Uni t 5 The band that wasn’t H ave you ever wanted to be part of a band as a fam ous si nger or musi ci ans? H ave you ever dream ed of pl ayi ng i n front of thousands of peopl e at a concert, at whi ch everyone i s cl appi ng and appreci ati ng your m usi c? Do you si ng Karaoke and pretend you are a fam ous singer li ke Song Zuyi ng or Li u H uan? To be honest, a lot of peopl e attach great im portance to bei ng ri ch and fam ous. But just now do peopl e form a band? Many m usi cians m eet and form a band because they l i ke to write and pl ay their own musi c. They may start as a group of hi ghschool students, for whom practi si ng thei r musi c i n som eone’s house i s the fi rst step to fam e. Som etim es they m ay pl ay to passersby i n the street or subway so that they can earn som e extra m oney for them selves or to pay for thei r i nstrum ents. Later they m ay gi ve performances i n pubs or clubs, for whi ch they are pai d i n cash. O f course they hope to make records i n a studi o and sel m il i ons of copi es to be e m il i onai res! H owever, there was one band that started i n a di fferent way. It was cal ed the Monkees and began as a TV show. The m usi ci ans were to pl ay jokes on each other as wel l as pl ay m usi c, most of whi ch was based l oosel y on the Beatl es. The TV ani zer had pl anned to fi nd four m usi ci 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 musi 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 sing wel l enough, they had to rel y on other m usi ci ans to hel p them. So during the broadcasts they just pretended to sing. Anyhow their perform ances were humorous enough to be copi ed by other groups. They were so popul ar that thei r fans form ed clubs 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 tten by other m usi ci ans. H owever, after a year or so i n whi ch they becam e m ore seri ous about thei r 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 pl ayi ng thei r own m usi c. In the USA they becam e even more popular 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 i n 1996, wi th whi ch they cel ebrated thei r form er tim e as a real band. Freddy the frog（Ⅱ） N ot long after Freddy and the band becam e fam ous, they vi sited Bri tai 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 qui te confi dent when he went i nto a concert hal . H e enjoyed si ngi ng and al the congratul ati ons afterwards! H is m ost exci ting i nvi tati 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 performance to a TV cam era. It felt very strange. But as son as the programm e was over, the tel ephones whi ch were i n the sam e room started ri nging. Everybody was aski ng when they coul d see Freddy and hi s band again. 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 l owed. Even when they wore sungl asses or beards peopl e recogni zed them . Fans found them even when they went i nto toil et. They tri ed to hi de i n the readi ng room s of li brari es, but it was usel ess. Som eone was al ways there! Their personal l i fe was regul arl y di scussed by peopl e who di d not know them but tal ked as i f they cl ose fri ends. At l ast feel i ng very upset and sensiti ve, Freddy and hi s band reali zed that they m ust l eave the country before i t becam e too pai nful for them . So they l eft Britai n, to whi ch they were never to return, and went back to the l ake. 必修三 Uni t 1 Festi val s and celebrati ons Festi val s and cel ebrati ons of al ki nds have been hel d everywhere si nce ancient tim es.
