　　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．

　　In so many ways, cyberspace mirrors the real world．[1] ________ Others buy and sell products．Still others look for friendship, or even love．Unlike the real world, however, your knowledge about a person is limited to words on a computer screen．Identity(身份)and appearance mean very little in cyberspace．[2] ________ So even the shyest person can become a chat-room star．Usually, this “faceless” communication doesn’t create problems．Identity doesn’t really matter when you’re in a chat room discussing politics or hobbies and it makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversation．Where else can so many people come together to chat about their interests?[3] ________ They’re looking for serious love relationships．Is cyberspace a good place to find love? That answer depends on whom you ask．Some of these relationships actually succeed．Others fail miserably．

　　Supporters of online relationships claim that the Internet allows couples to get to know each other．Personal appearance doesn’t get in the way．But critics of online relationships arguer that no one can truly know another person in cyberspace．Why?[4] ________ Internet users can carefully make their words fit whatever image they want to give．In a sense, they’re not really themselves．All of this may be fine if the relationship stays in cyberspace．[5] ________ With so many unknowns, it’s easy to let one’s imagination “fill in the blanks”．This leads to disappointment when couples meet in person．So, before looking for love in cyberspace, remember the advice of Internet pioneer Clifford Stoll：“Life in the real world is far richer than anything you’ll find on a computer screen．”

A．When we talk with others on the line, we can express ourselves freely．

B．But some Internet users want more than just someone to chat with．

C．People ask for information, play games, and share hobby tips．

D．Generally speaking, online friends and love are worth seeking for．

E．Because the Internet gives users a lot of control over? how others view them．

F．Rather, a person’s thoughts or at least the thoughts they type－are what really count．

G．But not knowing a person is a big problem in a love relationship．
