Born in Claremore，Oklahoma，a small town near Tulsa，Page originally dreamed of a career in commercial art．Her first job in the art department at a local radio station soon led to performing on her own 15minute program．
At age 20，Page was discovered by bigband leader Jack Rael，who quit his job to become her manager．In 1948，she signed her first recording contract with Mercury Records and two years later enjoyed her first hit record．She stayed with Mercury for the next 14 years and recorded hit after hit including With My Eyes Wide Open，I'm Dreaming and Old Cape Cod．
Her last hit was Hush…Hush，Sweet Charlotte，recorded for the Bette Davis'movie of the same name．And then，there was Doggie in the Window．The creative tune was a huge hit，but with its repeated barking sounds and silly lyrics（歌词），the song has been used by many people as an example of all that was wrong with pop music in the early 1950s．
Throughout the 1950s，Patti Page made regular appearances on television variety shows and in 1957she was chosen to host the musical program The Big Record．The following year，Page appeared in her own CBS television series，The Patti Page Show．She continued to record and perform into the 21st century，most recently releasing an album of songs for children，a Christmas record，and a new"best"of collection．

10．From old times，crows（乌鸦）have been famous for their cleverness．They use tools，work out problems，and even enjoy playing．Scientists have studied carefully how crows go about these activities．
To make tools，crows cut off leaves with their"mouths"，shape them，and use them to look for bugs（虫子）in wood or plants．Just as a carpenter carries his tools with him，a crow will carry its tool around．When the leaf isn't needed for the moment，the bird stores the tool at its feet or somewhere else．
To test wild crows'abilities to work out problems，scientists placed food outdoors in covered bowls．They watched with interest as the birds smartly opened the bowls to get the food．Scientists also found out that crows can make use of the traffic．For example，crows would drop a nut on the road and wait for a car to run over the nut to break it．
Besides，crows seem to enjoy playing．Young crows will carry a stick or nut into the air，drop it，and fly to catch the object as it falls．
So just how smart are crows？Perhaps a crow will never do tricks as a dog will．But scientists agree that there's a lot going on in the brain of a clever crow．

I couldn't believe he said the object was white，when it was obviously black！Another argument started between my classmate and me．Seeing this，the teacher told us to change places，and this time I found the object was white．
It was an object with two differently colored sides，and from his side it was white．Only from my side it was black．

This morning when I was walking in the new park close to that I live，an old gardener asked me whether I have any clothes to give him．He was wearing a worn-out T-shirt，looking disappointing．It was obviously that although there were so many people walk in the park，none ever would like to talk to him．Therefore，I ran to my home and brought him some T-shirt．With delighted smile on his face，he told me how thankful he was to the T-shirts．And he also said he would never forget that what I had done for him．I never believed I could make someone happy with so a small act of kindness．
