阅读理解 It's widely believed that Whitney Houston, born in America, appeared certain to become a singer. Her mother Cissy Houston was the choir minister at New Hope Baptist Church, and it was there that the young Whitney got her start. When she was 19, Whitney Houston was discovered in a nightclub by the famous Clive Davis of Arista Records. In 1983,Houston made her debut (首演) on national television. In 1985, she released her debut album Whitney Houston and almost immediately became a sensation. Over the next year, her hit singles Saving All My Love for You and How Will I Know helped the album reach the top of the charts, where it remained for fourteen weeks in a row. Houston won a Grammy in 1986 for Saving All My Love for You. By 1992, Whitney Houston was on top of the world, but her life was about to get very complicated very quickly. That year she married the R&B singer Bobby Brown. At first the marriage was passionate and loving, but things turned sour as the decade progressed and both Brown and Houston battled drug abuse. In spite of these growing personal troubles, Whitney Houston continued to progress in her career, crossing over successfully into acting in 1992 by starring in The Bodyguard. Her single from the movie, I will Always Love You, proved to be Houston's biggest hit ever, spending a record-breaking fourteen weeks on top of the US charts. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Whitney Houston's increasingly rocky marriage, struggles with drug and health problems threatened her career. Over the next few years, Houston attempted to break her drug habit and divorced Bobby Brown in 2007.
