Lang Lang is a world-class young pianist who grew up in Shenyang. He went to a piano school in Beijing when he was just eight, "You need fortune(運氣)，" his father said. "But     you work hard, no fortune will come."
What made him      was that his piano teacher in Beijing didn't like him. "You have no talent(天賦).You will never be a pianist." As an eight-year-old boy, Lang Lang was badly      . He decided that he didn't want to be a pianist any more. For the next two weeks, he didn't touch the piano. Wisely(明智的)his father didn't     ,but wait.
Luckily the day came when his teacher asked him to play some holiday songs. He didn't want to, but as he placed his fingers on the piano keys, he       he could show other people that he had ability to do it well. That day he told his father that he wanted to     with a new teacher. From that point on, everything turned around.
He started        competitions. In the 1994 International Young Pianists Competition when it was announced that Lang Lang had won, he was too       to hold back his tears. Soon it was clear that he couldn't stay in China forever-he had to play on the world's big stages. In 1997 Lang Lang      again, this time to Philadelphia, US. There he spent two years practicing and by 1999 he had worked hard enough for fortune to take over．After his     performance at Chicago's Raviniu Festival, gigs（演奏會）in Lincoln Center and Camegie Hall started pouring in. Lang Lang finally worked to reach the place where fortune spots(找到)him, and lets him shine.

Something was crying outside. So I went out to see what was happening. A big cat sat by the door. It must run for a long time as it looked tired and dirty.

Some time ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn't think there would be any difficulty in getting it repaired, as there are a lot of antique (古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception（接待）． I was quite wrong. The man wouldn't even look at my chair.
The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth -- so I decided that my approach must be wrong.
I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, "Would you like to buy a chair?"
He looked it over carefully and said,- "Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?"
“Twenty pounds," I said.
“OK," he said, "I'll give you twenty pounds."
“It's got a slightly broken leg," I said.
‘'Yes, I saw that, it's nothing."
Everything was going according to my plan and l was getting excited. "What will you do with it?" I asked.
“Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done."
“I'll buy it," I said.
“What do you mean? You've just sold it to me," he said.
"Yes, I know but I've changed my mind. I am sorry. I'll give you twenty-seven pounds for it."
“You must be crazy," he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair."
“You're right," I said. "And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, 'Would you repair this chair for me?"'
“I wouldn't have agreed to do it," he said. "We don't do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I'II repair this for you. Shall we say for five pounds?" He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.
小題1:We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer_______.
A．was rather impoliteB．was warmly received
C．a(chǎn)sked the shopkeeper to buy his chairD．a(chǎn)sked the shopkeeper to repair his chair
小題2: The underlined word "approach" in the second paragraph means_______.
A．plan for dealing with thingsB．way of doing things
C．idea of repairing thingsD．decision to sell things
小題3:The expression "the penny dropped" in the last paragraph means the shopkeeper_______.
A．changed his mindB．a(chǎn)ccepted the offer
C．saw the writer's purposeD．decided to help the writer

“Father, that’s a bad sign,” cried the boy. “Please don’t go hunting today.”
“You are silly!” said the father. “That’s a good sign. ‘L’ means ‘Luck’.”
The father went to a mountain lake. There were thirteen wild ducks on the lake! Twelve were playing in the water, and the thirteenth was sleeping beside a rock..
“Great!” the hunter aimed at one of the ducks.
“Bang!” went the shot. Ah, but as the gun barrel was crooked(彎曲), the bullet went zigzag, zigzag, hitting all the twelve ducks in the water and then hitting the thirteenth sleeping duck.
The ducks didn’t die at the moment, so the hunter tried to catch them. When he finally held the last duck by the neck, it suddenly hit the water for the last time with its wings. The something jumped out of the water and landed near the bank---a huge fish!
