They may start as a group of high school students and practice their music in someones house. Sometimes they may play to passersby in the street or subway so that they can get some money for themselves or pay for their instruments (乐器).However, there was one band that started in a different way. It was called the Monkees and was formed in 1965. It began as a TV show. The TV show had planned to find four rock musicians who could act as well as sing. But they could only find one who was good enough. They had to use actors for the other three members of the band.Since some of these actors could not sing well enough，they had to ask for help from other musicians. So at first，the band just pretended (假装)to sing. Anyway，their performances were excellent and they got lots of fans. Each week on TV，the Monkees would pretended to play and sing songs written by other musicians. After a year or so，they became more serious about their work. They started to play and sing their own songs like a real band. Then they produced(制作)their own records and started touring and playing their own music. In the USA they became even more influential and popular than the Beatles and sold even more records.However, the band broke up around 1970，but happily they reunited(重聚)in the 1980s. They produced a new record in 1996 to celebrate their time as a band. It was very successful. Today the Monkees are still making music for their millions of fans.（1）From the second paragraph，we can know that the Monkees .

My six children were 10, nine, eight, six, three and 18 months, and I was overwhelmed with the responsibilities of earning a living, caring for the children and simply keeping my head above water.I was fortunate to find a wonderful housekeeper to care for the children during the week, but from Friday nights to Monday mornings, the children and I were alone, and frankly I was uneasy. Every unusual noise or any late-night phone call filled me with fear. I felt incredibly alone.One Friday evening I came home from work to find a big beautiful German shepherd(牧羊犬) on our doorstep. It was obvious he wanted to make the house his home. The children took an instant liking to German and begged me to let him in. I agreed to let him sleep in the basement until the next day. That night I slept peacefully for the first time in many weeks.The following morning we made phone calls and checked lost-and-found ads for Germans owner, but with no results. Saturday night he was still with us.On Sunday I had planned to take the children on a picnic. Since I thought it best to leave German behind in case his owner came by, we drove off without him. When we stopped to get gas at a local station, we were amazed to see German racing to the gas station after us. He stayed again Sunday night.Monday morning I let him out for a run while the children got ready for school. He didnt come back. We thought wed never see him again. On Friday evening, German was back again. We took him in, and again he stayed until Monday morning, when our housekeeper arrived. It went like this for almost 10 months. We looked forward to his coming each Monday morning he left home.Each week, between Germans visits, I grew a little braver, but every weekend I enjoyed his company. Then one Monday morning we patted his head and let him out for what turned out to be the last time. He never came back.（1）What does the underlined part in the first paragraph mean?A . trying to keep calm in publicB . trying to get attention from other menC . showing her high spirit in the face of troubleD . managing to continue to live（2）When the authors husband died, _.A . she couldnt raise the six children on her ownB . she couldnt relax on the weekendsC .

He wrote me a letter and hoped that something in it would help me for the rest of my life.Since the day I was 12 and first read his letter, some of his words have lived in my heart. One part always stands out. Right now, you are pretending to be a time killer. But I know that one day, you will do something great that will set you among the very best. Knowing that my dad believed in me gave me permission to believe in myself. You will do something great. He didnt know what would be, and neither did I, but at times in my life when Ive felt proud of myself , I remember his words and wish he were here so I could ask, Is this what you were talking about , Dad ? Should I keep going ?A long way from 12 now, I realize he would have been proud when I made any progress. Lately, though, Ive come to believe he would want me to move on to what comes next: to be proud of , and believe in , somebody else. Its time to start writing my own letters to my children . Our children look to us with the same unanswered question we had. Our kids dont hold back because theyre afraid to fail. Theyre only afraid of failing us. They dont worry about being disappointed. Their fear -as mine was until my fathers letter -is of being a disappointment .Give your children permission to succeed. Theyre waiting for you to believe in them. I always knew my parents loved me. But trust me：That belief will be more complete , that love will be more real, and their belief in themselves will be greater if you write the words on their hearts：Dont worry; youll do something great . Not having that blessing from their parents may be the only thing holding them back.（1）We learn from the text that the author _A . lost his father when he was youngB . worked hard before he read his fathers letterC . asked his fathers permission to believe in himselfD . knew exactly what great thing his father wanted him to do（2）What does the author tell us in the 3rd paragraph ?A .
