    Why did Mark Twain get so angry? A. Because the conductor had put someone else off the train. B. Because the conductor had forgotten to put him off in Paris. C. Because the conductor had forgotten to wake him up at Dijon. D. Because Mark Twain had not had enough sleep. O For a long time people who fish have had to rely on luck to catch fish. Even big fishing ships, fitted with radar and modern equipment, have their share of bad days. Wouldn't it be nice if fish could be trained to come at the call of a whistle the way some dogs do? Well, the days of "fish whistle" may be just around the corner. Japanese companies are working methods that will train fish to return to harvest areas at the sound of an underwater whistle. The method works like this: First, fish eggs are hatched in a laboratory. Whenever feeding time arrives, a whistle sounds. The young fish learn to return to their feeding areas at the sound of whistle. Later, the fish are released at sea, near specially-made underwater barns.There, the whistle-plus-feeding program continues. Being well fed and sheltered,the fish continue to "hang out" and around the "barn". So when fishing time arrives, all the harvesters need to do is to sound the whistle, drop their nets, and haul up a load of fish. Many countries have closed their offshore fishing waters to ship from other nations. With fish whistles and barns, Japanese hopes to become less dependent on importing fish from other countries. 【查看更多】

         Mark Twain, the famous American writer, was traveling in France. Once he was very tired and wanted to sleep. He therefore asked the conductor to wake him up when they came to Dijon. But first he explained that he was a very heavy sleeper. "I'll strongly protest(抗议) when you try to wake me up," he said to the conductor. "But do not take any notice, just put me off the train anyway."

        Then Mark Twain went to sleep. Later, when he woke up it was night time and the train was in Paris already. He realized at once that the conductor had forgotten to wake him up at Dijon. He ran up to the conductor and began to shout at him." I have never been so angry in all my life," Mark Twain said.

        The conductor looked at him calmly. "You are not half so angry as the American whom I put off the train at Dijon," he said loudly.
