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 (管弦乐队),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(抱负) 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?

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

When you hear Westerners say “ Drop in anytime”(随时来玩)or “Come and see me soon” , you should realize that it doesn’t mean you are welcome to come over to their house anytime. It’s wise to telephone before visiting someone.

Never accept an invitation unless you really plan to go. You may refuse by saying, “Thank you for inviting me, but I may not be able to come.” If you are unable to come after accepting the invitation, be sure to tell those who invite you in advance(提前)that you will not be there.

When you have accepted the invitation to a party or a dinner, it is polite to bring small gifts with you, such as bottles of drink, flowers and chocolate.

He might want you to “go Dutch”, which means each person pays his own bill.

Sometimes it is impossible to deliver(投递)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.

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 (出价者).
