Unit 5 The band that wasn’t Have you ever wanted to be part of a band as a fam ous si nger or m usi 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 l ot of peopl e attach great im portance to bei ng rich 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 their m usi c i n som eone’s house i s the first step to fame. Som eti m 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 perform ances i n pubs or cl ubs, 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 l m il li ons of copi es to be e mi li onaires! 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 cians were to pl ay jokes on each other as wel l as play 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 usi ci ans who coul d act as wel l as si ng. They put an advertisem 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 embers of theband. As some of these actors coul d not si ng wel l enough, they had to rely on other m usi ci ans 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 their fans form ed cl ubs i n order to get m ore fam il i ar with them. Each week on TV, the Monkees woul d pl ay and si ng songs wri tten by other m usi ci ans. However, after a year or so in whi ch they becam e m ore seri ous about thei r work, the Monkes started to play and si ng their own songs l i ke a real band. Then they produced their own records and started touri ng and pl ayi ng thei r own m usic. In the USA they becam e even m ore popul ar than the Beatl es and sol d even m ore records. The band broke up about 1970, but happi l y they reuni ted i n the mi d1980s. They produced a new record i n 1996, wi th which they cel ebrated thei r form er ti m e as a real band. Freddy the frog（Ⅱ） Not l ong after Freddy and the band becam e famous, 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 l. H e enjoyed si ngi ng and al the congratul ati ons afterwards! H i s m ost exciti ng invi tation was to perform on a TV programm e cal ed “ Top of pops “. H e had to go to London, wear an expensi ve sui t and gi ve a perform ance to a TV cam era. It fel t very strange. But as soon as the programm e 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 see Freddy and hi s band agai n. They were truly stars. Then thi ngs went wrong. Freddy and hi s band coul d not go out anywhere without bei ng fol lowed. Even when they wore sungl ases or beards peopl e recogni zed them. Fans found them even when they went i nto toi let. They tried to hi de i n the readi ng room s of li brari es, but i t was usel ess. Som eone was al ways there! Thei r personal li fe was regul arl y discussed by people 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 it becam e too pai nful for them. So they l eft Bri tai n, to which they were never to return, and went back to the l ake. 必修三 Uni t 1 Festi vals and cel ebrati ons Festi val s and cel ebrati ons of al ki nds have been hel d everywhere si nce anci ent ti m es.
