Unit 5 MusicTHE BAND THAT WASN'T（34 页）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 SongZuying 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 because 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 house is the first step to fame. Sometimes they may play to passers-by in the street or subway sothat they can earn some extra money for themselves or to pay for their instruments. Later they may give performances in pubs or clubs, for which they are paid in cash. Of course they hope to make records in a studio and sell 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 based loosely on the Beatles. The TV organizers had planned to find four musicians who could act as well as sing. They put an advertisement in a newspaper looking for rock musicians, but they could only findone who was good enough. They had to use actors for the other three members of the band.As some of these 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 serious 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.并非乐队的乐队你曾经想过要成为一个乐队里有名的歌手或音乐家吗？你是否曾梦想过在音乐会上面对成千上万的观众演唱，观众欣赏你的歌唱为你鼓掌吗？你唱卡拉OK 时是否假装自己就是像宋祖英或刘欢一样著名的歌星吗？说实在的，很多人把名和利看得很重。

Jane suggests going to the cinema to watch a new movie, but Peter prefers to go hiking in the mountains. They eventually decide to compromise and do both activities over the weekend.The conversation between Jane and Peter highlights the importance of communication and compromise in maintaining healthy relationships. It is essential to listen to each other's preferences and find a middle ground that satisfies both parties. By considering each other's interests and being willing to make concessions, conflicts can be avoided, and friendships can be strengthened.Furthermore, the conversation also emphasizes the value of trying new experiences and stepping out of one's comfort zone.

高中英语必修2（人教版）Unit1 Cultural relicsIN SEARCH OF THE AMBER ROOMFrederick William I, the King of Prussia, could never have imagined thathis greatest gift to the Russian people would have such an amazing history.This gift was the Amber Room, which was given this name because severaltons of amber were used to make it. The amber which was selected had abeautiful yellow-brown colour like honey. The design of the room was in thefancy style popular in those days. It was also a treasure decorated with goldand jewels, which took the country's best artists about ten years to make.In fact, the room was not made to be a gift. It was designed for the palace of Frederick I. However, the next King of Prussia, Frederick William I, to whom the amber room belonged, decided not to keep it. In 1716 he gave it to Peterthe Great. In return, the Czar sent him a troop of his best soldiers. So the Amber Room became part of the Czar's winter palace in St Petersburg. Aboutfour metres long, the room served as a small reception hall for important visitors.Later, Catherine II had the Amber Room moved to a palace outside St Petersburg where she spent her summers. She told her artists to add more details to it. In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted. Almost six hundred candles lit the room, and its mirrors and pictures shone like gold. Sadly, although the Amber Room was considered one of the wonders of the world, it is now missing.In September 1941, the Nazi army was near St Petersburg. This was a time when the two countries were at war. Before the Nazis could get to the summer palace, the Russians were able to remove some furniture and smallart objects from the Amber Room. However, some of the Nazis secretly stolethe room itself. In less than two days 100,000 pieces were put inside twenty-seven wooden boxes. There is no doubt that the boxes were then put1on a train for Konigsberg, which was at that time a German city on the BalticSea. After that, what happened to the Amber Room remains a mystery.Recently, the Russians and Germans have built a new Amber Room atthe summer palace. By studying old photos of the former Amber Room, theyhave made the new one look like the old one. In 2003 it was ready for thepeople of St Petersburg when they celebrated the 300th birthday of their city.A FACT OR AN OPINION?What is a fact? Is it something that people believe? No. A fact is anythingthat can be proved. For example, it can be proved that China has more peoplethan any other country in the world. This is a fact.Then what is an opinion? An opinion is what someone believes is true buthas not been proved. So an opinion is not good evidence in a trial. Forexample, it is an opinion if you say“ Cats are better pets than dogs” . It may be true, but it is difficult to prove. Some people may not agree with this opinion butthey also cannot prove that they are right.In a trial, a judge must decide which eyewitnesses to believe and which notto believe. The judge does not consider what each eyewitness looks like orwhere that person lives or works. He/she only cares about whether theeyewitness has given true information, which must be facts rather thanopinions. This kind of information is called evidence.第一单元文化遗产阅读一寻找琥珀普鲁士国王腓特烈·威廉一世从未想过他送个普鲁士人民伟大的礼物会有一点如此惊奇的历史。
