17、 partying and having fun. But when Adele turned 21, she did something completely different. After going through a tough breakup(分手), the British singer turned her pain into glory and recorded one of the most moving albums of the year. The album, 21, which was released in January, has already hit the

18、 charts in 14 countries, according to the Billboard magazine. It also noted that Adele made history as the first artist since the Beatles to have two top five singles and two top five albums in the charts at the same time (Adeles first album, 19, was released in 2008. Each album is named for her age

19、 when she wrote it). Now, after touring around the world for almost a year, the DVD of her live concert, released on November 29, is Adeles latest work. Having topped the pre-order list of Amazon. com for over a month already, this one seems set to stay on top for a while. Born in north London, Adel

20、e sang her way up honestly: In 2006, she was signed by Englands XL Recordings on the strength of (基于)a three-song demo(样本唱片) a friend of hers had posted on MySpace; within two years she had won the BRIT Awards Critics Choice prize and been tipped by the BBC as the “Sound of 2008”. In 2009 she got th

21、e best new artist Grammy Award, and went on a world tour in support of the album 19 with a sold-out show in Los Angeles.

24、 Her DVD topped the pre-order list of Amazon. com for only a month. D. She went on a world tour in support of the album 21. DIn a moment of personal crisis, how much help can you expect from a New York taxi driver? I began studying this question and found the answers interesting. One morning I got i

25、nto three different taxis and announced: “Well, its my first day back in New York in seven years. Ive been in prison. ” Not a single driver replied, so I tried again. “Yeah, I shot a man in Reno, ” I explained, hoping the driver would ask me why, but nobody asked. The only response came from a Ghana

26、ian driver: “Reno? That is in Nevada? ”Taxi drivers were uniformly sympathetic when I said Id just been fired. “This is America, ” a Haitian driver said. “One door is closed. Another is open. ” He argued against my plan to burn down my bosss house: “If you do something silly and they put you away, y

27、ou cannot look for another job. ” A Pakistani driver even turned down a chance to profit from my loss of hope: he refused to take me to the middle of the George Washington Bridge, a $20 trip. “Why do you want to go there? Go home and relax. Dont worry. Take a new job. ”One very hot weekday in July,

28、while wearing a red ski mask and holding a stuffed pillowcase with the word “BANK” on it, I tried hailing a taxi five times outside different banks. The driver picked me up every time. My ride with a Haitian driver was typical of the superb assistance I received. “Is anyone following us? ”“No, ” sai

29、d the driver, looking in his rearview mirror at traffic and me. “Lets go across the park, ” I said. “I just robbed the bank there. I got $25, 000. ”“$25, 000? ” he asked. “Yeah, you think it was wrong to take it? ”“No, man, I work 8 hours and I dont make almost $70. If I can do that, I do it too. ”A

30、s we approached 86th and Lexington, I pointed to the Chemical Bank. “Hey, theres another bank, ” I said, “Could you wait here a minute while I go inside? ”“No, I cant wait. Pay me now. ” His reluctance may have had something to do with money taxi drivers think the rate for waiting time is too low bu
