She was born in Virginia but was brought up in Yonkers, New York. Chick Webb noticed her in a petition when she was sixteen. He asked her to sing with his band(乐队) , and when he died in 1939, she took over. Unlike Besie Smith, Ella Fitzgerald taught herself the sentimental music so popular in the 1930ssongs like “My Heart Belongs to Daddy”- and her recordings became best sellers. During the 1940s she developed her own “scat singing”, for songs like “Flying Home” and “Lady Be good”. Ella Fitzgerald was the perfect musical partner for her friend, the trumpets(号手) Louis Armstrong, matching him in warmth and artistry. “ I just like music,” she has said“To me, its a story.

The goal is to calm down and try to solve what is bothering you. This is hard for some kids and adults，too. Instead of calming down，some kids might keep getting more and more upset until they explode like a volcano! 17 Their anger might be so strong that they lose control of their temper ( 脾气 ). They may act in ways unacceptable and hurtful. People may say that someone has trouble controlling their temper. 18 Some kids might get so angry that they scream at their parents，break something，or even worse，hit their brothers or sisters. 19 However，its not OK for a kid to do any of those things. Kids dont want to act in this way，but sometimes angry feelings can be hard to manage. So what to do? Well，the good news is that kids dont just have to keep making the same mistakes over and over again. 20 Imagine your temper as a puppy （小狗） inside you that needs some training. The puppy is not badit will probably turn out a great dog. It just needs to learn some rules because，right now，that puppy is causing some problems to you. A. You can train your temper. B. You dont want to cause trouble. C. Kids should be allowed to express their feelings，even angry ones. D. Everybody gets angry sometimes. E. In fact，they usually mean that a kid behaves badly when feeling angry. F. Instead of thinking of the person youre angry with，think of something else. G. Some kids get angry more often or more easily than some other kids.第二部分英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） Four brothers left home for college, and they became successful doctors and lawyers.
