They cost him a great deal of hard work and he always found it hard to satisfy himself.When he was 28, he began to notice a strange noise in his ears. As it grew worse, he went to see doctors, and was told that he was going deaf. This was too much for any poser to bear. Beethoven was without hope。 he was sure that he was going to die. He went to the countryside where he wrote a long goodbye letter to his brothers, describing how sad and lonely his deafness made him. He longed to die, and said to death, Come when you will。 I shall meet you bravely.In fact, Beethoven did something braver than dying. He gathered his courage and went on writing music, though he could hear what he wrote more and more faintly. He wrote the music for which we remember him best after he became deaf. This music was very different from any that had been posed before. Instead of the artistic and beautiful music that earlier posers had written for their rich listeners, Beethoven wrote stormy, exciting music which reminds us of his troubled and courageous (勇敢的) life. His Heroic (英雄的) Symphony (交響樂) and Fifth Symphony both show his courage in struggling with his fate.In time he went pletely deaf, but he wrote more creatively than ever, for he could hear his music in his mind. He was lonely and often unhappy but in spite of this, he often wrote joyful music, such as his last symphony, the Ninth. Because of his courage and strong will to triumph, his music has given joy and encouragement to millions of people.6.How did Beethoven39。s deafness affect him?A. It killed him.B.

One thinks of the 19thcentury Mormon leader, Brigham Young, with his 55 wives (in those days, they said, women married Young). Devout (虔敬的) Mormons hold that a message from God told Young to go ahead and start collecting wives. Skeptics (懷疑者), of course, say that there was something else to this. In any case, it proved to be an efficient means of enabling Mormons to outnumber skeptics. And in fairness, some of his wives were elderly women whom he married out of kindness and not because he was attracted to them.I find it very curious that Western countries, despite how much they pride themselves for their liberalism (人文自由主義) about what willing adults do with one another, have been slow to permit willing adults to marry each other at a rate more than one at a time.What business is it of the states how many people I marry? And by the way, if one can enter into a mon law marriage by living with someone for seven years, can one enter into a mon law polygamy by living with two? I39。d love to see that test case.But what would it really be like to have multiple spouses? Most men I39。ve asked answer immediately with a knowing smile. And those are the intelligent ones. Their minds immediately create an image something like a sexual (性的) version (看法) of a Hong Kong Sunday lunch, with many dishes to taste.In truth, the idea scares me. I spend half my waking hours trying to deal with my childish consciousness to the civilized state known as marriage. It39。s only by total luck I can hold on to any of my natural stateofnature qualities—watching violent movies, eating bad food, and acting poorly, the way that men can act poorly when free from the control of women
