W: Thank you.
M: Now your blood pressure. I'd like you to slip off your coat and roll up your sleeve. Mm, fix this around your arm here. That's it.
W: Is it normal?
M: No, it isn't. Your blood pressure is rather high.
W: Really? I'm worried, doctor. I've heard all sorts of things about people with hypertension. You get heart attacks, strokes. That won't happen to me, will it?
M: No, it won't. Now, let's finish the rest of the examination and then we'll check the pressure again. Would you sit up a little straight and roll up your shirt, so I can check your heart and lungs? Fine. Just breathe normally. Turn on your left side, facing away from me, please. Good. Now I'd like you to take deep breaths in and out through your mouth. Again, give a cough please. A couple of more times. Good. Now let's have a look at your blood pressure again.
W: How is it now, doctor?
M: Still high. I can't find anything else wrong. It may be that the high blood pressure caused your nosebleed.
W: What shall I do?
M: I'll do a few more things to see if we can get to the bottom of the problem. I'll check your blood and urine. Then I'll send you up to the hospital for a chest X-ray and a cardiogram. In the meantime, carry on as normal and I'll see you in a week's time.
W: Thank you very much, doctor.

When he was 28, the worst difficulty of all came to him. He began to notice a strange humming in his ears. At first he paid little attention, but it grew worse, and at last he consulted doctors. They gave him the worst news any musician can hear: he was gradually going deaf. Beethoven was in despair, he was sure that he was going to die.
He went away to the country, to a place called Heiligenstadt, and from there he wrote a long farewell letter to his brothers. In this letter he told them how depressed and lonely his deafness had made him. "It was impossible for me to ask men to speak louder or shout, for I am cleat," he wrote. "How could I possibly admit an infirmity (残废) in the one sense (hearing) which should have been more perfect in me than in others...? I must live like an exile." 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 only more and more faintly. He wrote his best music, the music we remember him for, after he became deaf. The music he wrote was very different from any that had been composed before. Instead of the elegant and stately music that earlier musicians had written for their wealthy listeners, Beethoven wrote stormy, exciting, revolutionary music, which reminds us of his troubled and courageous life. He grew to admire courage more than anything, and he called one of his symphonies the Eroica or Heroic Symphony to celebrate the memory of a great man. Describing the dramatic opening notes of his famous Fifth Symphony, he said, "Thus fate knocks on the door."
In time Beethoven went completely deaf, He was lonely and often unhappy, but in spite of this, he often wrote joyful music. In his last symphony, the Ninth, a choir sings a wonderful Hymn of Joy. Because of his courage and determination to overcome his terrible disaster, his music has given joy and inspiration to millions of people.
In the first paragraph we are told that Beethoven found that writing great music ______.
A.was easy
B.was difficult
C.was straightforward
D.easily satisfied him

Jimmy Gates was a circus owner. Last Christmas, he decided to take some gifts. He went to a children’s hospital. He was dressed up as Father Christmas. Six pretty girls accompanied him. Then, he set off. He rode a baby elephant. He went down the main street of the city. The elephant was called Jumbo. The police would not allow him to do this. He should know that. A policeman came over. He told Jimmy. He should go along a side street. Jumbo was holding up the traffic. Jimmy agreed to go at once. Jumbo would not like to go. Fifteen policemen pushed hard. They wanted to move him away from the main street. The police had a difficult time. They felt interesting. A policeman afterwards said, “Jumbo must be a few tons. It was lucky that we needn’t carry him. Certainly, we should arrest him. He has a good record. We shall forgive him this time.”
