Mozart, the boy Composer

　　One day in 1761, a little boy sat at a harpsichord (an instrument like a piano) and played music. The people who were listening to him couldn't believe their ears! Even though he was only five years old, he could play better than most grown-ups. This boy was Wolfgang Mozart, and he grew up to be a great composer.

　　Wolfgang was born in Austria and grew up in a house where he heard music all the time. His father was a musician, and he gave Wolfgang music lessons almost as soon as the little boy could talk. Wolfgang learned to play the harpsichord when he was just three years old. Then, one day, when he was six, he picked up a violin. Even though he had never had a lesson, he began to play the violin perfectly. Wolfgang's father saw how talented his son was. So he decided to take Wolfgang on a long trip where many people could hear his boy play.

　　The Mozart traveled over all the countries of Europe. Wolfgang played for kings, queens, and other important people. Other musicians couldn't believe a six-year-old boy could play the harpsichord so well. So they gave Wolfgang very hard music to play. He had never seen the music before, but he played it just right.

　　Wolfgang also became a composer when he was a child. He wrote his first music when he was just five years old. By the time he was ten, he had written five long pieces of music called sym phonies. When Wolfgang grew up, he spent most of his time composing music. Today, people everywhere still love the music made by the amazing boy who grew up to be a great musician.

You and your parents can stop worrying- Edison, Pasteur, Darwin and many others were far from being "bright boys " when they were under twenty. Some of them, in the eyes of their teachers, were day- dreamers or slow pupils. So, young men or women, if you have the same experience, don' t fed disappointed.

It is always the case that parents prefer giving mere inspiring examples to encourage their children. If you take piano lessons and are not practicing hard, your parents might justly complain and show you the famous picture of little Mozart in his night- shirt, playing the piano at midnight. But the fact is that he didn’t appear to have much talent(才干)for music when he was quite young. It was not until 22 that Mozart suddenly became fired with a great liking(愛好)for music.

In the sciences, there have been thousands of people who showed great interest in certain subjects from their earliest years, and hundreds who had no idea of what they would do in the future. The well-known French chemist Pasteur displeased his parents because Louris did nothing but drew pictures and went fishing. Pasteur was twenty years old before he showed any interest in science. You have the Wright brothers, who showed great talent in engineering when they were quite young. And you have Thomas Edi-son, whose teacher tried to get him out of the class because his brain was often confused. You have the Nobel Prize Physicist Enrico Fermi, who at 17, had read enough mathematics for a doctor's degree. But there is also Charles Darwin, who hated to go to school when he was young. His farther was once so angry and shouted, "You care for nothing but shooting dogs and rat - catching. You will put your parents to shame."

So who knows what might happen in the future? It is, of course, better for the young people to know what they want to do in life . But they needn’t despair if they don ' t . There is still plenty of time and it’s never too later for success.

1. Before the age of 20, Pasture, Darwin and Edison__________.

A. were very interested in their future work .

B. were far from showing their talents .

C. showed early promise(有成功的希望)

D. failed in school.

2. To encourage their children parents are likely to give them__________

A. very excited examples        

B. real examples

C. some false examples          

D. extremely(非常) good examples

3. At the age of 22 Mozart________

A. was accidentally wounded by a fire 

B. suddenly become a great musician

C. started to play the piano at midnight  

D. became greatly interested in music

4. Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage?

A. Most successful adults are failures before the age of 22.

B. Early schooling is not important for later success.

C. People who show no signs of great talent when they are young might turn out to be greatly successful as adults.

D. People who show signs of great success when they are young might turn out to be failures as adults.

5. Young people should not despair (喪失信心) if they are not successful because________.
