One of the most popular American singers of the twentieth century was Elvis Presley. He made the rock 'n' roll music popular all over 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 s
ongs that he ud to sing in church as a child.
When he was young, Elvis moved from Toledo to Memphis in Tenne, 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".
雅思单词量In 1995 he recorded some songs for his mother's birthday. The people at the recording studio liked his singing and his music. It was country and western music, but it also sounded a little like the music which black people ud to sing in the American South. It was called "Blues". Shortly after that, Elvis met Tom Parker, who became his manager and arranged(安排) concert for him across the United States and new recording as well. Soon Elvis became famous around the country. Later Elvis went to Hollywood and began to appear in films such as Love Me Tender and King Creole.
But Elvis found it difficult to live with success. Like many other famous people, he began to take drugs and his health started to suffer. When he died at an early age of 42 in 1977, millions of his 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 'n' Roll.

Although it is often called the koala "bear", this lovely animal is not actually a bear at all. It is a marsupial (有袋目哺乳动物), and like kangaroos, a female koala carries her baby in her
pouch (育儿袋) for about six months.
Koalas live in four states only in eastern Australia, where the eucalyptus trees (桉树) they love are most plentiful. In fact, they rarely leave the trees, their sharp claws easily keeping them high up in the air.厂长为什么叫厂长

Koalas do not drink much water and they get most of their water from the leaves. Each animal eats a large amount for its size—about two and a half pounds of leaves a day, even storing snacks of leaves in pouches.
The koala bears were widely hunted during the 1920s and 1930s and their populations decread suddenly. Helped by reintroduction, they have reappeared over much of their former range, but their populations are smaller. Koalas need a lot of space—about a hundred trees per animal—which is a pressing problem, as Australia's woodlands continue to get smaller becau the trees they live on are being cut down to make farms. Also, forest fires, caud by heat waves, are destroying the forests the koalas live in.
It has been estimated (估算) that there are only 100, 000 koalas left in the wild, with the lo
west estimates being no more than 43, 000. The koala can only eat eucalyptus leaves and lives nowhere el except Australia, so in order to survive, human effect on its limited environment must be controlled, or this attractive creature faces certain extinction.
