Unit 5 The band that wasn’t Have you ever wanted to be part of a band as a fam ous singer or m usi ci ans? Have you ever dreamed of pl aying i n front of thousands of peopl e at a concert, at which everyone i s cl appi ng and appreciati ng your m usi c? Do you si ng Karaoke and pretend you are a fam ous si nger l i ke Song Zuyi ng or Liu H uan? To be honest, a l ot of peopl e attach great im portance to be i ng ri ch and fam ous. But just now do peopl e form a band? Many m usi ci ans m eet and form a band because they li ke to wri te and pl ay thei r own m usi c. They m ay start as a group of hi ghschool students, for whom practi si ng thei r m usi c i n som eone’s house i s the first step to fame. Som etim es they m ay pl ay to passersby i n the street or subway so that they can earn som e extra money for themsel ves or to pay for thei r i nstruments. Later they m ay gi ve perform ances i n pubs or cl ubs, for which they are pai d i n cash. O f course they hope to m ake records i n a studio and sel l mil li ons of copi es to be e mi l ionaires! H owever, there was one band that started i n a di fferent way. It was cal led the Monkees and began as a TV show. The m usi ci ans were to play jokes on each other as wel l as pl ay m usi c, m ost of whi ch was based l oosel y on the Beatl es. The TV ani zer had pl anned to fi nd four m usici ans who coul d act as wel as si ng. They put an adverti sem ent i n a newspaper l ooki ng for rock m usi ci ans, but they coul d onl y fi nd one who was good enough. They had to use actors for the other three m em bers of theband. As som e of these actors coul d not si ng wel l enough, they had to rel y on other m usi cians to hel p them . So duri ng the broadcasts they just pretended to si ng. Anyhow thei r perform ances were hum orous enough to be copi ed by other groups. They were so popul ar that thei r fans form ed cl ubs i n order to get m ore fami li ar wi th them . Each week on TV, the Monkees woul d pl ay and si ng songs wri ten by other m usi cians. H owever, after a year or so in whi ch they becam e m ore serious about their work, the Monkees started to pl ay and sing thei r own songs li ke a real band. Then they produced thei r own records and started touri ng and playi ng thei r own m usi c. In the USA they became even m ore popul ar than the Beatl es and sol d even m ore records. The band broke up about 1970, but happil y they reuni ted i n the mi d1980s. They produced a new record in 1996, wi th whi ch they cel ebrated their form er tim e as a real band. Freddy the frog（Ⅱ） N ot l ong after Freddy and the band becam e fam ous, they vi si ted Britai n on a bri ef tour. Fans showed thei r devoti on by wai ti ng for hours to get ti ckets for thei r concerts . Freddy was now quite confi dent when he went i nto a concert hal l. H e enjoyed si ngi ng and al the congratul ati ons afterwards! H is m ost exci ti ng i nvitati on was to perform on a TV programm e cal l ed “ Top of pops “. H e had to go to London, wear an expensi ve sui t and give a perform ance to a TV camera. It fel t very strange. But as soon as the program me was over, the tel ephones whi ch were i n the same rom started ri ngi ng. Everybody was aski ng when they coul d se Freddy and his band agai n. They were trul y stars. Then thi ngs went wrong. Freddy and hi s band coul d not go out anywhere wi thout bei ng fol owed. Even when they wore sungl asses or beards peopl e recogni zed them . Fans found them even when they went into toil et. They tri ed to hi de i n the readi ng room s of l i brari es, but i t was usel ess. Som eone was al ways there! Thei r personal li fe was regul arly di scused by peopl e who di d not know them but tal ked as if they cl ose fri ends. At l ast feli ng very upset and sensi tive, Freddy and hi s band real i zed that they m ust l eave the country before it becam e too pai nful for them. So they l eft Bri tai n, to whi ch they were never to return, and went back to the lake. 必修三 Unit 1 Festi val s and cel ebrati ons Festi val s and cel ebrati ons of al l ki nds have been hel d everywhere si nce anci ent tim es.
