    Elvis Presley,who was one of the most popular American singers of the twentieth century, made the Rock & Roll music popular around the world. He sold millions of records and made many successful films, and he helped change the direction of popular music in the 1960s.

    Elvis Presley was born in a poor family in 1935. His parents were simple country people who often took him to church, where he learned to sing and he never forgot the kind of songs that he used to sing in church as a child.

    When he was a teenager, Elvis moved from Tupelos to Memphis in Tennessee, where he attended high school, but he was not a good student. His only real interest was singing. He began to sing in the style that is called “country and western”.

    In 1955 he recorded some songs for his mother's birthday. The people at the recording studio liked his singing and his music. There was something different about it. It was country and western music, but it also sounded a little like the music, which black people used to sing in the American South, music known as “blues”.

    Shortly after that, Elvis met Tom Parker, who became his manager and arranged(安排)concerts for him across the United States and new recordings as well. Soon Elvis rose to fame all over the country. Later, Elvis went to Hollywood and began to appear in films like Love Me Tender and King Creole.

    But Elvis found it hard to live with success, like many other entertainment personalities (娱乐圈内的人士) .He began to take drugs and his health began to suffer. When he died at an early age of 42 in 1977, his many millions of fans were shocked. “The King Is Dead!” the newspaper said. But today his memory and his music live on and he will always be remembered as the King of Rock & Roll.

    1.Judging from the passage, we may conclude____ .

    A. Elvis forgot his church music at a later age

    B. his church songs helped his development in his singing

    C. Elvis didn't get any help from his parents in singing

    D. his church songs didn't help develop his own style

    2.What was Elvis’s style of singing like most probably?

    A. Only country and western.

    B. Only country and blue.

    C. Both western and country.

    D. Not only country and western but also a bit “blues”.

    3.What was the main reason for death ?

    A. A car accident B. Killing by others

    C. Taking drugs D. Heart attract

    Regarded as one of the English language’s most gifted poets, John Keats wrote poetry that concentrated on imagery, human nature, and philosophy. Although Keats didn’t receive much formal literary education, his own studies and passion brought him much success. Additionally, his own life situation influenced his poetry greatly.

    Growing up as a young boy in London in a lower middle-class family, the young John didn’t attend a private school, but went to a public one. His teachers and his family’s friends regarded him as an optimistic boy who favored playing and fighting much more than minding his studies. After his father’s death in the early 1800s, followed by his mother’s passing due to tuberculosis (肺结核), he began viewing life differently. He wanted to escape the world and did so by reading anything he could get his hands on.

    At around the age of 16, the teenage John Keats began studying under a surgeon so that he too might become a doctor. However, his literary appetite had taken too much of his fancy, especially with his addiction to the poetry of Ehmund Spenser. He was able to have his first full poem published in the Examiner in 1816, entitled O Solitude! If I Must With Thee Dwell. Within two months in 1817, Keats had written an entire volume of poetry, but was sharply criticized by a magazine. However, the negative response didn’t stop his pursuit of rhythm (韵律).

    John Keats’ next work was Endymion, which was published in May 1818. The story involves a shepherd who falls in love with the moon goddess and leads him on an adventure of one boy’s hope to overcome the limitations of being human. Following Engymion, however, he tried something more narrative-based and wrote Isabella. During this time, John Keats began seeing his limitations in poetry due to his own limit in life experiences. He would have to have the “knowledge” associated with his poems. His next work was Hyperion that would attempt to combine all that he learned. However, a bout (发作) with tuberculosis while visiting Italy would keep him from his work and eventually take his life in 1821.

    1.John Keats’ attitude towards life changed because of _________.

    A. his early education from school

    B. the deaths of his parents

    C. Edmund Spenser’s poetry

    D. the criticism of a magazine

    2.What is the common thing between John Keats and his mother?

    A. They read many books.

    B. They had a bad childhood

    C. They died of the same disease.

    D. They showed strong interest in poetry

    3.What do we know from the passage?

    A. Keats received little education at school.

    B. Keats once had a chance of becoming a doctor.

    C. In 1816 Keats spent two months writing a poem.

    D. Endymion was about a real love story.

    4.While pursuing his dream of becoming a poet at first, John Keats was __________.

    A. determined B. experienced

    C. knowledgeable D. impatient

    5.What can we infer from the passage?

    A. Keats’ family must have been very poor when he was young.

    B. Edmund Spenser was the greatest poet in Keats’ time.

    C. It is likely that Keats rewrote his poem Isabella.

    D. The poem Hyperion wasn’t completed by Keats.

    For Kim LeBlanc, knowing that her son Tyler’s organs, eyes and other tissues have given life or healing to others is helping her cope with the loss of her child, who was struck by a truck in Guelph on May 31.

    Tyler was believed to have been texting a friend when he stepped onto a high-traffic road against the green light and was struck by the truck. Then he was sent to a Hamilton hospital. Surgery was performed to ease the pressure in his brain, but .the family was told he would not recover.

    “With all of his injuries, I just prayed all night for a miracle. And I was granted a miracle, but not in the way I’d expected,” says LeBlanc, her voice choked by emotion.

    The family decided to donate Tyler’s organs, a choice she believes her kind and considerate son would have made on his own. It’s also a choice that transplant programs wish would be made more often, because the need for donor organs is far more than the supply worldwide. More than 1,500 people in Ontario are on the waiting list for life-saving organs, and one dies every day because an organ has not become available in time. Across Canada, the gap between donations and the need for organs continues to widen. At the end of 2010, more than 4,400 Canadians were on the waiting list for donor organs, including 3,362 needing a kidney. That year, 229 died before the organs they needed became available.

    LeBlanc recalls the morning when her son was taken off life support and his organs were removed. Despite living what she calls a parent’s absolute worst nightmare, LeBlanc says she has got the strength to bear such an unbearable loss. “He’s still there. He’s still living. And he’s still breathing. And he’s brought so much joy to families,” she says. “He’s my hero. He really is my hero.”

    1.Tyler was struck by the truck mainly because________.

    A. he broke the traffic rule

    B. he was talking with his friends

    C. the truck ignored him

    D. the truck ran at a high speed

    2.The figures in paragraph 4 show that ________.

    A. more people begin to donate their organs

    B. more people are dying during organ transplant operations

    C. many people don’t know how to donate their organs

    D. many people are in great need of organ transplant worldwide

    3.It is implied in the last paragraph that ________.

    A. LeBlanc was desperate about Tyler’s death

    B. LeBlanc will never forget Tyler’s contribution

    C. LeBlanc felt relieved with Tyler’s organ donated

    D. LeBlanc has never thought that Tyler will be a hero
