假如你是李華，你的美國(guó)網(wǎng)友Tom發(fā)來(lái)電子郵件，請(qǐng)你介紹你市2010年讀書(shū)節(jié)（Shantou Book Fair）的有關(guān)情況。以下是該活動(dòng)的相關(guān)信息。

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．
