     Billie Holiday was one of the greatest jazz singers in America. Her life was just a mixture of success and tragedy (悲劇). Her singing expressed her experiences and feelings.

     Billie Holiday was born Eleanora Fagan in 1915 in Baltimore, Maryland. Her parents were Sadie Fagan and Clarence Holiday. They were young when their daughter was born. Their marriage failed because Clarence Holiday was often out. He traveled as a musician with some of the earliest jazz bands and inspired his daughter.

     Sadie Fagan cleaned people’s houses to make a living. But she could not support her family with the money she earned. So she moved to New York City where the pay was higher. She left her daughter in Baltimore with one of her distant relatives (親戚).

     The young girl Eleanora Fagan changed her name to Billie, because she liked a movie star, Billie Dove. The talented Billie Holiday loved singing. She sang and listened to music whenever she could. In one place near her home there was a machine that played records. The building was a theater where many famous singers also performed their newly-made songs for free.

     Billie cleaned floors and did other jobs for the theater so that she could listen to the records. It was there that young Billie first heard the records of some famous black American blues artists of the 1920s.She heard Bessie Smith sing the blues. And she heard Louis Armstrong play the horn. Both musicians had a great influence (影響) on her.

     Billie Holiday once said, “I do not think I’m singing. I feel like I am playing a horn. What comes out is what I feel. I hate straight singing. I have to change a tune to my own way of doing it. That is all I know.”

We all have our wish lists, whether it is for the holiday season, a birthday or a get-together．The fact is that we are all human and we all desire nice things and fun things．One thing that should not be missed is putting Cuponk on your wish list so that you can have years of fun and entertainment.

For adults, they can start playing Cuponk with their kids, spending quality time together, which is good for close family ties. Adults can also enjoy Cuponk with their own friends, turning a dinner party into something memorable (難忘的)．The game is made for everyone, regardless of age or gender (性別).

It comes with a special cup with a backboard funnel (漏斗), special balls and trick cards．There are different styles of cups to choose from, just to make it even more personal an experience. The players must pick a trick card when it is their turn. The card will tell them what to do and how many times they're allowed to try that particular trick. The tricks always involve getting the ball into the cup, which will light up and make some crazy sounds of victory afterwards.

The rules allow for everything in the home to be allowable. That means that you can bounce (反彈) the ball off the wall into the cup as creatively as possible, or you can also use tables, chairs, stairs, the ceiling and whatever else you have. What makes it even more special than most others is the fact that all ages can play together. So, a family with different age groups can enjoy a few games together, without any real concern for damages, as the balls are quite light. It’s kind of like beer pong rules, but without the beer.

In a time with economic instability (不穩(wěn)定), where consumers have chosen to stay at home to save a few dollars, it is a great way to do that without being bored．Playing games with friends or family members is a good way to laugh and pass the time pleasantly, rather than just sitting in front of a television or a computer wasting valuable time．No one will remember watching television, but everyone will remember those memorable moments playing fun games and spending good quality time with the people they love.

“Can I see my baby？” the happy new mother asked. When the baby was in her arms and she was moving the fold of cloth to look upon his tiny face, the doctor turned quickly and looked out of the tall hospital window. The baby had been born without ears.

Time proved that the baby’s hearing was perfect. It was only his appearance that was imperfect. When he rushed home from school one day and threw himself into his mother’s arms, she sighed (嘆息), knowing that his life was to be unfortunate. He cried to his mum “A boy, a big boy... called me a freak (怪人).”

He grew up, handsome. A favorite with his fellow students, he might have been class president, but for that. He developed a gift, a talent for literature and music. “But you might communicate with other young people,” his mother blamed him, but felt a kindness in her heart.

A few years went by. One day, his father said to the son, “You’re going to the hospital, son. Mother and I have someone who will donate (捐獻(xiàn)) the ears you need. But it’s a secret.” The operation was a great success, and a new person appeared.

Later he married and became a lawyer. One day, he asked his father, “Who gave me the ears? Who gave me so much? I could never do enough for him or her.” “I do not believe you could，” said the father, “but the agreement was that you are not to know... not yet.”

The years kept their secret, but the day did come. He stood with his father over his mother’s casket(棺材). Slowly, tenderly, the father reached out and raised the thick, reddish brown hair to show the mother had no outer ears.

“Mother said she was glad she never let her hair be cut，” his father whispered gently, “and nobody ever thought Mother less beautiful, did they？”

   Have you ever been afraid? Do thunder and lightning make your heart beat faster? Maybe your mouth goes dry when your teacher says you will be given a test, or your palms（手掌） sweat when it’s your turn to give your report in front of the class. Perhaps you get butterflies in your stomach when you see the bully (欺負(fù)人的人) who chooses you.

   We all have fears sometimes. That’s true no matter how big we are or how brave we can be. Fear of getting too close to a campfire may save you from a bad burn. And fear of getting a bad grade on a test may make you study hard. Being nervous can also sharpen your senses and help you perform better during a track meet. Some people even enjoy being a little scared (恐懼的). That’s why they like to watch scary movies.

    Usually, our bodies go into fight only when there is something to fear. However, sometimes this happens when there doesn’t seem to be anything to be frightened about. When you feel scared but there doesn’t seem to be a clear reason, that’s called anxiety (焦慮). For some kids, the feeling of anxiety or worry can happen at any time. For others, it might appear only at certain times, like when they are leaving their home or family to go somewhere. For some people, this feeling of anxiety happens almost all the time and gets in the way of what they want to do.

    Tell your parents if your anxiety becomes strong and is getting in the way of what you want to do. Your parents can take you to a doctor, who can help to find out if a medical problem is making you feel anxious. But you can also try these ways to kill the feeling yourself.

60.What does the underlined phrase “get butterflies in your stomach” (Paragraph 1) probably mean?

A. Brave people won’t feel fear whatever happens.

B. Children are easier to show fear than adults.

C. Fear is a sign of being sick and unhealthy.

A. often appears before an important exam

B. Who to turn to for help when people feel anxious.

C. Some good ways to help people deal with fear.

At just six years old, Joey Kilpatrick is Australia’s unofficial hide-and-seek (捉迷藏) champion after he hid in a bedroom cupboard for eight hours while playing his favorite game, causing a big rescue operation (救援行動).

The determined little boy’s disappearing led to a careful search, including nine police officers, five State Emergency Service volunteers, tracker dogs and almost all of the people of the town of Goombungee.

His mother, Chris, says she called the police when Joey disappeared one afternoon after telling his older brother, Lachlan, 14, that he was off to play hide-and-seek.

“I called the two boys for dinner,” Chris says. “After about 20 minutes I started to worry, I was shouting to Joey,‘0K, we can’t find you, time to come out!’”

But there was no sign of her little boy. Within minutes of Chris calling the police, the policemen started one of the biggest ground searches in the town’s history.

“I was really frightened. I rang my husband, Kris, who works out of town, and he immediately hit the road, calling me every 10 minutes.” Chris recalls. “They searched the house from top to bottom. Everyone was out looking for him. When a neighbor asked if I’d checked the water tank, that’s when reality hit. I was afraid.”

After hours of searching the town, confused (困惑的) police decided to search the house one more time.

“I just sat there waiting.” Chris says, “Then a strange feeling came over me, and I rushed into the bedroom and put my hand on a pile of blankets in the cupboard. As I pulled them out, there he was – asleep and completely not realizing what was going on! I’ve never held him in my arms so hard.”

Senior officer, Chris Brameld, from Goombungee police, says he is glad that Joey’s game had a happy ending: “When we realized he was safe, we agreed that it didn’t get much better than that!”

　　 And young Joey promises that next time he won’t be so intent (專注于) on finding the best hiding place. “I want to say sorry to the policemen and to Mummy for scaring them.” he says, “I promise next time I’ll hide where they can find me and I won’t fall asleep!”
