【解析】贝多芬是一个著名的音乐家，他从不惧怕表露他的真实感受。一次他在一个富人家里演奏的时候，其中的一个听众总是跟他身边的女孩们聊天。贝多芬很生气，他停止了演奏，离开了。

1.根据短文中Once when he was playing at a rich man’s house, one of the listeners, a man of good family, was talking to a girl. He liked girls more than music可知，贝多芬是演奏音乐的人，他是一个音乐家，因此这句话是正确的。

2.根据短文中Once when he was playing at a rich man’s house, one of the listeners, a man of good family, was talking to a girl.可知，这个男人来自一个很好、很富裕的家庭，不是poor，故这句话是错误的。

3.根据短文中He liked girls more than music, and he didn’t stop talking when Beethoven started to play.可知，从贝多芬开始演奏，那个男人就没有停止过说话。由此可知这句话是正确的。

4.根据短文中He liked girls more than music可知，这个男人对女孩比对音乐更感兴趣。由此可知这句话是正确的。

5.根据短文中The music stopped in the middle and Beethoven stood up. “I don’t play for animals of this kind!” he cried.可知，因为那个男人老是在谈话，贝多芬在演奏中间停止了，他不想为这样的动物演奏音乐。由此可知这句话是错误的。

点睛：这篇短文给我们讲述了关于贝多芬的一件轶事。短文内容短小，语言精练，比较容易理解。第一句话即是文章的中心句，下文通过一个具体事例介绍了贝多芬是如何不害怕表露他的感受的。题目是判断题，需要我们根据文章的一些细节进行判断。因此做题的时候，我们应先读懂题目中句子的意思，然后回到原文相关的部分进行判断。例如第2小题，短文第二行告诉我们这个听众来自一个很富裕的家庭，good family，而不是poor family，所以这句话是错误的。
