　　Beethoven And Lennon

　　Ludwig Van Beethoven1 was one of the greatestmusicians in the 19 th century.John Lennon2 wasone of the greatest musicians in the 20 th century.Although there is a period of about 200 yearsbetween them,they are quite similar in certain ways.

　　Both men expressed the spirit of their time in theirmusic.Beethoven lived in the period of risingcapitalism.At that time,people were trying to break the shackles of feudalism3 ,and theywere pursuing freedom,equality,and universal love.This social trend,especially the Frenchrevolution,greatly inspired Beethoven.His music was very active,passionate,and vigorous.Some of his works praised heroism,some conveyed the love for nature,and some extolled4harmony among people.Similarly,Lennon's music revealed his time.In the 1960s and 1970 s,the youth in America were deeply frustrated by the discrimination and injustice in the societyand were longing to build a new one.Most of Lennon's songs expressed the ideas of theyouth.In one of his songs entitled Imagine,he sings,"Imagine all the people ,living underpeace",and "The world will be united together as one".These words show his anti-war attitudeand his hope for peace ,and reflect the spirit of the 60s and 70 s.

　　Both men were social rebels to some extent.They refused to bow to social conventions andpower.Beethoven was a devoted republican.When Napoleon5 was in power,who claimed to bea defender of republicanism,Beethoven admired him so much that he dedicated his SymphonyNo.3,the theme of which is heroism,to him.But then Napoleon crowned6 himself and becamean emperor.Beethoven was so angry that he openly declared he took back what he had saidabout Napoleon,regardless of possible persecution.Lennon was also considered a trouble-maker by the authorities because of his support for youth movements.For a time he was noteven allowed to give public performances.But he ignored all this and stuck to his belief.

　　What most people don't realize is that wealth isn't the same as income.If you make $ 1 million a year and spend $ 1 million,you're not getting wealthier,you're just living high.Wealth is what you accumulate,not what you spend.

　　The most successful accumulators of wealth spend far less than they can afford on houses,cars,vacations and entertainment.Why? Because these things offer little or no return.The wealthy would rather put their money into investments or their businesses.It's an attitude.

　　Millionaires understand that when you buy a luxury house,you buy a luxury life –style too.Your property taxes skyrocket,along with the cost of utilities and insurance,and the prices of nearby services,such as grocery stores,tend to be higher.

　　The rich man's attitude can also be seen in his car.Many drive old unpretentious sedans.Sam Walton,billionaire founder of the Wal – Mart Store,Inc.,drove a pickup truck.

　　Most millionaires measure success by net worth,not income.Instead of taking their money home,they plow as much as they can into their businesses,stock portfolios and other assets.Why? Because the government doesn't tax wealth; it taxes income you bring home for consumption,the more the government taxes.

　　The person who piles up net worth fastest tends to put every dollar he can into investments,not consumption.All the while,of course,he's reinvesting his earnings from investments and watching his net worth soar.That's the attitude as well.

　　The best wealth-builders pay careful attention to their money and seek professional advice.Those who spend heavily on cars,boats and buses,I've found,tend to skimp on investment advice.Those who skimp on the luxuries are usually more willing to pay top dollar for good legal and financial advice.

　　The self-made rich develop clear goals for their money.They may wish to retire early,or they may want to leave an estate to their children.The goals vary,but two things are consistent: they have a dollar figure in mind-the amount they want to save by age 50,perhaps – and they work unceasingly toward that goal.

　　One thing may surprise you.If you make wealth – not just income – your goal,the luxury house you've been dreaming about won't seem so alluring.You'll have the attitude.

　　1.Which of the following statements is true?

　　A.Wealth is judged according to the life style one has.

　　B.Inheritance builds an important part in one's wealth.

　　C.High income may make one live high and get rich t the same time.

　　D.Wealth is more of what one has made than anything else.

　　2.By the author's opinion,those who spend money on luxury houses and cars_____.

　　A.will not be taxed by the government

　　B.have accumulated wealth in another sense

　　C.live high and have little saved

　　D.can show that they are among the rich

　　3.The rich put their money into business because_____.

　　A.they can get much in return to build their wealth

　　B.they are not interested in luxury houses and cars

　　C.their goal is to develop their company

　　D.that is the only way to spend money yet not to be taxed by the government

　　4.The U.S.government doesn't tax what you spend money on _____.

　　A.cars Bhouses C.stock D.boats

　　5.To become wealthy,one should______.

　　A.seek as much income as he can

　　B.work hard unceasingly

　　C.stick to the way he lives

　　D.save up his earnings

　　答案:DCACB

　　The word religion is derived from the Latin noun religio,which denotes both earnest observance of ritual obligations and an inward spirit of reverence.In modern usage,religion covers a wide spectrum of meaning that reflects the enormous variety of ways the term can be interpreted.At one extreme,many committed believers recognize only their own tradition as a religion,understanding expressions such as worship and prayer to refer exclusively to the practices of their tradition.Although many believers stop short of claiming an exclusive status for their tradition,they may nevertheless use vague or idealizing terms in defining religion for example,true love of God,or the path of enlightenment.At the other extreme,religion may be equated with ignorance,fanaticism,or wishful thinking.

　　By defining religion as a sacred engagement with what is taken to be a spiritual reality,it is possible to consider the importance of religion in human life without making claims about what it really is or ought to be.Religion is not an object with a single,fixed meaning,or even a zone with clear boundaries.It is an aspect of human experience that may intersect,incorporate,or transcend other aspects of life and society.Such a definition avoid the drawbacks of limiting the investigation of religion to Western or biblical categories such as monotheism (belief in one god only) or to church structure,which are not universal.For example,in tribal societies,religion unlike the Christian church usually is not a separate institution but pervades the whole of public and private life.

　　In Buddhism,gods are not as central as the idea of a Buddha.In many traditional cultures,the idea of a sacred cosmic order is the most prominent religious belief.Because of this variety,some scholars prefer to use a general term such as the sacred to designate the common foundation of religious life.

　　Religion in this understanding includes a complex of activities that cannot be reduced to any single aspect of human experience.It is a part of individual life but also of group dynamics.Religion includes patterns of behavior but also patterns of language and thought.It is sometimes a highly organized institution that sets itself apart from a culture,and it is sometimes an integral part of a culture.Religious experience may be expressed in visual symbols,dance and performance,elaborate philosophical systems,legendary and imaginative stories,formal ceremonies,and detailed rules of ethical conduct and law.Each of these elements assumes innumerable cultural forms.In some ways there are as many forms of religious expression as there are human cultural environments.

　　1.What is the passage mainly concerned about?

　　A.Religion has a variety of interpretation.

　　B.Religion is a reflection of ignorance.

　　C.Religion is not only confined to the Christian categories.

　　D.Religion includes all kinds of activities.

　　2.What does the word “observance” probably convey in Para.1?

　　A.notice

　　B.watching

　　C.conformity

　　D.experience

　　3.According to the passage what people generally consider religion to be?

　　A.Fantastic observance
