Brian was a funny student. He loved watching comedies(喜剧)best and hoped to become a comedy actor one day.
When he heard about the talent show to be held at this school, Brian decided to take part in. He had never acted on stage(舞台) before, and he was very excited. But some students laughed at him. “You are not funny but silly,” Ken, one of his classmates, said to his face. “No one will like what you do,” another boy also said to him, loudly.
Brian couldn’t understand why they were so unkind to him. For a moment, he thought about giving up the show. But he remembered how much his friends liked his jokes, and also his teachers said he was very funny. So he decided to prepare for the show.
Brian did a great job at the talent show. Everyone loved his performance, and he won the first prize! His teachers and friends were proud of him. Even so, Ken told Brian that he was not funny, and that he would never be successful. Brian didn’t understand why Ken said so, but he realized that it had nothing to do with him. He confidently continued to work towards his goal.
As the years went on, Brian met more people like Ken. “you’ll do a terrible job,” they said to him. Luckily, most people encouraged him and some helped him to become even funnier. He got a lot of opportunities to perform in movies. He was even invited to appear on television. His fans thanked him because his comedies made them feel good when they were unhappy.

The song Happy Birthday to You is an example of just how interesting the world is. Think about this song---it is only 6 notes. Yet it is one of the best-known songs in the world. It was written in 1893 by Mildred and Patty Hill and first published with the words, “Good morning to you”.
The words“Happy Birthday to You”were first seen in print in 1924, although the author is unknown. The Clayton F. Summy Company became the song’s publisher in 1935. Through a series of purchases and acquisitions(收购), the song now belongs to AOL Time Warner. ASCAP represents the song for public performance licensing.
The copyright to Happy Birthday to You should have expired(过期) in 1991, but copyright Act of 1976 extended(延长)it, and the Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998 extended it again, so the song is protected until 2030 at least.
Happy Birthday to You brings in about $ 2 million per year. If you ever hear the song in a movie, TV show or an ad, a licensing fee has been paid. Any manufacturer that plays the song pays a licensing. The manufacturer of any musical card playing the songs pays a licensing fee. This 6-note song is a big business!

A. in 1893 B. in 1924 C. in 1935 D. in 1991

书面表达
Dear Headmaster,
We have had a discussion about whether to play music during the break. All the students in our class gave their ideas.
Most of us agree that the music should be played. They think listening to music can make them feel happy. Besides, music helps them relax after hard work. What's more. music can help them improve the study efficiency.
On the other hand, some students disagree. They doubt whether they can get expected results by listening to music, as the break is short. In addition, in class some students are still lost in music, which has a bad effect on students.
I think what we need is peace instead of the noise produced by the music. So I don't like music. What's your idea
Yours sincerely,
John
