Unit 3　 第四课时 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Today, at 28, the young German Violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter is at the top. “She gives radiance(光辉)to the music，” wrote Geoffrey Norris in The Daily Telegraph, London. Mutter was also one of the worlds youngest professors. Born in Rheinfelden on June 29, 1963, Anne-Sophie grew up in Wehr, a small town just five kilometers from the Swiss border. Her father, Kad Wilhelm Mutter, and her mother, Gerlinde, considered music lessons part of a good education. Thus, their first son, Andreas, began practicing the violin at eight, and his younger brother, Christoph, had piano lessons. It came as no surprise when Anne-Sophie has always had a mind of her own.“I longed to play the violin，” she says. “It seemed to me a much more interesting instrument.” After six months, her parents gave in. The famous violin teacher Erna Honigberger, who lived nearby, became Anne-Sophies tutor(家庭教师). After only nine months of lessons, she entered the six-year-old in a nationwide competition for young musicians. With Christoph accompanying her(为她伴奏)on the piano, Anne-Sophie won the first prize. In 1974, Erna Honigberger died. Anne-Sophies new teacher was Aida Stucki. She taught Anne-Sophie to develop her own ideas on how a piece should be played, not just to imitate(模仿) others. This is one of the violinists strongest most distinctive characteristics(与众不同的特点)today. Though the Mutters were short of money at times, they limited their daughters performances to one or two a year. “We are glad we went the family road，” says her father.“No outsider(外人)can ever have an effect on our daughters career(生涯)or push her into playing more concerts than she wants to.” Later she was allowed to give six to eight concerts a year and make some recordings. Only when she turned 18 did she begin her professional career. 1．Anne-Sophies career dates back to________.
