問題詳情：

    perhaps your childhood piano lessons made you never want to play the piano again. Perhaps a piano is too expensive for you to afford. Now, thanks to a program in Sydney called “Play Me, I'm yours”， people are able to play the piano in public places for free. They share beautiful music, and the program also helps them communicate with each other.

Thirty pianos have been placed in different parts of the city, including in several parks, at a bus stop and on some streets. The pianos have the logo “Play Me, I'm yours” on them. People are invited to play music or sing songs with the pianos, no matter what level of ability they have. Lots of people have been attracted to the program and stopped to watch or play the pianos.

“Play Me, I'm yours” is a part of the Sydney Festival. It is a project of the British artist, Luck Jerram. He wants to help people in the city connect with each other. He thinks that so many people are sitting in front of computers and busy with their work all hours, and they almost have no chance to enjoy music. So the purpose of the project is to help them relax and make new friends.

The program “Play Me, I'm yours” has also reached England and Brazil (巴西) before. It was warmly welcomed there. But its greatest success seems to come at the Sydney Festival. “It's a chance for people to be creative, connect with strangers and just have some fun，” Jerram said.

【分析】

文章大意：“Play Me, I'm yours”是英國藝術家Luke Jerram發起的一項活動，就是把鋼琴塗成各種鮮豔的圖案，放在公共場合供人們*奏。人們可以在公共場所免費的演奏鋼琴，可以分享美麗的音樂節目，也能幫助他們互相溝通，目的就是幫助人們放鬆和結交新朋友。

260．細節理解題。根據文中的第一句Perhaps your childhood piano lessons made you never want to play the piano again可知孩子們不想再上鋼琴課，顯然是因為它太無聊了。A. boring無聊的；    B. valuable有價值的；C. interesting有趣的；D. meaningful有意義的。故*選A。

261．細節理解題。原文第二段“Thirty pianos have been placed in different parts of the city including in several parks at a bus stop and on some streets.”三十架鋼琴已被放置在不同的地方，包括一些公園，車站；和一些街道，故*選D。

262．細節理解題。原文第三段“So the purpose of the project is to help them relax and make new friends.”這個項目的目的就是為了幫助人們放鬆、並交一些好朋友，故*選C。

263．細節理解題。根據原文最後一段The program“Play Me, I'm yours”has also reached England and Brazil (巴西) before.這個項目之前在英國和巴西被運用過。原文“But its greatest success seems to come at the Sydney Festival.”"但是最大的成功是來自於悉尼的節日。這裏提到三個國家，故*選B。

264．主旨大意題。從第一段Now thanks to a program in Sydney called "Play Me，I'm yours"，整片文章講"Play Me，I'm yours"這個項目，故D項最符合。
