The story of how the song “Happy Birthday to You” came into being, began as a sweet one, which later soured. Two sisters, Mildred Hill, a teacher at the Louisville, Kentucky Experimental Kindergarten, and Dr. Patty Hill, the principal of the same school, together wrote a song for the children, entitled “Good Morning to All”. When Mildred combined her musical talents with her sister’s expertise in the area of Kindergarten Education, “Good Morning to All” was sure to be a success. The sisters published the song in a collection entitled “Song Stories of the Kindergarten” in 1893. Twenty-one years later, after Dr. Patty Hill became the head of the Department of Kindergarten Education at Columbia University’s Teacher College, a gentleman by the name of Robert H. Coleman published the song, without the sisters’ permission. To add insult(侮辱) to injury, he added a second verse, the familiar “Happy Birthday to You”.
Mr. Coleman’s addition of the second verse popularized the song and, finally, the sisters’ original first verse disappeared. “Happy Birthday to You”, the one and only birthday song, had altogether replaced the sisters’ original title, “Good Morning to All”.
After Mildred died in 1916, Patty, together with a third sister named Jessica, took Mr. Coleman to court. In court, they proved that they, indeed, owned the melody(曲調(diào)). Because the family legally owns the song, it is entitled to royalties(版稅) from it, whenever it is sung for commercial purposes.
59. The first verse of the song was written for ______.
A. Patty Hill’s children
B. Mildred Hill’s children
C. Mr. Coleman’s students
D. the students in a kindergarten
60. Mr. Coleman published the song and added a second verse in ______.
A. 1893 B. 1914 C. 1916 D. 1926

A. Had an unpleasant taste. B. Got angry easily.
C. Became unpleasant. D. Turned out well.
62. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. With permission from the Hill sisters, Mr. Coleman published the song and added a second verse to the song.
B. The second verse made the song popular and, at last, the first verse disappeared.
C. Patty and Jessica took Robert H. Coleman to court after Mildred died.
D. The Hill’s family legally owns the melody.
C
He is only 20 years old, but has already had five years of experience in the world of entertainment. He is Edison Chan(陳冠希).
Edison Chan has attracted much attention since joining entertainment circles. His attractive appearance has certainly helped, but he’s also received help from heavyweights like the Chairman of Emperor Entertainment Albert Yueng and superstar Jackie Chan. Even late movie and pop idol(偶像) Leslie Cheung (張國(guó)榮) once wrote songs for him.
With such support, Edison slid easily into the industry - singing, acting and filming in commercials. He soon became one of Hong Kong’s most popular rising stars. His big break came with his performance in “Infernal Affairs”. Another milestone was “Twins Effect”, which took over 15 million Hong Kong dollars in its opening week.
Edison had always dreamt of being a basketball player, but he was forced by his father to model and act from an early age. When he was 15 years old, he shot a commercial with Hong Kong superstar Leon Lai（黎明）, which attracted the attention of Emperor Entertainment.
But not satisfied with acting alone, Edison has turned his hand to singing. He is finding time between shoots to make his album and music video. He said he thoroughly enjoys himself when he’s busy working.
This young boy said, “I think that now I can better understand what it is to be an actor and know more about the media(媒體). I’ve changed a lot since I first entered the circle. Therefore I will try my best to keep up a good relationship with the media. But they should know there are always some things I can’t say. Sometimes they say things that aren’t true, but I don’t care. I hope they can realize I’m also an ordinary person. ”
With this “I don’t care” attitude, Edison has built his career on his public image of being a cool, bad boy.
63. Which of the following is NOT the reason for Edison Chan’s success?
A. His good looks.
B. The help from some famous people.
C. His own efforts.
D. His young age.
64. What can we learn about Edison Chan from the passage?
A. He wanted to be an actor as a young boy.
B. He doesn’t like singing.
C. He doesn’t care what the media says.
D. He is a bad boy.
65. What is the best title for the passage?
A. The Secret of Edison Chan’s Success
B. Idol of Today in Entertainment World: Edison Chan
C. I Don’t Care
D. Edison Chan and Media
