问题:

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!
