【猫王之死】 1977年8月16日，普里斯莱的未婚妻金格儿－阿尔登在浴室的地板上发现了他。医生在其体内发现了14种成分不同的毒品，认为他是吸食毒品过量致死。两天后，人们为他举行了隆重的葬礼，规模空前：一口白色的棺材，17辆白色的高级轿车以及50000名前来悼念的歌迷。42岁的美国摇滚乐坛偶像“猫王”离去了，但死后的他似乎比生前更加名声显赫，无人能敌。每年8月，成千上万的歌迷来到他的家乡，点燃蜡烛，用他们的方式纪念这位“摇滚之王”。 猫王遗体最后跟母亲合葬在Graceland后方的静默园。1979年猫王父亲辞世后，猫王的庞大遗产由唯一当时年仅11岁的女儿LisaMarie继承。1986年，猫王成为乐坛前十位入列摇滚名人殿堂的歌手。截至1999年8月，RCA唱片公司和美国录音工业协会(RIAA)共追颁了131张的金唱片及白金唱片给猫王的女儿LisaMarie，这是历史上获赠最多的金唱片及白金唱片纪录，猫王无疑是史上最伟大的演唱艺人。同时，RCA也颁予世纪艺人ArtsitOfTheCentury特别纪念奖感念这位一代巨星。 Practice Answer the following quextions. 1.Where was Elvis Presley born?
