One of the most popular American singers of 20th century was Elvis Presley. Elvis Presley made the music called rock ‘n’ roll popular around the world. He sold millions of records and made many successful films, and he helped change the direction of popular music in the 1960’s. Elvis Presley was born in 1935 in a small town called tupelo, in Mississippi in the southern United States; he came from a very poor family. His parents were simply country people who often took Elvis to church. At church he learned to sing, and he never forgets the kind of songs that he used to sing in church as a child.
When he was a school boy, Elvis moved to the town of Memphis in Tennessee (田纳西州). He attended high school in Memphis, but he was not a very good student. His only real interest was singing. He began to sing in the style that is popular in Tennessee, a style called country and western.
In 1955 in Memphis he recorded some country and western songs for his mother’s birthday, the people at the recording studio liked Elvis’s singing and music. There was something different about it.

had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney's cartoon films for children. When Walter Disney
heard Nash's voice, he said, 16Stopl That's our duck!"
The duck was now the famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the film the Wise Little
Hen, Donald lived in an old houseboat and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a
star after an eight-minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audiences liked him because he was lazy and
greedy (贪婪), and because he lost his temper very easily. And they loved his voice when he became
angry with Mickey's eight nephews (侄儿). Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse
himself, probably because he wasn't goody-goody ( 伪善者) like Mickey.

Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the places of the USA in the world, and safety in
