object.__getitem__(self, key)
Called to implement evaluation of self[key]. For sequence types, the accepted keys should be integers and slice objects. Note that the special interpretation of negative indexes (if the class wishes to emulate a sequence type) is up to the __getitem__()method. If key is of an inappropriate type, TypeError may be raised; if of a value outside the set of indexes for the sequence (after any special interpretation of negative values), IndexError should be raised. For mapping types, if key is missing (not in the container), KeyError should be raised.
Note:
for loops expect that an IndexError will be raised for illegal indexes to allow proper detection of the end of the sequence.对于Fibonacci数列，当我们想抽取特定位置的值看，那又该怎么做，于是就出来了__getitem__这样的函数。
