26、In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music,dance and theater in Edinburgh. The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.
At the same time, the “Fringe” appeared as a challenge to the official festival.Eight theater groups turned up uninvited in 1947,in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform,and they did so in a public house disused for years.
Soon,groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University, and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge,Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theater by little-known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh.
Today the “Fringe”,once less recognized, has far outgrown the festival with around 1,500 performances of theater,music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts. And yet as early as 1959,with only 19 theater groups performing,some said it was getting too big.
A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971, and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself.

27、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 half trip to the airport.
Outside, heavy rains were pouring down. My house was so far north in the city that buses pass only here 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.
Finally a white car appeared and pulled to a stop. A young man threw open the door, waving for me to get in. Shaking with cold and anger, I climbed in.
In the most polite Japanese, the man said he was called Mike, with who I had spoken three times that morning. He had left his post in the office and raced here in his personal car. He apologized again, but didn’t explain why a taxi would not pick me up. Delivering me straight to the airport, he refused the 2,000 yen I pressed into his hand.
A few hours later, as the storm-delayed 727 took off, I opened the newspaper. On the second page my eyes caught the headline of a short article: Taxi Strike Begins This Morning in Kyoto.

28、 In 1981, three friends Yossi, Kevin and Marcus went backpacking. They hired a guide Karl, who promised that he could take them deep into the Amazonian rainforest to an undiscovered village.
The four men set off from the town of Apolo. But after walking for more than a week, they found there was no sign of the village. The three friends began to suspect that Karl didn’t really know where the village was.
So Kevin decided that he would raft (v.乘筏) down the river, and he asked Yossi to join him. Karl and Marcus agreed to go back to Apolo. The three friends agreed to meet in a hotel in La Paz.
The next morning the two pairs of travelers set off on their different journeys…
Yossi and Kevin soon realized that going by river was a big mistake. The river got faster and faster. The raft was swept down the river until it hit a rock. Kevin managed to swim to land, but Yossi was swept away. However, Yossi didn’t drown. He came up to the surface several kilometers downriver.
Kevin didn’t know if Yossi was alive or dead, but he started walking downriver to look for him. Yossi started walking upriver.
But after a week Kevin was exhausted from lack of food. Finally, he was rescued by two hunters. As soon as Kevin felt well enough, he paid a local man with a boat to take him up the river to look for his friend.
By now, Yossi had been on his own in the jungle for nearly three weeks. He was slowly losing his mind. Suddenly he heard the sound of a bee buzzing (发出嗡嗡声) in his ear. When he opened his eyes he saw that the noise wasn’t a bee. It was a boat. Yossi was too weak to shout, but Kevin had already seen him. It was a one-in-a-million chance, but Yossi was saved.
When Yossi had recovered, he and Kevin went directly to the hotel in La Paz. But Marcus and Karl had never arrived.

29、Books keeping your brain busy
If you're in need of a little literary escapism at the moment, look no further. Here are book recommendations from several celebrities to help keep your imagination occupied.
Romesh Ranganathan: Life of Pi
Stand-up comedian (单口相声演员) Romesh Ranganathan picks Yann Martel’s bestseller Life of Pi. The novel tells the story of Pi Patel, a boy who spends months at sea, trapped on a lifeboat with a tiger. As the adventure unfolds, it becomes increasingly exciting. There’s also a surprise ending.
Stacey Dooley: The Bees
TV presenter and journalist Stacey Dooley recommends The Bees by Laline Paull. Set inside a beehive (蜂窝) ,this imaginative novel follows the fortunes of Flora 717, a lowly cleaner bee who works her way up against the odds in a strictly graded society. It’s interesting to watch someone start with nothing and achieve incredible success.
Sindhu Vee: Little Fires Everywhere
Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng is stand-up comedian Sindhu Vee’s top literary pick. Set in suburban Ohio, Vee says it’s a “minutely observed” novel exploring family, motherhood, race and class. At the centre of the story are two opposing women: uptight, controlling Elena Richardson and chaotic (吵闹的) artist Mia. Warren, whose arrival in the neighborhood quickly causes problems.
Phil Wang: Deep Sea and Foreign Going
Stand-up comedian Phil Wang unearths an unexpected gem (宝石) in Deep Sea and Foreign Going by Rose George. In the book, George describes the journey she took on a container ship from England to Singapore, elegantly mixing the story with insights into the global shipping industry.
