IV. Read the second part of the text and answer the questions.
Beethoven
There are three main periods in Beethoven’s music career: early, middle and late.
The beginning of his early period was in 1792 when he moved to Vienna, Austria. Beethoven quickly
made a name for himself as a talented pianist. His compositions during this period consisted mainly of
works for his main instrument, the piano, and were classical in nature. However, Beethoven’s hearing was
beginning to deteriorate during this period, and he tried to hide this fact from those around him.
In 1800, Beethoven turned from the classical forms of the previous century to a more expressive or
romantic music. His musical imagination began to grow beyond that of the piano. The middle period was
believed to be Beethoven’s greatest and most productive stage. In less than a decade, he produced
countless masterpieces in every genre.
In 1809, however, his musical creativity began to decline, possibly due to his health problems and mental
state. Beethoven stopped conducting and performing in public, but continued to compose – many of his
most admired works were created during this period. By 1815, he was almost completely deaf and his
manners became increasingly rude. In 1827, he died after a long illness. Nearly 20,000 people lined the
streets of Vienna to pay their last respect to the composer who had changed the music scene of Western
Europe.

II. Read the text about urbanisation and choose the best title.
Urbanisation programmes are being carried out in many parts of the world, especially in densely
populated regions with limited land and resources. It is the natural outcome of economic development and
industrialisation. It has brought a lot of benefits to our society. However, it also poses various problems for
local authorities and town planners in the process of maintaining sustainable urbanisation, especially in
developing countries.
When too many people cram into a small area, urban infrastructure can't be effective.There will be
a lack of livable housing, energy and water supply. This will create overcrowded urban districts with no
proper facilities.
Currently, fast urbanisation is taking place predominantly in developing countries where
sustainable urbanisation has little relevance to people's lives. Their houses are just shabby slums with poor
sanitation. Their children only manage to get basic education. Hence, the struggle for survival is their first
priority rather than anything else. Only when the quality of their existence is improved, can they seek for
other high values in their life.
Thus, sustainable urbanisation in different regions should start from different levels. For more
developed regions, the focus could be on achieving a more sustainable urban life. But for less developed
regions, urban development should really start with the provision of the basic human needs such as
sufficient energy, clean water, housing with proper sanitation, and access to effective social infrastructure.

If you want to make your school green, think beyond your classrooms. Here are some suggestions that are
all easy and simple to follow, and can make a big difference in reducing your carbon footprint and creating
a sustainable community.
One of the places where both teachers and students often spend some of their time is the library. An ecofriendly reading space is likely to create a favourable impression on library users, and bring some
significant educational benefits. For example, you can install energy-saving products like fans instead of
air-conditioners which consume a lot of energy. You can also use biodegradable dust cloths or old T-shirts
to clean the environment. In addition, to raise public awareness, allocate a clearly visible space on the
noticeboard for everyday green tips like 'Let others reuse your book'.
Sporty students may prefer to spend more time in the swimming pool than in the library.
Therefore, keeping this place safe and green v also help to raise their environmental awarem Remember
that chlorinated pool water may cause red eyes and itchy skin to some people if they spend much time in
the pool. An ideal alternative would be a salt-water pool, which can be naturally clean and economical. In
cas< warm water is required, think of solar heating save the environment as one pool with gas or electric
heater may emit tons of carbon dioxic each year.
Finally, focus on the school gym, which is perhaps the most interactive and exciting pla for all school
staff. Think of installing low-flov taps and showers to save gallons of water per minute and energy-saving
lights to cut the cost of electricity. Moreover, make sure that tl airflow pathways are clear and free of
mould, mildew and other allergens.
