Perhaps your childhood piano lessons made you never want to play the piano again. Perhaps a piano is too expensive for you to buy. Now thanks to a program in Sydney called "Play Me, I'm Yours", people are able to play the piano in public places for free. They share beautiful music and the program also helps them communicate with each other.

Thirty pianos have been placed in different parts of the city including in several parks, at a bus stop and on some streets. The pianos have the logo "Play Me, I'm Yours" on them. People arc invited to play music or sing songs with the pianos. Lots of people have been attracted (吸引) to the program and stopped to watch or play the pianos.

 “Play Me, I'm Yours" is a part of the Sydney Festival. It is a project of the British artist Luck Jerram. He wants to help people in the city connect with each other. He thinks that so many people are sitting in front of computers and busy with their work all hours and they almost have no chance to enjoy music. So the purpose of the project is to help them relax and make new friends.

The program "Play Me, I'm yours" has also reached England and Brazil (巴西) before. It was warmly welcomed there. But its greatest success seems to come at the Sydney Festival. "It's a chance for people to connect with strangers (陌生人) and just have some fun, " Jerram said.

四、任务型阅读。

What makes a successful speech? First, you should have a good speech script (稿子) so that your ideas and language can attract people's attention. And some skills are necessary, too.

Here are some suggestions on giving great speeches:

◆Beat nerves

Try to get relaxed when making a speech. Practice your opening sentence three or more times. This will help make a sure start and a successful speech. When you stand on the stage, think of the audience as your family members and friends.

◆Keep it natural

Natural body languages will help your speech: smile, stand straight and look at the audience. Do not drop your head or play with a pen. Also, dressing yourself nicely will help the audience feel respected.

◆Pace and pause (节奏和停顿)

Pace and pause add color to your speech. Speak fast enough to keep people excited and slowly enough for people to fully understand you. After an important point, pause for a moment. It'll change the atmosphere (气氛)in the audience.

36.A    common意为“普通的”。最后一句中的common是提示。

37.B    between…and…是固定短语，意为“在……和……之间”。

38.C    第二段第一句中的time是提示。此处考查spend的固定搭配，即spend time on sth.,意为“在……上花费时间”。

39.D    be interested in是固定短语，意为“对……感兴趣”，当主语是we时，be动词要用复数形式，又因为是一般过去时态，故be动词要用were。

40.A    what意为“什么”，此处指“我们最感兴趣的是他们用电脑来做什么”。

41.D    后面的the lowest是提示，此处应该填它的反义词the highest。注意：形容词的最高级前面通常要加the。

49.D    It seems to us that…意为“似乎……”。

50.C    useful意为“有用的”，此处指尽管年轻人的家里已经普遍拥有了电脑，但是他们并没有将它应用到日常生活中，更多的年轻人是用它来玩游戏。
