Imagine a life without hearing. It would seem difficult for most people, but not for Beethoven(贝多芬).
Beethoven was born in a small city in Europe in 1770. He was talented and began performing in front of people when he was nine years old. And he met the great musician Mozart in 1787. Mozart encouraged him to become a great musician.
He later became a composer(作曲家) and was very famous and rich. But it was exactly this time, his life was changed. A sound in his ears began to trouble him. 59.那声音是如此之大以致于他不能听见音乐。When he was 26 years old, he began to lose hearing.
He went to many doctors but nothing worked. Because he couldn't hear what people said, he began to talk in another way. His friends wrote down what they wanted to say. He communicated with them with pen and paper.60.Beethoven wrote hundreds of pieces of music in his lifetime. Many people feel that his best work is his Ninth Symphony (交响曲)，in which the Ode to Joy(欢乐颂) is the most famous part. When it was first played in Vienna, Italy, people were amazed by the spirit of freedom(自由) expressed in the music. The audiences (观众) even cheered for him for more than five times. Even today, his great music is still spreading the spirit of freedom all over the world.
