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 world39。s top orchestras (管弦樂隊),making his first appearance at the Carnegie Hall in New York at 18, while still a student. Lang39。s charm and fondness make him a natural fit to represent China39。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 soldout 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 father39。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. ( )27.

He hurt his hands six years agoBThere are many colours in nature. But do you know that a colour has weight? I think you’ll say “no”. But I am afraid you are wrong. If you don’t believe, you may do a small experiment(實驗). First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the boxes. Wrap(包裹) one box with a red piece of paper, the other with a white piece of paper. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one. It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier. Why does it happen? A scientist found that different colours have different weight in a man’s mind. So he did many tests and at last he got the result. That is to say, every colour has its own weight in our mind. The heaviest colour is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white. The scientists told us that colours also have smell. Can you smell the colour? Of course not. Then why did the scientists say so? That is because every colour represents a kind of light wave(光波) a certain wavelength(波長). It reaches our brain(大腦) through organs(感覺器官)According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colour they like, and refuse the colour they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colours you like. Or you’ll be nervous or even get ill. If you stay in a room with red windows, wallpapers and furniture(家具) for two hours, you’ll feel you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue, you’ll feel you have been there for only one hour. Another example
