Most young people had ever wanted to be famous singers or musicians. They have dreamed of playing in front of the audience. Honest speaking, many people attach great importance on becoming rich and famous.
Many musicians meet and form the band. They may start a group of high school students. At first, they may play to passer-by in the street or subway. Later, they may give performances in pubs or clubs. Of course they want to make a lot of money.
However, there was one band called the Monkees that started in a different way. It began as a TV show. The TV organizers had planned to find four rock musicians, so they could find only one. They had to use actors which had to rely on other musicians to help them. They just pretended to singing. Their performances were soon successful and popular, and after a year or so, the Monkees began to play with and sing their own songs like a real band.

What cause earthquakes and where do they happen?
2.They are inner core, outer core, mantle (地幔) and the earth’s crust (地壳). The crust and the top of the mantle make up a think skin on the surface of the planet. But this skin is not all in one piece. It is actually made up of many tectonic plate. They are like puzzle pieces. These pieces are always sliding around and bumping into each other. Sometimes their edges get stuck together. When this happens, the rest of the plate keeps moving. Eventually the edges come unstuck. 3..
