famous people. But usually they cannot see the hard work or the hours of practice behind the great success.
Li Yundi, a great Chinese piano talent, talked with teens about his art and his job."Of course, the job is hard
work. You need to work hard to be professional. And you also have to play hundreds of concerts, meet fans,
and listen to critics(评论家)."
In 2000, when Li Yundi was 18, he won the top prize at the Chopin International Piano Competition in
Poland. Li was the youngest and the first Chinese to win the prize. Born in Chongqing, Li began to play the
piano when he was seven. His parents spent all their money and bought a piano for him-a luxury (奢侈品) in
the 1980s in China. He worked hard. Every day, he played for eight hours or more at a piano school. He often
played even after school. Li still can"t play a beautiful tune without careful preparation (准备). "You need to be
ready (有准备的) on stage (舞台)," Li said."People are waiting for you. Nobody knows whether (是否) you
have slept enough, whether you have some problems in your life. But you need to play great music for your
audience(听众).That"s what they want to hear." | | 1. People often see ________ of the famous people. | A. happy smiles

he could fly like a bird.
One day, Jack came to a park and saw a cripple(瘸的) boy. He ran over to the boy and asked him if he
wanted to fly like a bird. But the little boy said he only wanted to walk and run like other boys and girls. Jack
felt a little sad. He asked the crippled boy if they could be friends. The boy agreed and the two little boys played
for hours. Then the crippled boy"s father came to pick up his son. Jack ran over to the boy"s father and said
something to him. Then Jack said to his new friend,"You are my only friend. I can"t make you walk and run.
But I can do something else for you." Jack turned around and told his new friend to move onto his back. He
then began to run faster and faster across the park.
The little boy"s father began to cry as he watched his beautiful crippled son waving his arms in the wind and yelling(欢呼),"I"m flying, Daddy. I"m flying!" |
