　　Commemorating the birth of Rock and Roll，

　　London holds an “Elvis impersonator” contest.

　　July 5th, 2004 marks the 50th anniversary

　　of the birth of Rock 'n' Roll,

　　the day that Elvis Presley appeared on the scene

　　and revolutionized pop music.

　　27 years after his death,

　　the music and memory of

　　the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll is still being kept alive

　　by the thousands of Elvis Tribute Artists.

　　Recently 50 Elvis impersonators

　　from all over the world converged in London.

　　Each of them had their own strong points.

　　Some had Elvis’ distinctive crooked smile,

　　some had his trademark sideburns,

　　some were wearing his style of leather clothing,

　　but all met with cheers of approval from the onlookers.

　　For the fourth straight year,

　　rail-thin, 26-year-old Takeru Kobayashi

　　of Japan swept over his competition

　　at the Hotdog-eating Competition ,

　　gulping down 53-and-one-half hot dog in 12 minutes,

　　and shattering his own world record by three dogs.

　　He ate an average of one hot dog

　　every 13 seconds, using his trademark method

　　of snapping the dogs in half before swallowing them.

　　Takeru weighs just 132 pounds,

　　but he sure can pack away those hot dogs.
