aab制THE BAND THAT WASN'T（34页）
画白云
Have you ever wanted to be part of a band as a famous singer or musician? Have you ever dreamed of playing in front of thousands of people at a concert, at which everyone is clapping and appreciating your music? Do you sing karaoke and pretend you are a famous singer like Song Zuying or Liu Huan? To be honest, a lot of people attach great importance to becoming rich and famous. But just how do people form a band?
Many musicians meet and form a band becau they like to write and play their own music. They may start as a group of high-school students, for whom practicing their music in someone's hou is the first step to fame. Sometimes they may play to pasrs-by in the street or subway so that they can earn some extra money for themlves or to pay for their instruments. Later they may give performances in pubs or clubs, for which they are paid in cash. Of cour they hope to make records in a studio and ll millions of copies to become millionaires!
However, there was one band that started in a different way. It was called the Monkees and began as a TV show. The musicians were to play jokes on each other as well as play music, most of which was bad looly on the Beatles. The TV organizers had planned to find four musicians who could act as well as sing. They put an advertiment in a newspaper looking for rock musicians, but they could only find one who was good enough. They had to u actors for the other three members of the band.
湘西自治州人力资源和社会保障局As some of the actors could not sing well enough, they had to rely on other musicians to help them. So during the broadcasts they just pretended to sing. Anyhow their performances were humorous enough to be copied by other groups. They were so popular that their fans formed clubs in order to get more familiar with them. Each week on TV, the Monkees would play and sing songs written by other musicians. However, after a year or so in which they became more rious about their work, the Monkees started to play and sing their own songs like a real band. Then they produced their own records and started touring and playing their own music. In the USA they became even more popular than the Beatles and sold even more records. The band broke up about 1970, but happily
they reunited in the mid-1980s. They produced a new record in 1996, with which they celebrated their former time as a real band.
餐饮店长的工作职责是什么并非乐队的乐队
你曾经想过要成为一个乐队里出名的歌手或音乐家吗？你是否曾幻想过在音乐会上面对成千上万的观众演唱，观众观赏你的歌颂为你鼓掌吗？你唱卡拉OK时是否假装自己就是像宋祖英或刘欢一样闻名的歌星吗？说实在的，很多人把名和利看得很重。那么，人们又是怎样一起组成乐队的呢？
很多音乐家聚在一起组成乐队，是因为他们喜爱自己作曲，演奏自己的音乐。他们起先可能是一组中学生，在某个人家里排练音乐是成名的第一步。有时他们可能在街上或地铁里为过路人演奏，这样他们可以为自己或自己要买的乐器多挣一些钱。后来，他们可能在酒吧或者俱乐部里演出，这样他们可以得到现金。当然，他们希望在录音棚里录音，然后卖掉上百万张碟，从而成为百万富翁。
然而，也有一个用不同方式组建起来的乐队。这支乐队叫“门基乐队”，它起先时是以电视
节目表演的形式出现的。组成乐队的音乐人演奏音乐，还彼此打趣都笑。这些玩笑和音乐大多都在仿照“甲壳虫”乐队。电视制作人原安排想找寻四位会唱又会表演的乐手。他们在报纸上登了一则广告，想招摇滚乐手，但他们只招到一个满足的。乐队的其他三人只能用演员来代替。

因为这些演员中有些人唱得不是很好，他们不得不依靠队里的其他人帮助。所以在演出的时候他们只是假唱。不管怎样，他们的表演特别幽默以至于其他的乐队也起先仿照。他们特别走红使得歌迷们为了更加熟识他们而成立了俱乐部。门基乐队每个星期都要在电视上演唱由别的音乐家创作的歌曲。然而，经过大约一年以后，门基乐队渐渐对自己的工作仔细起来，他们起先像一支真正的乐队那样演唱自己创作的歌曲。然后他们录制自己的唱片，并且起先巡回表演他们自己的音乐。在美国，他们甚至比“甲壳虫”乐队还要受欢迎，出售的录音专辑还要多。“门基乐队”大约在1970年左右解散，但是令人兴奋的是，到80年头中期他们再次聚首。在1996年，他们推出了一张新的专辑，像真正的乐队一样以此来庆祝他们以往的时间。
FREDDY, THE FROG(1) （38页听力）
宏才大略
Freddy the frog dipped his long, thin legs into the water. He felt so tired! Within a few short weeks he had changed from a small tadpole into the beautiful animal he saw now. He smiled to himlf. Then suddenly he heard a fine deep sound that carried far into the darkness of the quiet night. Freddy looked up. Other frogs! I must try and find them, he thought. It is so hard being a grown‐up frog on my own. He began to swim slowly towards the sound. Suddenly he knocked into a large lily pad. On it sat three confident frogs and they were playing instruments. Freddy climbed onto the leaf. “Can I try to sing?” he asked quietly. “Of cour,” they said. He opened his mouth wide and began: Help! I need somebody, Help! Not just anybody. Help! You know I need someone, Help! Now I find ‐I’ve changed my mind. I’ve opened up the doors. (Chorus) Help me if you can, I’m feeling down. And I do appreciate you being round. Help me get my feet back on the ground. 素炒竹笋
