1．As the saying goes，"Without music，life would be a mistake." Music is very important in our lives and here are four of the greatest musicians in history.
Ludwig van Beethoven（1770-1827）
Born in Bonn，Germany，Beethoven never held an official position in Vienna.He supported himself by giving concerts，teaching piano，and the sale of his compositions（作曲）.The last 30 years of Beethoven's life were filled with a lot of hard times，the first of which was his deafness.Beethoven's music greatly influenced the next generation of musicians.
Johann Sebastian Bach（1685-1750）
Bach，"the father of modern music" ，was born in Eisenach，Germany.His parents died when he was nine years old，and in 1695 he went to live with his brother Johann Christoph，who was an organist（琴手）in Ohrdruf.He stayed there until 1700.Seven years later，he moved back to Weimar，where he served as court（宮廷）organist for nine years.His music greatly influenced classical music.
Frederic Chopin（1810-1849）
Chopin was born in Zelazowa Wola，Poland.He showed a talent for the piano at a very young age.Chopin began composing when he was still a child，but some of his early works have been lost.He gave his first public concert in 1818.Chopin was considered as the leading musician of his time.
Franz Schubert（1797-1828）

2．Ireland has long been known，for its strange slang（俚語） words and unusual use of the English language.One expression--- "the Jacks" --- has long been used to describe the common ，everyday toilet.Every Irish person knows what this term（術(shù)語） means，but few know why they use it.In fact，it's difficult to find a dependable explanation.There are different stories behind this term，and one of them goes like this.
While Thomas Crapper is commonly known for inventing the first flushing （沖水的） toilet in the late1800s，the first ever multi-cubicle （多隔間的） toilet dates back to 1806 to an Irish inventor by the name of Jack Power.
Jack Power，a father of 38 children，was the first person in the world to develop a separate（獨立的） cubicle.
Due to the size of his family，Jack had to create something to meet their needs of using the toilet at the same time ，So he built large outhouse with five separate toilets.Following its success at home，Jack went on to produce cubicles for businesses and soon became very rich.
In 1811，Jack Power was named as one of Ireland's richest businessmen，but the fame and wealth soon brought something unpleasant.
Jack patented （取得專利權(quán)） his multiple toilet system and insisted on calling it a "MultiPoo"，but the people of Ireland preferred "Jacks" instead a term first used by his children.This made Jack unhappy because he never liked his name having anything to do with going to the toilet.The more he insisted，the more people called the cubicle system the Jacks，and this even passed on to single cell toilets.
Unable to stand （忍受） what the Irish people had done ，Jack later changed his name and moved to the UK with his family.There he began inventing new toilet systems and became the world's leading producer of toilet systems，which are still in operation today.
Whether this story is true or not is still open to question.All we can say for sure is that in Ireland today ，the Jacks is still a term used to describe a toilet.

A．The story of Thomas Crapper.
B．His interest in doing creative work.
C．His dream of succeeding in business.
D．The needs of his unusually big family.
（2）Who first called Jack's toilet system Jacks？
A．Jack himself.
B．Jack's children.
C．The Irish people.
D．Thomas Crapper.
（3）Why did Jack leave his home country？
A．He was made fun of by the Irish people.
B．He wanted to try his toilet systems elsewhere.
C．He accepted a job in a world leading company.
D．He didn't like his name being related to toilets.
（4）What is the text mainly about？
