The fourth Thursday in April is a special day in the USA. 1 On this day, children won't go to school. They will follow their parents to work and experience how their parents work. 2 I sat in my dad's taxi all day long. But after only 20 minutes, I got very bored. I couldn't read my book because I would get carsick (晕车的). Sometimes it was difficult to pick up a passenger. 3 Then I realized working is not as great as it sounded. I started to miss my school life. When it was time for lunch, my father and I had a simple lunch. Then he got straight back to work. 4
When the work was over, I wrote a diary to record my experience, thoughts and feelings. This holiday may help some children learn to love their jobs later in life. 5 And it made me want to work hard for a better future too.

3. 第三空前文提到做出租车司机有时很难接到乘客，后文说明作者意识到工作并不像听起来那么美好，E选项“而且有时候乘客也不友好”是补充列举开出租车遇到的难处，逻辑连贯。
4. 第四空前文提到爸爸吃完简单的午饭就立刻返回工作，A选项“他甚至都没有休息”承接前文内容，体现出爸爸工作的辛劳，符合行文逻辑。
5. 第五空前文说明这个节日的普遍意义，后文点明这次经历让作者想要为更好的未来努力，C选项“但对我来说，这是值得记住的一天”承上启下，点明这次经历对作者的特殊意义，贴合语境。
