The story started when Giorgio Lo Porto heard his neighbour playing the piano through their dividing wall. Lo porto is an Italian living in London. He reached out to his neighbor and left a note, saying if he or she could play the song — My Heart Will Go On. The mystery neighbour agreed, suggesting they play together. Over time the music between the two strangers became a weekly engagement (约定). A few weeks later, the pair finally met and “it was better than expected” shared Lo Porto. The mystery pianist happened to be a 78-year-old Polish man named Emil. “He lost his wife in December because of COVID-19 and all he has been left is the piano. And he plays at 2 p. m. every weekend because his wife loved it,” shared Lo Porto. While Emil didn’t want to appear on any of the videos, he did share his thankfulness to Lo Porto for keeping him active during a most emotional and lonely time. When the pair offered each other companionship, Emil also made Lo Porto continue writing his own song. And Emil was happier after playing music with Lo Porto. The bittersweet story shows the incredible influence two complete strangers can have on each other. Emil moved out at the end of February. Lo Porto wrote, “Dear Email, you changed my life. You gave me back my passion (激情), and we shared that with the world. You’ll be in my heart. I’ll keep playing, thinking of how powerful music can be.

The story started when Giorgio Lo Porto heard his neighbour playing the piano through their dividing wall. Lo porto is an Italian living in London. He reached out to his neighbor and left a note, saying if he or she could play the song — My Heart Will Go On. The mystery neighbour agreed, suggesting they play together. Over time the music between the two strangers became a weekly engagement (约定). A few weeks later, the pair finally met and “it was better than expected” shared Lo Porto. The mystery pianist happened to be a 78-year-old Polish man named Emil. “He lost his wife in December because of COVID-19 and all he has been left is the piano. And he plays at 2 p. m. every weekend because his wife loved it,” shared Lo Porto. While Emil didn’t want to appear on any of the videos, he did share his thankfulness to Lo Porto for keeping him active during a most emotional and lonely time. When the pair offered each other companionship, Emil also made Lo Porto continue writing his own song. And Emil was happier after playing music with Lo Porto. The bittersweet story shows the incredible influence two complete strangers can have on each other. Emil moved out at the end of February. Lo Porto wrote, “Dear Email, you changed my life. You gave me back my passion (激情), and we shared that with the world. You’ll be in my heart. I’ll keep playing, thinking of how powerful music can be. You said I was your light, but you’ve been mine too. Bye, Emil. ” 36．What happened after Lo Porto left a note for Emil? A．Emil helped with Lo Porto’s studies.

D．They wanted to become famous by posting their music online. 39．What does the underlined word “incredible” in Paragraph 5 most probably mean?
