| The King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Aron Presley was born on 8 January 1935 in Tupelo. His talent in singing did not come up as a surprise, as he had a good voice right from his childhood. When Elvis was ten years old, he participated in a Talent Contest at Mississippi-Alabama Fair and Dairy Show and won a prize for the song he sang. When Elvis was 13 years old, his family moved to Tennessee. To support himself and his father, Elvis took on a job as a truck driver. A disc containing two ballads (民歌) that Elvis had recorded for his mother as a birthday gift was first heard by Sun Studio's president Sam Phillips. After listening to Elvis, Sam made Elvis an offer and that was the birth of a new singing sensation (鼓动的人物); a new superstar was born. In 1954 his first record was released from Sun Studio. In 1955, Elvis singed a $35,000 recording contract with RCA Victor (through Thomas Parker), who promised to help in projecting Elvis Presley (a Local Star) as a National Level Star. As promised, Elvis was shown in newspapers, television appearances, photographs where he was claimed to be the next superstar of the music world. In 1956, his first performance with "Heartbreak Hotel" on The Milton Berle Show successfully put Elvis on the top list of the superstars and the nationwide "Elvis Craze" was started. Elvis became the prince who ruled hearts of his millions of fans. In 1960, he quit performing in concerts and concentrated in making movies. As his first movie Love Me Tender was a big hit, he had no problem in marking his comeback in movies. After making several very successful and hit movies, Elvis returned to the world of music. In 1968, Elvis once again started working with his old band and gave some more smashing (极好的) hits to the world. In 1972, he released his last top-ten single Burning Love. It's nearly impossible to measure the level of popularity he had reached in his career. Elvis Presley had more than 100 records on the billboard charts and out of which, about 18 records were on number one position on the charts. During his lifetime, he worked in about 31 movies; all of them were huge success. |

| With the Tesla Roadster and other plugin (插入式) electric vehicles hitting the road, demand is growing for accessible refueling points to recharge them. Carbon Day Automotive,a Chicagobased company,has now demonstrated a solarpowered recharging point,known as the Solar PlugIn Station, which lets motorists easily charge their cars using electricity that has been produced without any environmental damage. The Solar PlugIn Station has gone on show in Chicago as part of the city's bid to host the 2016 Olympic Games. According to Carbon Day Automotive,the Solar PlugIn Station on show in Chicago is part of the vital infrastructure (基础设施) required for electric vehicles in Chicago and was the focus of a recent visit by the International Olympic Committee. These solarpowered electricity points will be used daily to fuel the city's electric vehicles with power from the sun. By producing the electricity from pollutionfree solar cell,the CO2 emissions are reduced to zero. "Solar energy and electric vehicles are a partnership that is one more step to reducing our dependence on foreign oil," says Richard Lowenthal,CEO of Coulomb Technologies. Coulomb Technologies recently developed the components (部件) required for individual recharging stations,marketed as ChargePoint Networked Charging Stations. Carbon Day Automotive is the Midwest distributor for the ChargePoint stations. The Solar PlugIn Station consists of giant solar panels (电池板) that shade the tiny ChargePoint Networked Charging Station. The solar panel is connected to an underground battery pack,ready for everyday refueling. "Without these stations it would be like driving around in a traditional car without the availability of gas stations," says Scott Emalfarb,CEO at Carbon Day."The day of true plugin electric vehicles will be here sooner than most people realize and the world needs to be ready to accommodate them." |

| Teachers have been honored in Indian culture for centuries. In the past, the teacher-student relationship in India was almost divine (神圣的). If a person wanted to become the student of a teacher, he or she had to live with the teacher, serve the teacher, engage in activities and also acquire knowledge. Even kings were expected to follow these rules. It was the second president of independent India, Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who raised the Indian devotion to teachers to a new level. During his tenure (任期) as president he was once approached by some citizens who wanted to celebrate his birthday. However, Dr. Radhakrishnan declared that he would rather have his birthday observed as Teachers' Day. Since then, September 5h of each year has been celebrated as Teachers' Day throughout India. All educational institutions honor teachers on September 5th in various ways. In some cases, senior students give teachers a day of rest by taking charge of classes. Some schools have ceremonies to honor exceptional teachers. Students also organize cultural events and recognize the efforts of teachers by giving gifts, cards and flowers. Articles on teachers and their achievements feature in print and on the web. In addition to these efforts, the government of India has set up the National Awards for teachers, to be distributed (分配) on September 5th every year. Teachers selected for the Best Teacher Award received a medal, a certificate and 25,000 Indian rupees as award money. Several private organizations and institutions have also come up with such awards to recognize the contribution of teachers to bringing up future leaders of the country. Thousands of teachers are employed in Indian educational institutions. However, not every teacher can qualify for the Teachers' Day awards. But the biggest reward that any teacher can get is the recognition of students. And Teachers' Day is certainly that time in every year when pupils honor teachers and let them know that their hard work and commitment is valued. |

| A. The social status of teachers in India. B. The origin of Teachers' Day in India. C. Teachers and education in India. D. Teachers' Day in India. |
