Question

Lang Lang is a world-famous young pianist who grew up in Shenyang. He showed  1 in music at the age of three. He went to a piano school in Beijing when he was just eight. "You need fortune (运气)，"his father said. "But unless (除非)you work hard no fortune will come." What made him sad was that his piano teacher in Beijing didn't like him. "You have no       2      . You will never be a pianist." As an eight-year-old boy Lang Lang was badly       3 . He decided that he didn't want to be a pianist any more. For the next two weeks he didn't touch the piano.   4      his father didn't push 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       5     he could show other people that he had talent. That day he told his father that he wanted to       6       with a new teacher. From that point on everything turned around. He started       7      competitions. In the 1994 International Young Pianists Competition when it was announced (宣布)that Lang Lang had won he was too       8      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 went on   9       in Philadelphia the USA. There he spent two years practising and by 1999 he had worked hard enough for fortune to take over. After his       10       performance at Chicago's Ravinia Festival gigs (特邀演奏)in Lincoln Centre and Carnegie Hall started pouring in. Lang Lang finally worked to reach the place where fortune spots (找到) him and lets him shine.
