课时训练(三十一) .阅读理解 (2014·郑州毕业班质检)Would the voice of Amanda Holden saying “your city had talent” encourage you to use a litter bin？Or maybe former Monty Python star Michael Palin telling you no one had expected“the Spanish bin-quisition”？ Organizers of a plan persuading celebrities (名人)to lend their voices to “talking bins” believe it can make a real difference to keeping Britain tidy.They hope that by using humor，they will succeed where fines and warnings have failed in keeping streets and parks clean. A similar experiment in Sweden found a talking bin received nearly three times as much rubbish as an ordinary one because people were attracted by its novelty value. Twenty-five specially adapted bins to be installed (安装) in the streets of London and Liverpool next month will use a sound card to play a themed message when litter is placed inside.For example，one near the Royal Opera House will play a “thank-you” message sung by Janis Kelly to the tune of Nessun Dorma.Bins installed in Liverpool will play Beatles-themed messages.For others，Britains Got Talent judge Holden is expected to record the message：“This is Amanda，and this citys got talent.” The campaign，entitled Bin Thinking，is being organized by art group Sing London.If successful，talking bins could become a familiar feature on Britains streets. Colette Hiller，director of Sing London，said，“The idea is to reward people in a small way for changing their behavior and raise awareness through a sense of fun.” 1．What is the plan persuading celebrities to lend their voices to“talking bins”aimed at?
