Taxi Driver Wisdom is a book offering a glimpse into the world of the New York taxi drivers. Back in the 1990s, an American author had a brilliant idea for a book: collect life wisdom from New York City taxi drivers. After all, what better place to hear gems (精华) about life? As the author wrote in the book introduction, "... New York cab drivers are the world's most accessible source of truth and wisdom," and the fact that many of them were raised in other countries only enriches the perspectives gained during cab rides. One of my favorite quotations from the book comes from a taxi driver who shared this wonderful life insight: "I see more of what is going on around me because I am not concerned with finding a parking place." In other words, the taxi driver sees more by looking at less. Vision is often primary among our senses in obtaining information from our environments. It frequently overrides the other senses, a term known as "visual capture". The human brain is structured so that more space is dedicated to vision than other senses, and we are influenced more often and more powerfully by what we see than by what we hear, smell, taste, or touch. A ventriloquist (口技艺) act is a good example: 36. Why did the author of the book Taxi Driver Wisdom decide to collect ideas from New York cab drivers? A. Because they don't care about finding parking places quickly. B. Because their passengers are from different countries. C. Because they may have different insights about life.
