Celebrities often have their own extraordinary life stories about their childhoods and their dramatic rises to fame. And here we have one example: Ella Fitzgerald,a girl from Harlem who became one of the most celebrated female jazz singer of the 20th century.
Bom in Newport News,Virginia in 1917,Ella didn，t want to be a singer at first. At 17,she entered a contest with a dream of becoming a professional dancer. But watching other dancers perform,Ella changed her mind right before going on stage ^ this was a turning point in her life^ She performed as a singer and won first prize.

Together they produced many hit songs,including “A-Tisket,A-Tasket/' which became Ella* s' first million-record seller. She also had a striking ability to make her voice imitate other musical instruments. This special talent made Ella begin to shine as she helped to pioneer a style called “scat” in the early 1940s. Scat,or wordless singing,uses random vocal sounds to copy the sounds of real musical instruments. Basically,scat singing is replacing the lyrics of a song with such nonsense syllables as “do be do be dos” while it keeps the tune (曲调) . Ella was a master of scat,elevating the style to a form of art.
After Webb's death,Ella continued her active singing career,touring with different jazz orchestras throughout the world. Celebrated as the top female singer of her time,she sold more than 40 million records. Ella received numerous awards and honors for her outstanding performance and talent. She died in 1996,but her music lives on,enchanting generations of jazz lovers.

C
Hip-hop music doesn’t typically remind us of the description “kid-friendly”. But Syracuse musicians Samar Moseley and Tyrone Jackson have found inspiration in their work as bus drivers for the Syracuse City School District. While other performers may rap about street violence or ill-gotten riches,this pair — known as 1306 — apply catchy beats to cautionary raps on bus safety and working toward graduation.
Last year,1306 put out a three-song record,Mr. Bus Driver,with positive raps on school-related issues. They also performed at city schools. In an interview,Moseley said that he thought 1306 could find a sizable market for its positive messages. Moseley is the songwriter while Jackson handles the beats and engineering. The pair,who started driving buses in 2011,are enthusiastic about what the foture holds.
They met during their bus driver training. The name 1306 came from Moseley's Bus Route 13 and Jackson's Bus Route 06. The concept behind that is going down a new journey and taking a new route to success. The first songs they did were club songs. One day,they both had a bad day on the bus,so they started talking about what happened and came up with the Mr. Bus Driver song.
“Driving a school bus isn’t an easy job. You have to let kids on the bus know that there are rules they should follow. The best way to teach something is to make it constructive and fun. Kids can learn the rules and have fun singing songs and dancing. It's a good feeling,” Jackson said. .
Their CDs have now become popular in other states. In Minneapolis,people play them in day care centers. After more than a year,1306 is still the only thing the kids in the centers want to listen to.
9. What makes 1306 different from other rappers?
A. Their club songs.
B. Their sunny smiles.
C. Their special experiences.
D. The themes of their songs.
10. Why did Moseley and Jackson choose the name 1306?
A. It was their new bus route number.
B. It combined their bus route numbers.
C. It reminded them of their bad days.
D. It is the combination of their birthday dates.
11. What's the purpose of 1306’s songs according to Jackson?
A. To comfort bored drivers.
B. To make kids learn music.
C. To teach people how to drive.
D. To help,kids behave themselves.
12. How is the last paragraph developed?
A. By time. B. By contrast.
C. By example. D. By space.
