The words of Gandhi, Einstein and other great thinkers are to be quoted in service announcements on London’s Underground．

Transport for London has asked Turner Prize-winning artist Jeremy Deller to edit a list of mottos to be used by tube drivers．Gandhi’s “there is more to life than increasing its speed” and the artist Cezanne’s “we live in a rain-bow of chaos” are among the quotes．Deller hopes they will make passengers’ journeys a bit more thought-provoking(發(fā)人深省的)．

Deller’s original plan was to abolish all public announcements for a day．“It makes me feel annoyed,” he said．“It’s like some psychological warfare(戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng) ) on the passengers．”

But his idea was refused by the manager of Transport for London, who instead agreed to the plan of replacing some announcements with something more human and attractive．

Sally Shaw, who is running the scheme for Transport for London, says it is part of an attempt to improve day-to-day interaction and rely less on automated announcements．

“I think everyone has their own little philosophy on their journeys．And if we can get more of that out in the air, that would be great,” she said．

 Susy Wells, one of the drivers to test the idea out on the London Underground, is also enthusiastic about it．

She said, “I like to make my own announcements and it’s nice to get passengers to think as well．”

What’s more, some quotes are helpful to the drivers．They help the passengers become more understanding about the drivers’ work．

The quotes such as Thomas Fuller’s “a stumble(絆腳) may prevent a fall” are popular for helping explain why a little inconvenience was sometimes necessary to keep the system safe．

53．The underlined phrase “tube drivers” probably means______．

     A．taxi drivers    B．subway drivers             C．truck drivers   D．bus drivers

54．Why did Deller want to abolish all public announcements on the underground?

     A．Because they cause a war among passengers．

     B．Because the public announcements make Deller tired．

     C．Because the public announcements are dull．

     D．All public announcements are not suitable for the passengers．

55．The reason why the sayings are to be quoted on London’s Underground is ______．

     A．that everyone has their own life motto

     B．that sayings are believed to be more human and attractive

     C．that sayings can help develop spiritual civilization in London

     D．that saying can make drivers think more

56．The best title of this passage would be _____．

     A．Changes on London’s Underground

A sobbing little girl stood near a small church from which she had been turned away because it “was too crowded．” “I can’t go to Sunday School,” she sobbed to the pastor (牧師) as he walked by．Seeing her shabby appearance, the pastor guessed the reason, and, taking her by the hand, took her inside and found a place for her in the Sunday School class．The child was so touched that she went to bed that night thinking of the children who have no place to worship Jesus．

Some years later, this child lay dead in one of the poor buildings and the parents called for the kindhearted pastor, who had befriended their daughter, to handle the final arrangements．As her poor little body was being moved, a worn purse was found which seemed to have been picked up from some trash dump．Inside was found 57 cents and a note scribbled in childish handwriting which read, “This is to help build the little church bigger so more children can go to Sunday School．”

For two years she had saved for this offering of love．When the pastor tearfully read that note, he knew instantly what he would do．Carrying this note, he told people the story of her unselfish love and devotion．

A newspaper learned of the story and published it．It was read by a Realtor who offered them a parcel of land worth many thousands．When told that the church could not pay so much, he offered it for 57 cents．

Church members made large donations．Checks came from far and wide．Within five years the little girl’s gift had increased to $250,000, a huge sum for that time．

When you are in the city of Philadelphia, look up Temple Baptist Church, with a seating capacity of 3,300 and Temple University, where hundreds of students are trained．Have a look, too, at the Good Samaritan Hospital and at a Sunday School building which houses hundreds of Sunday scholars, so that no child in the area will ever need to be left outside during Sunday school time．
