76 ??????????, fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers. Why read an article in the newspaper, when the TV news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures?

What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, and red?___71___ Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist(悲观者). At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colors preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. ___72___If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.

I was in Tokyo last spring, walking in the street and talking with my dear friend Kirsten. 71 It turned out to be a group of four very hip Japanese college students playing their music instruments for anyone who would listen.
72 In the middle of the second song, an old homeless man broke through the crowd and started shouting at the band. The musicians did their best to ignore him but the man would not go away. It seemed he was angry about the loud noise.
I remember there were probably two dozen people watching this. 73 I was also helpless because first, I couldn’t speak much Japanese, and second, the homeless man was starting to get more and more violent. At one point, he picked up a stick and started banging on the drum set.
This was more than the young drummer could take. He stopped playing, stood up and pushed the old man to the ground.
74 He knelt down next to the old man, took hold of his hands and asked him if he was alright. I couldn’t understand what was being said, but I will never forget the way this young man helped bring the fallen man to his feet. And I will never forget the way he carefully placed his arm around the old man’s shoulders and quietly walked him away.
75 Maybe this old man was a prince in disguise. And maybe he was waiting to see someone act, just once, with beauty and courage.
A.I couldn’t help but wonder. |
B.All of them went away at once. |
C.Suddenly, we heard the sound of a jazz band. |
D.Everybody became angry with the old man. |
E.But no one knew what they could or should do.
F.However, not everyone was enjoying the music.
G.At that time, a young Japanese man went through the crowd quietly.
