IV. Reading Comprehension (20%)1. A Star Has FallenHe is one of the most talented, gifted superstars of all time. He is an icon, a legend. He is MichaelJackson, the King of Pop. On the night of June 25th, 2009, he was found dead in Los Angeles. Though helived a difficult and controversial life, we were really lucky to have him with us for the past 50 years.R. Taraborrelli once described Michael Jackson as the real-life Peter Pan, the boy whorefused to grow up. Indeed, his terrible childhood life probably made him want to pursueinnocence in his adulthood. For example, the surgeries to make him look younger, theamusement park he lived in, and the children playing around him. He simply wanted to buyback the lost childhood.However his life was, Jackson’s dance and his music were influential to almost everysinger and every entertainer in the past decades. His music videos and music even helpedbreak down racial barriers in the US at that time. In late 2007, Jackson once said, “Music has been my outlet,3my gift to all of the lovers in this world. Through it, my music, I know I will live forever.”Now, Michael has left us. Even though the world will never see Michael Jackson make thecomeback he promised, what he created belonged to him. People will continue to worship him for another 50years or so. And then when we see more people doing his moves or singing his songs, we would remember thatthey all came from him. That's his legacy, and he would live in our heart forever.
