after he hears them.He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts.Then he thinks about the notes in his head.Two years ago,he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata(奏鸣曲) by Beethoven.He surprised everyone around him.Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly,his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable.They say his ability is very rare,but Samuel doesnt even realize that what he can do is special.Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents,but music teachers told him he should study music instead.Now,he studies law and music.Samuel cant understand why everyone is so surprised.“I grew up with music.My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar.About two years ago,I suddenly decided to start playing the piano,without being able to read music and without having any lessons.It comes easily to meI hear the notes and can bear them in mindeach and every note,” says Samuel.Recently,Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college.The piece had more than a thousand notes.The audience was impressed by his amazing performance.He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists cant play it.Samuel says confidently,“Its all about super memoryI guess I have that gift.”However,Samuels ability to remember things doesnt stop with music.His family says that even when he was a young boy,Samuel heard someone read a story,and then he could retell the story word for word.Samuel is still only a teenager.He doesnt know what he wants to do in the future.For now,he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies.24.What is special about Samuel Osmond?A.He has a gift for writing music.B.He can write down the note he hears.C.He is
