题目内容
Brenda Bongos was a happy, artistic girl.She had one big ambition—to play the drums in a band.But one big problem lay in her way.To be good enough to play in a band,Brenda had to practice a lot,but she lived next-door to a lot of old people.Many of them are sick.She knew that the sound of beating drums would really get on their nerves(神经).So,she had tried playing in the strangest places:a basement,a kitchen,and even in a shower.But there was always someone it would annoy.
One day, while watching a science documentary on TV, she heard that sound cannot travel in space,because there’s no air.At that moment,Brenda Bongos decided to become a sort of musical astronaut.
With the help of a lot of time,books and work,Brenda built a space bubble(气泡).This was a big glass ball connected to a machine which sucked out all the air inside. All that would be left inside was a drum kit(成套设备)and a chair.Brenda got into the space suit she had made,entered the bubble,turned on the machine,and played those drums like a wild chlid.
It wasn't long before Brenda Bongos came very famous.Many people came to see her play in her space bubble.Shortly afterwards she came out of the bubble and started giving concerts.Her fame spread so much that the government suggested that she be part of a unique space journey.Finally, Brenda was a real musical astronaut,and had gone far beyond her first ambition of playing drums in a band.
Years later, when asked how she had achieved all this,she thought for a moment,and said:“If those old people next-door hadn’t mattered so much to me,I wouldn't have found a solution,and none of this would have ever happened.”
