When you hear Westerners say “ Drop in anytime”(隨時來玩)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. Sometimes Westerners may take you out to dinner in a restaurant and it does not necessarily mean that he is going to pay the bill at the end of the meal. He might want you to “go Dutch”, which means each person pays his own bill.

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),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) 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 ______.

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
