His talent and charm have made him the No.1Chinese classical artist in the world. And he played in the grand Beijing Olympic opening ceremony in 2008, watched by a TV audience of 5 billion.

Lang Lang, 26, is the first Chinese pianist to play with the world's top orchestras (管弦樂隊(duì)），making his first appearance at the Carnegie Hall in New York at 18, while still a student.

Lang's charm and fondness make him a natural fit to represent China's new international image. According to the British newspaper the Times, "The Lang Lang effect" drives 36 million Chinese children to learn the piano.

Now in China, children are learning Chopin and Western orchestras are playing sold-out tours across Chinese cities. But can China ever introduce its own music to the West? Lang is trying. His cooperation（合作） with the London Symphony Orchestra this month includes a performance of Dragon Songs, an album of traditional Chinese classics.

Behind the success , however, is a surprising story of a gifted child. Lang grew up with his father's own musical ambition(抱負(fù)) and high expectations. It is not hard to imagine how boring it must be to practice the piano every day. Lang said that he once hated his hands and the piano. He got his right hand hurt six years ago and had to rest. "That was the best month," he says.

1.What is the main reason why Lang Lang is the No.1 Chinese classical artist in the world?

A. He played in the Beijing Olympic opening ceremony in 2008.

B. He usually plays with the world's top orchestras.

C. He tries to introduce Chinese music to Western countries.

D. He plays the piano so well and has a good international image.

2. Lang Lang is trying his best to ______ now.

A. introduce China's own music to the West

B. play sold-out tours across Chinese cities

C. encourage children to learn the piano

D. prepare for a performance of Dragon songs

3.Which of the following about Lang Lang is true?

A. He didn't like music at all.

B. He had a good rest and enjoyed himself because he got his right hand hurt. .

C. He has had a great musical ambition since his childhood.

D. He first appeared in the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008.

4.From the last paragraph we can learn ______.

A. Lang didn't like playing the piano at all as a child

B. He was happy to practice the piano every day

C. His father's wish and expectations played an important role in his childhood

D. He hurt his hands six years ago

Sometimes it is impossible to deliver（投遞）all the mail that arrives at the post office. Perhaps there is an mailing address and there is no return address.

Seventy-five million pieces of mail can be put in these offices in one year.

There the workers of the dead mail offices have ways to deal with all of these pieces of dead mail. First of all, they look for something that can help them deliver the mail； they open packages, expecting that something will show where the package came from or is going to. Dead mail will also be listed on a so that people can call in and check to see if a missing thing is there on the screen. However, all of this mail cannot simply be forever； there is just too much of it. When a lot of dead mail comes together, the dead mail offices hold public auctions (拍賣). Every three months, some people who are are invited to the offices with objects（物品） found in dead mail packages and they are sold to the bidder (出價者).
