The story of how the song “Happy Birthday to You”came into being, began as a sweet one, which later soured. Two sisters, Mildred Hill, a teacher at the Louisville, Kentucky Experimental Kinder-garten(幼儿园), and Dr Patty Hill, the principal(院长,负责人)of the same school, together wrote a song for the children, entitled “Good Morning to All”. When Mildred combined her musical talents with her sister's expertise(专长)in the area of Kin-dergarten Education, “Good Morning to All”was sure to be a success.
The sisters published the song in a collection entitled “Song Stories of the Kindergarten”in 1893. Twenty-one years later, after Dr Patty Hill became the head of the Department of Kindergarten Education at Columbia University's Teacher College, a gentleman by the name of Robert H. Coleman published the song, without the sisters' permission. To add insult(侮辱)to injury, he added a second verse, the familiar “Happy Birthday to You”.
Mr Coleman's addition of the second verse popularized the song and, finally, the sisters' original first verse disappeared. “Happy Birthday to You”, the one and only birthday song, had altogether replaced the sisters' original title, “Good Morning to All”.
After Mildred died in 1916, Patty, together with a third sister named Jessica, took Mr Coleman to court. In court, they proved that they, indeed(确定), owned the melody(曲调). Because the family legally owns the song, it is entitled to royalties(版税)from it, whenever it is sung for commercial(商业的)purposes.
(1)The first verse of the song was written for ________.
[ ]
A.Patty Hill's children
B.Mildred Hill's children
C.Mr Coleman's students
D.the students in a kindergarten
(2)Mr Coleman published the song and added a second verse in ________.
[ ]
(3)What does the underlined word “soured”probably mean?
[ ]
A.Had an unpleasant taste.
B.Got angry easily.
C.Became unpleasant.
D.Turned out well.
(4)Which of the following statements is NOT true?
[ ]
A.With permission from the Hill sisters, Mr Coleman published the song and added a second verse to the song.
B.The second verse made the song popular and, at last, the first verse disappeared.
C.Patty and Jessica took Robert H. Coleman to court after Mildred died.
D.The Hill's family legally owns the melody.
