问题    Driving a car at high speed along a highway seems to be fun. You need only to follow the bright traffic signs beside the highways and they will take you to where you wish.
   But to a London taxi driver, driving is not an easy job. A taxi driver has to have not only good driving skills but also a good knowledge of the city of London, from the smallest lane(小巷) to the most popular bar around. He has to be at the service of all kinds of passengers at all times.
   A certain London taxi driver talked of his job as follows.
   During the night it is quite usual for him to stop two or three times for some refreshments (小食). He said, "I never drink when I’m working—I would lose my licence. "
   He normally goes home between 2 and 3 o’ clock in the night. There are times when he has to stay longer and try to make more runs. He said, "That’ s the worst thing about working for yourself. If you don’t make the money, no one is going to give it to you. "
   London taxi drivers not only "take" but also "give". Every summer, hundreds of poor children from London will go for a day at the sea—by taxi! Their rides are paid by the taxi drivers, and these fares(车费) all go to the "London Taxi Fund for Underprivileged Children". At the sea, they are met by the mayor, and a lunch party is also held in honour of the taxi drivers and the children. After a happy day running around the sea beaches and visiting the market, the children go home again— by taxi, and free of charge, of course!
London taxi drivers______.
选项 A、take money because they have to pay for the children’s rides
B、go to the sea with their families for a day in the summer every two years
C、pay the fares for the poor children to the sea for a day once a year
D、give the poor children a free ride for a day at the sea once every two years
答案C
解析 根据最后一段第二、三句“Every summer，hundreds of poor children from London will go for a day at the sea—by taxi!Their rides are paid by the taxi drivers…”可知，每年夏天，伦敦数百名贫困儿童会乘出租车到海边玩一天；他们的车费由出租车司机承担，并全部投入到相关的基金会中。故选C。
