John was the only son of a wealthy (富有的) American businessman. Usually he was taken to school by the chauffeur (私人司机) in his father' s beautiful car, before the chauffeur took John' s father to his office.

1．Why was John able to go to school in a beautiful car driven by a chauffeur?
2．Why couldn' t the chauffeur take John to school one day?
3．Why couldn't his mother do so?
