Beethoven Ludwig Van Beethoven, one of the most popular classical composers of all time, is sometimes known as "the Shakespeare of music". He was in Bonne in 1770, and public his first work at the age of thirteen. Mozart was his teacher for a short time, although they did not get on well together; Beethoven was a difficult student. As a composer, Beethoven was a genius - but as a person, he was not very easy to like. He was a passionate man who lost his temper very easily. He was also arrogant. The upper class of Vienna used to invite him to parties, where he was often quite rude. He was once heard to say to a prince "There will always be many princes, but there is only one Beethoven". Neverthless, Beethoven composed some of the most beautiful symphonies the world has ever heard. How was such an arrogant, bad-tempered man inspired to write such romantic music? Perhaps the answer lies in the three letters that were found after his death. They were addressed to his "Immortal Beloved Woman". Nobody knows who this woman was, but it appears that Beethoven was deeply in love with her for most of his adult life. 1. Which of the following is not true of Beethoven? A. He was a talented composer. B. He was a German musician. C. He was a very nice person. D. He was an eighteeth century composer. 2. Which of the following adjectives does not represented Beethoven's character? A. arrogant B. bad-tempered C. rude D. likeable 3. What can be inferred about Beethoven? A. Mozart gave him musical lessons. B. He was an obedient student. C. He published his first work in his late teens. D. He was quite polite at parties. 4. What did he probably mean saying "There will always be many princes, but there is only one Beethoven"? A. There were many princes at the parties. B. He was special and unique. C. He was superior to princes. D. He was the only musician at the parties. 5. According to the passage, the letter ________. A. were written to the woman he was deeply in love with B. were sent to his beloved C. inspired him to write romantic music D. were written after his death D./ Writing You've bought a pocket calculator.

However, one great British scientist, Michael Faraday, did not make use of mathematics. Faraday, the son of a poor blacksmith, was born in London in 1791 and had no education beyond reading and writing. In 1812, Faraday was hired as a bottle washer by the great chemist Humphy Davy. Later, Faraday became a greater scientist than Davy, making the last years of Davy's life embittered with jealousy. Faraday made the first electric motor in 1821, a device that used electricity to produce movement. Then Faraday became interested in the relationship between electricity and magnetism. In 1831, he discovered that when a magnet is moved near a wire, electricity flows in the wire. With this discovery, he produced a machine for making electricity called dynamo. Faraday then went on to show how electricity affects chemical substances. Because Faraday believed that money should be given to the poor when he grew old, he was very poor. However, Queen Victoria rewarded him for his discoveries by giving him a stipend and a house. He died in 1867. 1. Which of the following statements is not true about Faraday? A.
