听力原文: Ludwig Van Beethoven was born in Bonn in 1770. Beethoven's first lessons for piano and violin were from his father. He also studied with Haydon. In 1792 Beethoven came to Vienna, where he decided to stay and try to make a career for himself. In summer months he liked to spend as much time as possible away from the bustle of Vienna. He enjoyed his stays in villages around the city. He liked the peaceful and simple life of the countryside. It was there that he composed both the Fifth and Sixth Symphonies.
Beethoven sympathized with republican ideas. He took great interest in the French Revolution and the birth of the French Republic. He admired its leader, Napoleon, and intended to dedicate his Third or Eroica Symphony to him. However when he was told that Napoleon had crowned himself emperor, the composer was disgusted and changed his mind.
As 1809 drew to its close, Beethoven produced several major works. In May 1809 Haydon died. There was no one to challenge Beethoven to be the musical king of Vienna. At the end of 1813, the Seventh Symphony was performed for the first time.
Beethoven's last years were marked by illness on the one hand and monumental masterpieces on the other. His deafness made it impossible to conduct his works or even perform. any more. Between 1819 and 1823 he composed his Ninth Symphony and some more piano sonatas. Those, together with the late string quartets, were the last works from this great man.

The Interaction of Body and Mind
The concept of psychosomatic illness
Psycho, refers to mind, and soma, to body. Psychosomatic illness is the occurrence of bodily symptoms(症状) which are psychological or emotional in origin.
Mind and body are not separate; one affects and is affected by the other. Who has not experienced some physical manifestation of emotional stress? Such experiences as a headache after a quarrel and urinary frequency or diarrhea before an examination are not uncommon, and for most people they are of a temporary nature. The symptoms disappear and are forgotten after the crisis has passed. No treatment may be needed, or the patient may use simple remedies to relieve the discomfort. One person may find that a leisurely walk is the best cure for a headache; another may take aspirin.
Certain conditions have been considered classic examples of psychosomatic illness: pepticulcer, eczema, colitis, and asthma. Personality profiles have been developed to describe the typical characteristics of persons who develop such illness. Another point of view is that human beings are more complex and varied in their responses than such profiles would indicate, and that the type of illness a patient develops in relation to stress varies with many additional factors, such as heredity and environment. Much remains to be learned about the relationship between stress and physical illness.
Physical symptoms, such as palpitation, sweating, or disturbance of sleep, which reflect anxiety, may occur over a prolonged period. The symptoms may seem mysterious and threatening, because the patient is unaware of their cause. The patient whose heart beats more rapidly and forcefully as a manifestation of anxiety may report this symptom to his doctor, believing that something is wrong with his heart. Often the patient is not aware that he is anxious. He knows only that his heart keeps pounding for no apparent reason.
Almost any symptom can have its origin in emotional stress. Some patients almost invariably have the same stress when they become anxious. One may have diarrhea, another asthma, and a third may develop hives or eczema. Some people develop two or several different symptoms; often the symptoms are experienced in an alternating fashion.
The development of bodily symptoms is only one manifestation of anxiety. It may show up also symptoms that are primarily mental, such as the inability to concentrate or to remember. Such symptom too, vary in degree. Many people occasionally experience symptoms like moodiness or depression. When such symptoms are severe or long- lasting, they interfere with the functioning of individual in daily life and with his relationship with others.
Sometimes a person subconsciously develops an illness as a way of handling a desperate need, such as the need for affection. The only real cure is to satisfy the primary desire. An example is a woman who has pain in her heart, not because of organic heart disease, but because the symptom is a way of gaining, if only temporarily, the love and attention for which she longs. Her husband cannot leave her when she is so sick; her children are concerned. Her pain is just as severe as if it had a physical cause.
The reality of psychosomatic illness
Is the patient with psychosomatic illness really sick, or does he merely imagine he is sick? Many people, including the families of patients and members of the health professions, believe that physical illness which is influenced by emotional stress is less real, or wholly imaginary. Acknowledging the reality of the patients' illness is important; it is the first step in helping him.
Patients with psychosomatic illness are likely to be neglected. The same staff who give excellent care to other patients, not uncommonly ignore them. Some possible reasons may include the use of the term psycho as a prefix. Perhaps this conveys the idea
