Train stations and airports are crowded, babies are crying, and passengers are arguing. The same story also happens during rush hours in big cities every day. When there is a crowd, people lose their tempers（脾气）easily. What makes polite travelers suddenly forget their manners?

One of the causes is a crowded cabin（车厢）. It makes you feel a distance from your sense of self. In other words, you’re no longer yourself.

Tiredness also makes travelers lose their self-control. Think about all those traffic jams on the way to a train station, the long line waiting to enter the station and the busy phone calls from family, friends and workmates. When travelers finally get on the train, their patience has already run out.

Besides, a lack（缺乏）of sleep gives travelers a temper. If we are forces to get up early, many of us will act much more impatiently.

So, how can we make the world a better place when we’re traveling with a big crowd? Try to improve the atmosphere（气氛）. If it’s a flight, the air hostess could stand in front of the cabin, saying things like, “How many of you are going home?” or “Raise your hand if you’ve never been on an airplane before.”

What’s more, everyone can be helpful, such as giving the person next to you a smile, offering the seat to a needy person, and saying “It’s OK”if someone steps on your feet.

九年级英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

You run among crowded people in a railway station, only to find that the train has left. Do you feel depressed(沮丧的)?　　 Probably.　　 But if you are in France, someone may play the piano

for you. It might be a performance of Chopin's Fantaisie-Impromptu or the Pirates of the Caribbean theme song. To our surprise, it is not performed by a paid musician or a street

entertainer asking for coins. Instead, a passer-by jams (即兴演奏) on the piano in the station.

The national railroad company SNCF has put pianos in nearly 100 stations across France. They are rented from Yamaha Corporation. The first piano was set up in the Gare Montparnasse in Paris in 2012.

The pianos have proved to be very popular. In 2014, the SNCF and Yamaha organized a nationwide contest called "Your Turn to Play". It asked participants to upload (上传) video clips of themselves using one of the pianos. At last, about 900 people took part in the contest.

So if you miss a train in France one day, perhaps someone will be playing your favourite piece, and that will reduce your anxiety (焦虑) a bit. Or perhaps you'll sit down, roll up your sleeves and play your sadness away yourself.
