The million pound bank note Ⅰ.阅读理解 Lang Langs parents are from Shenyang.They married at the end of the Cultural Revolution.Lang Lang says，“People were starting to connect with the west，and the piano was becoming an important instrument.My mother had always wanted to be a musician and my father played in the air force orchestra before the budget was cut and he had to become a policeman.My parents bought our piano before I was born－it cost half their annual salary.” When Lang Lang was nine，his father and his piano teacher decided that he must leave Shenyang for Beijing，home of the Central Conservatory of Music.Lang Lang explains，“My father quit his job and we went to Beijing.My mother didnt come－she needed to earn money for us.Twenty years ago，the trains from Shenyang to Beijing took a whole day or night.As we had to save money，my mum couldnt always come to see me.I really missed her.” Lang Lang and his father rented a room in a poor neighbourhood.Their room was furnished with their piano and a bunk bed(双层床)．“We rented the cheapest room in the bad neighbourhood，” says Lang Lang.“The walls were thin and the neighbours were pissed because I practised at 5 am.They would punch our door and I was scared that I would get beaten up.” In Beijing，Lang Langs father had to be both mother and father.Lang Lang says，“He didnt like to cook or do the laundry，because my mum had always done it.We couldnt spend much，because we only had Mums salary and had to pay for expensive piano lessons once a week.It was really hard.My father became strict and strange.In the morning I practised for one hour，and after school I practised the whole afternoon and early evening.” 1．What do we know about Lang Langs family from the text?
