安妮最好的朋友你是不是想有一位无话不谈能推心置腹的朋友呢?或者你是不是担心你的朋友会嘲笑你.或会不理解你目前的困境呢?安妮•弗兰克想要的是第一种类型的朋友,于是她就把日记当成了她最好的朋友。安妮在第二次世界大战期间住在荷兰的阿姆斯特丹。她一家人都是犹太人,所以他们不得不躲藏起来,否则他们就会被德国纳粹抓去。她与家人在躲藏了将近25个月之后才被发现。在这段时问里.她唯一忠实的朋友就是她的日记了。她说,“我不愿像大多数人那样在日记中记流水账.我要把这本H记当作我的朋友,我要把这个朋友称做凯蒂。"现在,来看看安妮自从1942年7月在藏身处的心情吧。1944年6月15日星期四亲爱的凯蒂:我不知道这是不是因为我长久无法出门的缘故,以至于变得对一切与大自然有关的事物都无比狂热。我非常清楚地记得,那时,湛蓝的天空、鸟儿的歌唱、月光和鲜花•从未令我心驰神往过。自从我来到这里.一切都变了。……比如说,有天晚E天气很暖和,我故意熬到11点半不去睡-为的是独自好好看看月亮。但是因为月光太亮了,我不敢打开窗户。还有一次,在五个月前的一个黄昏,我正巧在楼下,窗户是开着的。我一直等到非关窗不可的时候才F楼去。漆黑的夜晚.风吹雨打,雷电交加,我完全被这种力鞋震住了。这是我一年半以来第一次目睹夜晚…………可悲的是……我只能透过挂着脏窗帘的、满是灰尘的窗户看外面的大自然。这样做不再有什么乐趣,因为大自然是必须亲身体会的。你的,安妮

Unit 5The band that wasn’t 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 because they like to write and play their own music. They may start as a group of high-school students, for whom practising their music in someone’s house is the first step to fame. Sometimes they may play to passers-by in the street or subway so that 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 find one 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 humourous 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.Freddy the frog Not long after Freddy and the band became famous, they visited Britain on a brief tour. Fans showed their devotion by waiting for hours to get tickets for their concerts. Freddy was now quite confident when he went into a concert hall. He enjoyed singing and all the congratulations afterwards! His most exciting invitation was to perform on a TV programme called “Top of the Pops”. He had to go to London, wear an expensive suit and give a performance to a TV camera. It felt very strange. But as soon as the programme was over, the telephones which were in the same room started singing. Everybody was asking when they could see Freddy and his band again. They were truly stars. Then things went wrong. Freddy and his band could not go out anywhere without being followed. Even when they wore sunglasses or beards people recognized them. Fans found them even when they went to the toilet. They tried to hid in the reading rooms of libraries, but it was useless. Someone was always there! Their personal life was regularly discussed by people who did not know them but talked as if they were close friends. At last feeling very upset and sensitive, Freddy and his band realized that they must leave the country before it became too painful for them. So they left Britain, to which they were never to return, and went back to the lake.
