       1   - It is also, perhaps, the gentlest, but not always! Elephants are like us in some ways. They live for a
long time- fifty or sixty years. They can remember things very well.   2   If a female elephant dies, her
daughters and her grand daughters are sad for many months. They stay with the dead body. Then they carry a
bit of it away with them. They never forget a dead friend.

      About 150 years ago a German musician sat quietly at a concert in Vienna. They were playing for the first
time a new symphony (交响乐 ) he had composed (创作 ). At the end he turned to face the people at the
concert. They were clapping widely.   1   
     The musician was Beethoven, one of the greatest composers in the world. Deaf people have a hard time.
   2   
     Even as a child Beethoven did not have a happy life. His father was a singer. But he was lazy and drank a
great deal. When the boy was only four, his father decided to make a musician of him.   3  Whenever he did
not put his heart into his practice, his father would be hard on him.
      It is a wonder that the boy did not hate music.   4    When he was 17, he won high praise from Mozart,
a great Austrian composer. A few years later Beethoven went to Vienna to study under Haydn, another great
Austrian composer. Soon he was writing a great deal of music himself. But after one illness, he suddenly found
himself deaf. At that time he was only 31. What a blow it was to him!
      But this did not stop Beethoven. He went on composing.   5   During his life, he composed about 300
pieces. The surprising thing is that he wrote some of his best, his most beautiful pieces after he became deaf.
Many of them are known and loved all over the world.
A. But he could hear nothing for he was deaf.
B. However, his father didn't come to listen to him play the beautiful music.
C. He learned so fast that he was able to go around and give concerts when he was only 11.
D. Beethoven left home and went out to practise his own music.
E. But it is even worse for a composer than for anyone else.
F. So Beethoven had to practice hour after hour on different musical instruments.
G. He wrote long pieces and short pieces, happy ones and sad ones, gentle music and powerful music.
