I waited until he jumped into the cab.“LaGuardia Airport, please，” he said. As always, I wondered about my passenger.“What do you do？”“I'm in the neurology department (神经内科) at this hospital.” For some unknown reason, I decided to ask for his help. “Could I ask a favour of you？” He didn't answer.“I have a son, 16. He's doing well in school. He wants a job this summer. Is there any possibility that you might get him a summer job？” After a pause, he said，“The medical students have a research project. Maybe he could fit in. Have him send me his school records.” He searched his pocket and handed me a card.
