八、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（共6分，55-58每小题1分，59小题2分）

I was born in Ireland and lived there until I was nineteen years old. I came to New York in 1956. At first, I held several jobs to earn a few dollars. Later, to live a better life, I bought my own taxi car. Till now, I've been in the taxi car business for thirty-five years. I know there is a lot about taxi drivers that is not so good. Because of this, people get the wrong impression that they are bad.

In fact, taxi drivers are just like other honest (诚实的) people. You can read in the papers almost every week where a taxi driver turns in money or jewels

people leave in their taxis. One time in Brooklyn, I found a ring in my car. I remembered helping a lady with a lot of bags that day, so I went back to the store where I had dropped her off. It took me almost two days to look for her in order to return the iPhone. I didn't get as much as a “ Thank you.” Still, I felt good because I had done what was right.

In all my years of driving a taxi, I have never had any trouble with people because I always try to be nice to everyone. I try to be honest toward others. I have been trying this for a long time, and the longer I try, the easier it gets. 55. When did the writer come to New York? ___________________________________ 56.
