the most popular
band in the USA
from 1966 to 1968!A big hit!The Monkees were a made-for-TV musical group formed in 1965 when the producers Bob Rafelson and Bert Schneider advertised for band members in Variety. The next year the zany comedy TV show The Monkees debuted (授权) with the band's four members:The Monkeesdrummer Micky Dolenz (b. 8 March 1945 in Los Angeles, California), bassist (低音吉他手) Peter Tork (b. 13 February 1942 in Washington, D.C.), guitarist Michael Nesmith (b. 30 December 1942 in Houston, Texas) and heartthrob singer Davy Jones (b. 30 December 1945 in Manchester, England). The show was a surprise hit and the Monkees became a pop phenomenon, releasing albums and even a movie (1968's Head). At first the band members did little more than sing on their albums, though later they began to play instruments and write some of their own songs. Their albums included The Monkees (1966) and Headquarters (1967), with hit singles including "Pleasant Valley Sunday," "I'm a Believer" and "Last Train to Clarksville." The TV show ended in 1968 and Tork left the group the same year. Nesmith left in 1969 and by the end of 1970 The Monkees had fizzled out (结果失败). The band regrouped without Nesmith in the 1980s and continue to make occasional appearances together. The Monkees also blazed a trail for future pre-fab bands like The Partridge Family and The Spice Girls.

In music, a band is a company of musicians, or musical ensemble, usually popular or folk, playing parts of or improvising a musical arrangement on different musical instruments. Answer questionsWhy do people want to be part of a
band?The reasons maybe various. In a way, people may think being part of a band can make them rich or famous.What stages do most bands go through before they become famous and rich?start as a group of high-school studentsplay to passers-by in the street or subwaygive performances in pubs or clubsmake records in a studioHow was the Monkees formed?
Why did they become popular?
The Monkees began as a TV show.Because their performances were very humorous. In what ways is the Monkees similar to
or different from other bands?Similarities:
1. be popular with people
2. produce their own records, play and sing their own songsIn what ways is the Monkees similar to
or different from other bands?Differences:

Not all can sing well, some were actors who had to rely on other musicians.They just pretended to sing during the broadcasts.Retelling If we are honest with ourselves, most of us will admit that we all have dreamed of becoming famous sometimes in our lives.

E. was a big hit.Join togetherDiscuss and express your ideas: 1. Do you think the TV organizers were right to call the Monkees a band when they did not write or sing their own songs? Give reasons.
2. In your opinion, what is the most important thing for a successful band? Why?1.1 more than two musicians and usually four or five
2 they play popular music and sing the songs
3 they perform in concerts, pubs or to their classmates1 Yes
2 Not at first but they did later
3 Yes, but on TV Unlike most bands, The Monkees were not formed by its members but rather by TV producers. You see, the Monkees weren't originally a real band —— they were a fictional band in a TV show of the same name. While four members sang, they did not play their own instruments or write their own songs, at least at first. For reference And yet thanks to contributions by top songwriters and session musicians, a carefully crafted image, and of course, the successful TV show, The Monkees became one of the most popular pop groups of the '60s, at one point outselling the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Though the group later seized control of it's destiny —— learned to play their own instruments,
write their own lyrics and help
screenwriter a movie. As their fame grew, The Monkees
themselves grew upset at not being
able to play their own instruments or
write their own songs——especially
bona fide musician Mike Nesmith——
and began to rebel against their
producers and record company, going public with the truth about their
songs. While this disappointed many
older fans, most didn't seem to care. The
Monkees began playing?their
instruments and writing some songs on
1967's Headquarters, though the
continuity of their sound was preserved. 2. What a successful band should have:
1) Lyrics that sound clear, which makes them easy to sing to.
2) Lyrics that are deep and poetic.
3) Music that makes you want to dance.
4) Good instrumentals and turnarounds in the music. They don't have to be world class, but simple strumming is boring to experienced ears. 1 roll verb 1 [I or T; usually + adverb or preposition] to (cause to) move somewhere by turning over and over or from side to side: The vase rolled off the edge of the table and smashed.

1 根据定语从句中的谓语动词或形容词来
选用介词。如：The fellow to whom I spoke made no
answer at first. (speak to)2 根据先行词来确定介词。如：In his room, we saw a big table on which there were all kinds of books. (on the table) 3 根据定语从句所表达的意义来确定介

定语从句的构成方法是：关系代词或副词+陈述句语序, 关系代词有: who, whom, whose, which, that, as等; 关系副词有when, where, why等。关系代词有双重功能, 一方面代表前面所修饰的先行词, 把从句与先行词连接起来; 另一方面引导出从句并在从句中充当某种句子成分。The number of people who /
that lost homes reached as
many as 250,000.
2. It sounded like a train which
/ that was going under my house.关系代词之物时只用which不用that的情况(1) 关系代词在从句中作介词宾语并且介词提前至关系代词前时只用which, 但当介词在从句句尾时, 两者皆可。
This is the question about which we’ve had so much discussion.
= This is the question which / that we’ve had so much discussion about.(2) 在非限定性定语从句中必须用which不能用that。
This is the book which / that I’m looking for.
They have invited me to visit their country, which is very kind of them.当关系代词作look after, look for等不能拆开使用的及物动词性短语的宾语时, 介词不可以提前。1. 关系副词where之地点, 在从句中作地点状语。
This is the house where he lived.
2. 关系副词when指时间, 在从句中作时间状语。
I’ll never forget the days when we played together.3. 关系副词why指原因, 在从句中作原因状语。
He explained the reason why he was late.
注意: 关系副词有时可用介词+which来 代替。如上句中where=in which; when=on which; why=for which注意: “介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句, 关系代词只能用which和whom, 且不能省略。介词主要根据三个方面来选择: 一是先行词与介词的搭配; 二是定语从句中谓语动词或形容词与介词的搭配; 三是根据“介词+关系代词”在从句中的作用及意义。Rewrite the sentence using the attributive clause:1.

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’s 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 sing with you?” he asked quietly. “Of course,” they said. He opened his mouth wide and began:
Help! I need somebody, Help! Not just anybody. Help! You know I need someone, Help!
When I was young and so much younger than today, I never needed anybody’s help in any way. But now those days are gone.
I’m not so self-assured.Now I find—I’ve changed my mind, I’ve opened up the doors.

My name is Li Hua. I’m beginning a band with my friends. However, we have never been in a band before. Could you please give us some advice? I would like to know what music to play and we cannot decide.
I like pop music but most of my friends like rock and roll. Liu Mei likes rap. How are we to decide what to play? Do you suggest we play a little of all of these types of music? Or should we only play one kind of music? How did you and your friends decide what to play together?
I would also like to know how to choose a name for our band. I like the name The Chopsticks because that means working together. Wang Jun wants us to be called the Legs there are four of us like the legs of a chair. What do you think?
Yours hopefully
Li HuaDo you want to form your own band to take part in the music festival?SpeakingForm your own band in groups of six. Decide who will play what instrument and who will sing. Decide the name of your band and what kind of band you will be. For example, will you be a rock band, or a small group of singers? Then, choose an English song for your “band” to perform. You may find this song on the internet or on some of your own tapes or CDs. Practise singing your song to the music
and then perform to the class. This may be just the beginning for you and your band!LIU MEI: Right. Now let’s decide who should do what in our band. Who would like to do lead vocals?

LIU MEI: Well, all right. Can you help me out on guitar and vocals?WANG LI: Sure, I can. What do the rest of you think?
OTHER: Yes, we agree.
LIU MEI: So how about you, Ma Xin? Do you think you can try bass guitar?
MA XIN: I’m not sure. What does that mean?LI QIN: It means you keep the beat, or rhythm, for them on a guitar.
MA XIN: OK. I can give it a try.
WU JUN: What about me? What can I do?
LIU MEI: Every band needs someone to play the drums.WU JUN: Great! I like to hit things to make noise!
LI QIN: OK. What will we call ourselves?
WANG LI : How about The Chopsticks. We work together.
MA XIN: Nope, I don’t like it. How about We Er Hu? Get it?WU JUN: That’s silly. Why not name the band The Silk Shirts?
MA XIN: Yeah, we all like silk clothes!
OTHERS: Sure, so The Silk Shirt it is.
LIU MEI: Fine. Now let’s decide what song we’ll play.S1: Some comfortable clothes would be best.

2 If you do, what kind of music do you usually listen to? What kind of effect does the music have on you.Listen to the tape again and write down what the “Mozart effect” means to you.Listening to classical music, especially, Mozart, helps improve your memory. Something about classical music Classical music does not have words. It tries to describe feelings with notes and instruments. It is called classical music because it was written at a time when there was no country, pop or rock music. The music had to be very carefully composed to fit a special pattern. Only the cleverest musicians could compose beautiful music with this pattern.Listening to classical music improves your memory.
2. The “Mozart effect” means listening to Mozart’s music.
3. To improve your long term memory you need to study maths.
4. Scientists think the Mozart effect works with all kinds of music.
5. Listening to music makes you more intelligent.True or False?Listening Text Do you worry about exams? Of course, everyone does. Do you find it difficult to remember what you study? Well, everybody has trouble remembering things from time to time. Do you know music can help you remember things better? Scientists have shown that if you listen to classical music and especially Mozart while you are studying, it helps your memory. It is called the “Mozart effect”.
It would be useful to know if the “Mozart effect” works with all kinds of music. Certainly scientists have done some experiments to find out. They have tried playing other kinds of music (such as pop music) while students are studying, but it doesn’t work. It seems that the regular rhythms of
classical music help develop one’s
memory. However, this improvement
only lasts for a short time.
If you want to improve your
intelligence, What should you do?
Scientists think that learning a musical
instrument is helpful, especially for
improving maths skills. This is because maths and music both use the same part of the brain. So if you want to be good at maths, perhaps you should go to a music class!Listening taskBefore you listen, make a list of
any classical composers that you
know of. Share your list with your
partner.mathematical pattern jazz

Born in Bonn in 1770, Beethoven showed great talent at an early age. In 1787, Beethoven first visited Vienna, at that time the centre of musical world. There he performed before Mozart, who was amazed at his talent. In 1792, Beethoven returned to Vienna, where he lived until his death.Beethoven never married. As teacher, he was impatient but painstaking; he was quiet in piano playing but extravagant in conducting.
He was so absent-minded that once he insisted on paying a waiter for a dinner for dinner he had not eaten or even ordered.By 1817, he became totally deaf. Public performance stopped, but he continued his creative work. His finest works were composed after he had lost the power to enjoy them.
Beethoven’s life ended sadly. After a long illness, he died on March26, 1827.Jazz爵士之王——路易斯· 阿姆斯特朗Louis Satchmo ArmstrongThe Man With The Horn The crowd cheered and cheered. The man with the horn waved and smiled his great, happy smile. “ More! More!” cried the crowd. And Louis Satchmo Armstrong took his horn and began to play again. Here he was in England. Now a famous man, he was rich. He knew many important people. Wherever he went people knew his name. They wanted to hear his music. As Louis played the sad, slow songs, he thought of his home in New Orleans. He lived there as a boy. How many years ago it was? It was a busy, exciting city. But Louis’ family was very poor. He went to work to help his mother. He also went to school. One of Louis’ teachers asked him to be in the school band. “This horn is yours until you leave our school!,” his teacher said. Louis’ music was jazz and he loved it. He remembered all the music he heard. He didn’t learn to read music until he was a man. When he left school, he played in many bands. He loved his work and people loved him. They knew he had a wonderful talent. Louis played on the boats that sailed up and down the river. He played in little towns and in big cities. Satchmo’s horn had as many as sounds as ten horns----sometimes slow and sweet; Sometimes fast and hot, high and low. His music was always strong and exciting. “He does make wonderful music,” said the man who listened happily. “Yes,” said another man, “he makes the horn speak.” then the music ended and the crowd cheered. Louis Astrong spoke with tears in his eyes, “I think, my friends, you can listen to as much jazz as I can play. I thought jazz was my music, but now I understand it is ours. Isn’t it beautiful how music brings us together!” (The end)Some QuestionsWhat was Louis Armstrong’s childhood like?
