Good morning, dear children

Good morning to all.

To this day, no one knows for sure who wrote the new words to Hill’s melody(旋律),or exactly when it happened. “Happy Birthday to You” first appeared in a songbook in1924.The words were presented as the second stanza(節(jié)) to "Good morning to You".

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中句子it was originally (起初) named“Good Morning to All”, and intended as a classroom greeting from teachers to students: 可知，這首歌最初被命名為“大家早上好”，并作為教師和學(xué)生的課堂問候語。故答案為C。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)推斷題。根據(jù)文中句子To this day, no one knows for sure who wrote the new words to Hill’s melody(旋律),or exactly when it happened. 可知，沒有人確切的知道是誰和什么時(shí)間寫的這首歌的旋律，排除A,B答案，故答案選C。
