Questions 65-70 are based on the following
passage. One of the things young people find irritating
is listening to their parents going on and on about how everything was less
commercialized when they were kids. The complaint often heard from people over
35 refers to commercialization in the music industry. Every time
another girl band or boy band appears, this older generation criticizes the new
group for being artificial, for not being genuine, dedicated musicians or
singers. They claim that all pop groups in the 60's and the 70's were true
artists, dedicated only to their music, and then suddenly big business took
control. {{U}}(65) {{/U}}. Older people who get
nostalgic about the good old days of music, before manufactured music groups in
the 1990's, should be reminded of The Archies. The Archies made no pretense of
being a real band in the first place. {{U}}(66) {{/U}} But this didn't
step them from having a number one hit with a song called "Sugar Sugar", which
topped the charts for four weeks in 1969. {{U}}(67) {{/U}} Four young
men answered an ad for "four folk and rock musicians to appear in a TV series"
and were then packaged as The Monkees. From the outset, it was made clear that
The Monkees were hired to be television actors first and musicians second. The
group wouldn't do much more than sing although the series would give the
impression that they played their own instruments. The Monkees
were real and, to a certain extent, musical. They had a string of hits, some
very" memorable. {{U}}(68) {{/U}} The original material they would sing
in the series was written mostly by professional songwriters. How different to a
group of real, talented individuals like The Beatles ! Well, not
entirely. It is often forgotten today that the manager of The Beatles, Brian
Epstein, gave them the distinctive "Beatle look" ( Beatle jackets and Beatle
hairstyles) and cleverly marketed their songs. If he hadn't done so, the band
might never have had those early hits. {{U}} (69)
{{/U}}. Things have changed dramatically in the music
industry. Managers play an important role in deciding what kind of music will
appeal to specific target groups and then find singers and musicians able to
produce it. For the last fifty years, pop singers and groups have had managers
who shaped them in an attempt to make their records big hits. {{U}}(70)
{{/U}}. A. It must be obvious that this is a complete
exaggeration; the music industry has always acted this way. B.
Which is hardly surprising, since the music industry is just that: all industry,
aiming like all industries to make a profit? C. Their music was
performed by animated TV cartoon characters. D. And then they
would not have become the most influential rock band of the 20th
century. E. That decade also saw an American group appear that
was a blatant attempt to copy the success of The Beatles. F.
However, they didn't write any of their own material, and their manager created
every aspect of their show. G. However, it's not true that
everyone in the music business in the old days was an amateur who simply loved
music.
