It was 7:00 am in Kyoto, Japan, and the taxi company had just called a second time to say they couldn’t find my house. Once again I spelt out directions even a blind person could follow. I glanced impatiently at my watch, and waited. Only two hours remained until my flight left--and it was an hour-and-a-haft trip to the airport.
Outside, heavy rains were pouring down. My house was so far north in the city that buses pass only three times a day.
The telephone rang again. "Terribly sorry," began the man at the taxi company. Then I realized that the taxi company, flooded with calls, could only offer in-city runs. I had heard this happens when the weather gets bad. I shouted into the phone that I had a plane to catch and I would meet the taxi outside my house.
Standing in the wind-driven rain, I looked up and down the road. No taxi. A car went by, the driver and passenger staring at the crazy foreigner in the downpour.

The research was done by a Dr. Griffiths in England. He compared the behavior of 15 regular gamblers with that of 15 non-regular gamblers before and after they gambled. Both groups had increased heart rates during gambling because it was exciting. But the regular gamblers’ heart rates went down almost straight after the game. while the non-regulars remained excited and had increased heart rates for longer.
When the heart beat increases, the body produces chemicals called endorphins which make you feel good. Dr. Griffiths thinks that regular gamblers lose this good feeling soon after a game and need to play again quickly to regain the pleasure.
He has also discovered that regular gamblers have different psychological reactions from those of non-regular gamblers. In an experiment where regular and non-regular gamblers thought aloud while playing, regular gamblers had far more unreasonable thoughts. In their minds they turned losses into near-wins, Dr. Griffith
A. a way to help gamblers give up gambling

The banana "tree" is actually not a real tree. This is because there is no wood in the stem(树干) rising above the ground. The stem is made up of leaves growing very close together, one inside the other. The leaves spread out at the top of the stem and rise in the air.
Banana plants need a lot of care and attention. They must be provided with water if the normal rainfall doesn’t supply enough. The area around the plants must be kept free of weeds and grass.
About nine or ten months after planting, a flower appears on the banana plant. This flower is at the end of a long stalk(茎), which grows from the base up through the center of the stem and turns downward when it comes out from the top. Small bananas form on this flower stalk as it grows down- ward. Bananas really grow upside down. As the small bananas form on the stalk, they point down- ward, but as they grow they mm and point upward.
Bananas are harvested while they are still gre
A. why the banana tree is not a tree
B. how the banana grows on the stem
C. why the stem of the tree is wood
D. how the leaves grow out of the stem -
