25、nnifer Nelson had to pay $1,500 to have Happy Birthday to You sung in the movie shes making. The money went to Warner Music Group, a company that claims to own the copyright on the song. A copyright is the legal right to use or sell a creative product such as a song, a TV show, a book, or a work of
26、art. Warner has claimed the copyright for Happy Birthday to You since 1988. I never thought the song was owned by anyone, Nelson said in an e-mail to The New York Times. I thought it belonged to everyone. Nelsons movie is a documentary a film that uses pictures and/or interviews with people to creat
27、e a factual report of real-life events and is actually about the history of the Happy Birthday song itself. Two sisters named Mildred and Patty Hill wrote a song called Good Morning to All in 1893. Over a short period of time, people began to sing the words happy birthday to you in place of the orig
28、inal lyrics to the tune of the Hill sisters song. A number of history experts say that there is no record of who actually wrote the Happy Birthday to You lyrics . Historians also say there is no way to know when the general public began singing the Happy Birthday song, but they believe it was being
29、sung by the public long before it was printed and owned by a company. Nelsons lawyers say this piece of musics history proves that Happy Birthday to You belongs to everyone in the general public. That would mean Warner Music Group has no right to charge anyone a fee to sing the song in any setting.
30、Experts estimate that Warner/ Chappell, the publishing division of the Warner Music Group, has made about $2 million a year from licensing fees for Happy Birthday to You. Nelsons lawyers are asking a court in New York City to order Warner/Chappell to return fees they have collected over the past fou

35、y? In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasonsfor example, economic( ) reasonswhy they should be preserved. So, let us assume that histori
36、cal buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed? In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own hometown of Tours where modern designs have
37、 been placed very successfully next to old buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate( ) its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area. It is true that there are examples of new b uildings which have spoilt( ) the area they are in,
38、but the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative( ) and do not like change. Although we have to respect peoples feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe tha
39、t it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward. If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves. Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more r
40、isky choice. 32.What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph? A. Some of them are not attractive. B. Most of them are too expensive to preserve. C.

41、e following is TRUE according to the author? A. We should reproduce the same old buildings. B. Buildings should not dominate their surroundings. C. No one understands why people speak against new buildings. D. Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in. 34.By move things forwardin the last
42、paragraph, the author probably means _ A. destroy old buildings B. choose new architectural style C. put things in a different place D. respect peoples feelings for historical buildings 35.What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To explain why people dislike change. B. To warn that we could end up living in caves. C. To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas. D. To admi
