A new taxi service in Stockholm is offering its passengers a chance to relieve stress on the go. They’ve got psychotherapists occupying the back seats of the taxis, offering free consultations. The test was started by a company called Taxi Stockholm, which claims it’s the first project of its kind in the world.The idea was formed when the owners of Taxi Stockholm realized that people are more likely to talk about their problems on boring, quiet drives. They even have data to back up the theory; according to spokeswoman Natalia Santos, around 70 percent of people said their taxi journeys were a good time for reflection and that they often found their minds wandering.“And when you think about it, the drivers can even become like therapists,” she added.Mia Fahlén, one of the psychologists on board, said that she would have to be flexible, becauseshe wouldn’t know exactly how long a trip could be. But she believes that a lot could be accomplished from even a short 10-minute journey. “A lot of people are lonely,” she explained. “There are so many single people in Stockholm. And a lot of the people I meet from abroad tell methey’re frustrated with Sweden. They say it’s really hard to meet people and that even when they try, the Swedes can be very quiet.”Of course, yo u’d not have to be lucky to catch these taxis, but if you’re really excited about the idea, you could book a trip in advance.

I moved around the house purposelessly trying to decide what to put into the suitcases(行李箱). Earlier that evening, I'd received a call telling me that my brother was killed in acar crash. “Come as soon as you can,”cried my mother.I wanted to hurry to her at once. But my husband, Larry, and I were packing to move from New York to Seattle. Our house was in total mess. Supper dishes sat on the kitchen table. Toys lay everywhere. I purposelessly picked things up and put them down. Mother's crying went through my head again and again.Larry called some friends to tell them what had happened. Someone asked to speak to me. “If there's anything I can do, let me know.”But I didn't know what to ask for.Suddenly, the doorbell rang. It was Emerson. He and his wife Donna lived in the block nearby.“I've come to clean your shoes,”he said.I asked him to repeat.“Donna had to stay with the baby,”he said, “but we want to help you. I remember when my father died, it took me hours to clean our shoes for the funeral(葬礼). Give me all your shoes.”I gathered all our dirty shoes to the kitchen. Emerson got to work right away. Watching him devoting himself to one task helped me pull my own thoughts into order. I told myself to wash clothes first. Then, Larry and I bathed the children and put them to bed. One job after another.When we returned to clear the dishes, Emerson had left. All our shoes stood in a line against the wall, clean, shining. I couldn't help crying. Early next morning, we left for the airport with all the jobs done.Now whenever I hear of a friend who's lost a loved one, I no longer call with the polite offer, “If there's anything I can do…”Instead I try to think of one specific task that suits that man's need, like taking the dog to the boarding kennel, or house-sitting during the funeral. If the person asks, “How did you know I needed that done?”I reply, “Because a man once cleaned my shoes.”1.The writer didn't know what to put into the suitcases because .A.she couldn't do it on her ownB.she was too sad to do anythingC.she wanted to take everything to SeattleD.she was not good at housework2.Here's a time line of what happened in the story.The writer's brother was killed in a car crash.→→The writer washed the clothes.→They left for the airport.Which of the events should go in the empty box above?A.Emerson came to clean the shoes.B.The couple bathed the children.C.They cleared the supper dishes.D.The writer found the shoes cleaned.3.If one of her friends has lost a loved one, what will the writer probably NOT do?A.Call her friend to ask what she can do.B.Look after her friend's young children.C.Take her friend's dog to the boarding kennel.D.Offer her friend house-sitting during the funeral.4.Which sentence best expresses the theme of this story?A.One person's loss is another's gain.B.An act of kindness is often rewarded.C.A near neighbour is better than a brother far off.D.Do something specific to help those in need.参考答案：[主旨大意] 本文是一篇记叙文。
