. Of course there’d be always be a note we’d each add to the cards—usually some news about our families, you know, what the kid was doing, who moved where, a new grandchild, things like that—but never a real letter or anything like that.”29“This is a good part here,” I said. “Where it says your friendship over the years has meant an awful lot to me, more than I can say because I’m not good at saying things like that.”I found myself nodding in agreement. “That must have made you feel good, didn’t it?”30The driver said something that I couldn’t understand because he seemed to be all choked up, so I continued: “I known I’d like to receive a letter like that from my oldest friend.”31We were getting close to our destination so I skipped to the last paragraph. So I thought you’d like to know that I was thinking of you. And it was signed, Your Old Friend, Tom.32I handed back the letter as we stopped at my hotel. “Enjoyed talking with you,” I said as I took my suitcase out of the cab. Tom? The letter was signed Tom?33“I thought your friend’s name was Ed，” I said. “Why did he sign it Tom?”34“The letter was not from Ed to me,”he explained. “I’m Tom. It’s a letter I wrote to him before I knew he’d died. So I never mailed it.”35He looked sort of sorrowful, or as if he were trying to see something in the distance. “I guessI should have writer it sooner.”36 When I got to my hotel room I didn’t unpack right away. First I had write a letter—and mail it.。

For each blank you needof money onor spendingThey offer usInstead ofThey are, andmuch pretendpeople.B. Listen again and complete the following chart, which shows theTapescriptFrom Television Back to GamesIn a society where nobody is so fortunate as to be able to spend a lot of money on entertainment, most of us end up with either in front of a television or spending time with our family and friends playing a game of some kind. While television is probably the most popular form of home entertainment, there is a small group of us who still believe board games offer the most enjoyment. They offer us a variety of ways to learn new information, to test our skills, and most importantly, to bring us together.Television is one of our best sources of information, but a lot of times it is not the kind of information that you want or need. The commercials for instance always insult your intelligence. On the other hand, board games are set up to offer a variety of information, which can cover subjects such as geography, vocabulary, or financial investment. All of this information is offered in a way that makes you want to learn and lets you choose what you learn. I have acquired more information about history, geography, and science from “Trivial Pursuit” alone than I have ever been able to get from the boring way they are presented on television.Added to the benefits of learning new information, board games test your skills and knowledge with a particular outcome ahead. They let you use your ideas and strategies to win the game. Whether you are trying to get your opponent’s king inchess or trying to ma ke the most money in “Trump,” there is an outcome which you brought about with these ideas and strategies. However, you are forced to become a passive spectator when watching television. In some cases a program might be produced to stimulate your thought processes, but it doesn't offer you an outlet for following through with your ideas, such as the useless concept of the game show for entertainment.Still the most important difference between television and the board game is the interaction with others. Getting the family together to watch a show on television is nice; that is, if you can find a show on for the whole family. But playing a board game gives you the chance to learn, not only about the subject, but also about each other. Everyone is different, with their own views and unique ways of handling situations, giving each game a different outcome. One of the nicest parties I ever attended was one where we played a murder-mystery game called “How to Host a Murder.” We never knew what to expect next, and it was a wonderful way to get to know everyoneInstead of watching television all the time, people are finding that board games give us the outlet to test our skills and knowledge against each other. They are putting their remote controls away and giving up their “Executive Couch Potato” status, and gathering around the kitchen table for an exciting game. I would much rather pretend that I’m a millionaire, playing for the high stakes, rather than watch someone else on a glass tube pretending to be one. It’s more exciting, less expensive, and best of all, I spend the time with real and interesting people.。
