Lang Lang was born in Shenyang, 1982. He is a {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(著名的) pianist now. When he was only three years old, he showed his{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(天赋) in playing the piano. So his father took him to a piano school in Beijing and told him, “{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(假如) you don't work hard, your dream won't come true.” Lang Lang was hard-working and strict with {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(他自己). At the age of five, he took part in a piano competition and {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(赢) the first prize. He went to America to get further study when he was only thirteen, and from then on, he {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (几乎不) went back home. Finally, he reached the {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(顶部). In 2018, Lang Lang will have two {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(音乐会) in China. Many people are{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(计划) to go there. “{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(任何人)can be successful as long as you put your heart into it.” Lang Lang said.

    Long ago in a small, faraway village, there was a place {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (know) as the House of 1000 Mirrors. A small, happy little dog learned of this p{#blank#}2{#/blank#} and decided to visit. When he arrived, he jumped happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. To his great surprise, he found himself {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (stare) at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (he). He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and friendly. As he left the House, he thought to himself, "This is a wonderful place. I {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (come) back and visit it often."

    In this same village, a{#blank#}7{#/blank#} little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1000 {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (friendly) looking dogs staring back at him, he growled(咆哮) at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought to himself, "That is a horrible place, and I will never go back there {#blank#}9{#/blank#}."

    All the f{#blank#}10{#/blank#} in the world are mirrors. What kind of reflections(反映) do you see in the faces of the people you meet?

    Reading is important in our daily life. But have you ever thought what we read f{#blank#}1{#/blank#}, information or skills? How do we feel when we read, excited or upset? We read word by word aloud and think about them. Is that enough? I think reading is more than p{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (pronounce) or thinking about words.

    R{#blank#}3{#/blank#} The Reader, a very popular TV program, is staged (上演) in the form of reading. It's a n{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (nation) reading program. Dong Qing works a{#blank#}5{#/blank#} both a hostess and a producer. The Reader hopes to tell us w{#blank#}6{#/blank#} the world is like and it takes us to see the beautiful world by reading. The show has invited some influential (有影响力的) guests who have rich experiences and touching stories, like Ni Ping, Wang Yuan from TFBOYS and Yao Chen.

    "Reading touches people's hearts" is the slogan(口号) of The Reader. What it wants to s{#blank#}7{#/blank#} isn't reading skills but real feelings. They are what touches the audience (观众)most. "I have long thought about working on a program related to (与...有关) the human spirit, so far The Reader has b{#blank#}8{#/blank#} a turning point in my career in hosting and the program has brought me quite a huge challenge," said Dong.

    The Reader is of great i{#blank#}9{#/blank#} to the audience and Chinese culture. It also tells us if we understand what we are reading, we will know what reading really is and we'll become better r{#blank#}10{#/blank#}.
