二、阅读理解
Do you know that the “Happy Birthday to You” song is the first song sung in outer space Apollo IX astronauts sang it on March 8, 1969. It is one of the most popular English songs of all time. Here’s the story behind it.
The song was written by two sisters from Kentucky, Mildred and Patty Smith Hill. It was first published under the title of “Good Morning to All” in 1893. It was used as a classroom greeting. Teachers sang it each day to welcome their students to the classroom.
The composer, Mildred Hill, was a concert pianist. Her sister Patty Smith Hill wrote the original lyrics (最初的歌词) for the song while she was a teacher in a kindergarten in Louisville, Kentucky, where Mildred also taught.
The Hill sisters copyrighted (取得版权) their song on October 16, 1893. However, it appeared without their agreement in Robert H. Coleman’s songbook on March 4, 1924. Coleman changed part of the lyrics to say, “Happy Birthday to You”, although the song still had its original title. The song was then published several times over the next ten years, often with small changes in the lyrics. In 1934, when the song was sung every night in a Broadway Musical, another Hill sister, Jessica, went to court (法院) over the copyright problem of the song. She won her case.
The Hill sisters, who devoted their lives to educating children, could never imagine that the simple little song would continue to earn about $ 2 million every year.

Many expressions we use in American English come from movies and books. Today we will learn some expressions from Lewis Carroll’s famous book Alice in Wonderland.
The story is about a young girl falling for a long time down a rabbit hole. When she finally lands, she finds herself in a strange world and meets some strange characters.
The first character Alice meets is the White Rabbit. The White Rabbit is not a usual rabbit. Alice chases after him, and that is where her adventures begin.
In English, “chasing a white rabbit” means to chase an impossible dream. “Following the white rabbit” means you are in the middle of an unusual situation. This situation may change your life. Like “chasing a white rabbit”, “falling down the rabbit hole” means we get interested in something else and lose ideas about time.
Later in the story, Alice is the guest at a tea party—a crazy tea party! There she meets the March Hare. The hare seems to be truly crazy. To be “mad as a March Hare” means to be completely crazy.
