Read the second part of the text and answer the questions 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

Read the text about urbanisation and choose the best title A Urbanisation history
B Causes and effects of urbanisation
C Challenges of sustainable urbanisation 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

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 soend some of their time is the library An eco-friendly 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’

Finally, focus on the school gym, which is
