My heart beat with that feeling，pumping it like blood to my body as my fingers flew across the piano keys。As the piece neared the end，I stood up to take my final bow. For a cond，the room was quiet。Yet，even in that one cond，I had enough time to doubt whether I had done everything perfectly。Then，suddenly，the applau came。
“Thank you… so much，” I said，turning to Olga, my piano teacher for six yea rs. “You've been an amazing student all the years," she said, “and I hope that whatever you do，you never stop practicing.”
I leaned forward, promising I would always keep playing becau I loved piano, and hugged her.
It turned out to be that promis weren't as meaningful as I'd hoped for them to be。Right after quitting，I kept up my strict practicing schedule。Soon，it began slipping away from me。After all, the reason I had stopped taking lessons was that my schedule was busy with homework。Not long after, I
stopped practicing altogether。It was pleasing not to have to stress about piano anymore. But something was shifting inside of me。I was empty inside.
One day I met Michelle，who had also taken piano lessons from Olga for quite a while。
“So, are you still taking lessons from Olga？” She asked。

US scientists have fixed experimental nsors （传感器）in some cities to map wind patterns and provide possible lifesaving information in a chemical or biological attack.
Two test models，in the form of nine—meter high aluminum （铝）towers，are now undergoing testing in New York City,one in Greenwich Village and the other near Times Square.
Half a dozen similar nsors have been fixed in and around Washington。
Simulations （模仿）of terrorist attacks carried out since the Sep.11,2001 attacks have stresd the importance of finding out as soon as possible tho areas that would be most affected by giving out poisonous gas or radioactive material into the air.
Now,the only reliable sources of information on wind speeds and direction are major airports,which are generally located too far away from city centers to be of much u。
The experimental nsors measure wind strength and direction 10 times per cond。The information is downloaded through the Internet to computers that can turn out a detailed wind map，updated every 15 minutes。
