13、 is so surprised. “ I grew up with music. My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar.

14、each and every note.” says Samuel.Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college. The piece had more than a thousand notes.

20、the environment. “We didnt know at that time that there even was an environment, let alone that there was a problem with it,” says Bruce Anderson, president of Earth Day USA. But what began as nothing important in public affaris has grown into a social movement. Business people, political leaders, u

21、niversity professors, and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the movement. “The understanding has increased many, many times,” says Gaylord Nelson, the former governor from Wisconsin, who thought up the first Earth Day. According to US government reports, emissions（排放）fr

22、om cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 million tons. The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9.

27、u pay for? Not necessarily.According to recent findings, price does have an effect on what we think of the quality of food, but it may not always truly show how good the food is. The study was carried out by researchers from Cornell University in the US and published in the Journal of Product & Bran

28、d Management. The research team said that psychologists (心理学家) have long believed that an experiences strongest part (the peak (高峰) ) and last part (the end) decide what we think about the quality of that experience. For their study, lead researcher David Just, PhD, and his colleagues decided to tes

29、t whether this idea changes depending on how much we pay for an experience. In this case (情况), the experience was eating at a restaurant.
