题目内容
18.You run among crowded people in a railway station,only to find that the train has left.Do you feel depressed(沮丧的)?Probably.But if you are in France,someone may play the piano for you.It might be a performance of Chopin's Fantaisie-Impromptu or the Pirates of the Caribbean theme song.To our surprise,it is not performed by d paid musician or a street entertainer asking for coins.Instead,a passer-by jams(即兴演奏)on the piano in the station.The national railroad company SNCF has put pianos in nearly 100stations across France.They are rented from Yamaha Corporation.The first piano was set up in the Gare Montparnasse in Paris in 2012.
The pianos have proved to be very popular.In 2014,the SNCF and Yamaha organized a nationwide contest called"Your Turn to Play".It asked participants to upload(上传)video clips of themselves using one of the pianos.At last,about 900people took part in the contest.
So if you miss a train in France one day,perhaps someone will be playing your favourite piece,and that will reduce your anxiety(焦虑)a bit.Or perhaps you'll sit down,roll up your sleeves and play your sadness away yourself.
53.If you miss a train in France,who may play the piano for you?
Someonemayplaythepianoforyou.
54.Why has the company SNCF put pianos in nearly 100stations across France?
Because the pianos have proved to be very popular.
55.If possible,would you like to jam on the piano in such stations?Why or why not?
Yes,I would like to do that,Because ifI missed my train,it will reduce my anxiety.
分析 本文讲述了在法国的火车站如果你错过了火车,也许某人会为你演奏钢琴,因为法国铁路公司向雅马哈公司租了钢琴放置在近100个法国火车站,供路人即兴表演,还有竞赛之类的活动.

"I don't believe that they had a three-second memory because animals need their memory,so they build up over time a knowledge of where the food is,"said Roy Stokes,a student at the Australian Science and Mathematics School.
He did the experiment in small tank(鱼缸) of goldfish."I decided to get a bit of red Logo and just feed them next to that.Every day I'd put it in and spread food around it."He said.
"At first they were a bit scared of it,but by the end of the three weeks,they were actually almost coming before I put the food in."
After leaving the fish alone for a week,Rory placed the red Logo block in the tank again.
"They remembered perfectly well,"he said.
"They actually had a time faster than the average of the three feeds before I left."
The goldfish showed that not only could they store information,they also had the ability to get it back as a later date.
Culum Brown,a research fellow at Sydney's Macquarie University,has studied fish behavior for more than ten years.
He says his studies of Australian native fish show fish were intelligent creatures that know how to avoid enemies and catch food like any other animal.
"The thing that I really liked about Rory's experiment is he not only got that classical conditioning going but the fact that he could get them next just to that specific coloured market.I thought it was really good."He said.
