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 Kinder-garten（幼兒園）, and Dr Patty Hill, the principal（院長，負(fù)責(zé)人）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（專長）in the area of Kin-dergarten 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（確定）, 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（商業(yè)的）purposes.
(1)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
(2)Mr Coleman published the song and added a second verse in ________.
[ ]
(3)What does the underlined word “soured”probably mean?
[ ]
A．Had an unpleasant taste.
B．Got angry easily.
C．Became unpleasant.
D．Turned out well.
(4)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.

Learning Chinese has been like climbing a steep(陡峭的)mountain.
My mother was born in Tokyo,while my father moved from Shanghai to Hong Kong when he was seven years old. At home we speak English. I know some basic Chinese customs :to use chosticks gracefully (得體地)and what to say on Spring Festival to get a red envelope. But I never truly learned to speak Chinese.
Why should I need to learn the language ,anyway? I live in America where everyone speaks English.
I realized I was wrong in ninth grade when I arrived at Philips Academy,a famous boarding school in Massachusetts.The school encourages a global outlook(視野). There I decided to welcome the opportunity to learn Chinese. I met other American-born Chinese and together we spoke Ching-lish outside of the classroom.
I searched for ways to access Chinese culture through dramas such as Meteor Garden (《流星花園》)and music by singers such as S.H.E,Wilbur Pan and Jasmine Leung（梁靜茹）. Listening to Chinese music is where I found my favorite singer in the whole world:Jay Chou. Even if I cannot understand what he is crooning（哼唱）, I do feel more Chinese whenever I listen to his music.
Last summer I spent five weeks in China,four of which were taking a language course at a Beijing high school. I was proud when I could understand the dialogue in Intitial D（《頭文字D》） and when I could easily translate Fairy Tale sung by Kong Leung（光良）.
Learning Chinese has been a rocky trek（艱苦跋涉）, and I know it will continue to be that way before I arrive at a relative plateau（高地） of fluency（流利）.I hope that one day I will be able to work and maybe even live in China as a true Chinese.
