THE BEATLES
In the 1960s, The Beatles were probably the most famous pop group in the whole world. Since then, there have
been a great many groups that have achieved enormous fame, so it is perhaps difficult now to imagine how
sensational The Beatles were at that time. They were four boys from the north of England and none of them
had any training in music. They started by performing and recording songs by black Americans and they had
some success with these songs. Then they started writing their own songs and that was when they became
really popular. The Beatles changed pop music. They were the first pop group to achieve great success from
songs they had written themselves. After that it became common for groups and singers to write their own
songs. The Beatles did not have a long career. Their first hit record was in 1963 and they split up in 1970.
They stopped doing live performances in 1966 because it had become too dangerous for them – their fans were
so excited that they surrounded them and tried to take their clothes as souvenirs! However, today some of their
songs remain as famous as they were when they first came out. Throughout the world many people can sing
parts of a Beatles song if you ask them.
71. The passage is mainly about ….
A. how The Beatles became more successful than other groups C. The Beatles’ fame and success
B. why The Beatles split up after 7 years D. many people’s ability to sing a Beatles song
72. The four boys of the Beatles ….
A. came from the same family C. were at the same age
B. came from a town in the north of England D. received good training in music
73. The word “sensational” is closest in meaning to …
A. notorious B. bad C. shocking D. popular
74. The first songs of The Beatles were ….
A. written by themselves C. paid a lot of money
B. broadcast on the radio D. written by black Americans
75. What is not true about The Beatles?
A. The members had no training in music. C. They became famous when they wrote their own songs.
