(3)The retur n of th e milu eer My name is Linhui.I like to t ell stor ies about people who work together.What is even b etter is when countries h elp each other and build a good fr iendship.A n excellent example of th is happened when Brit ain and China worked together to br ing the Milu deer back to Ch ina.The Milu d eer,a s pecies with large h orns,used to be common in China long ago.Like oth er d eer they liv e t ogether and eat grass and the soft parts of tr ees such as small br anch 77d5722791c69ec3d5bbfd0a79563c1ec5dad7dau deer wer e often hunted for food or sport in th e past.The ,Ming and Qing d ynast ies did not prot ect th em and many were killed.Th at is how the Milu deer dis appear ed from China. Luckily before all of th em w ere killed,some wer e taken to Brit ain to improv e th e envir onment of the beautiful park which b elonged t o the Duke of Bedford.He liked them so much that h e t ook them all th e way fr om China to Britain.The Milu d eer liked the cool,w et weather in England and their numb er i ncr eased year b y year.As a res ult,when in 1985 the gov ernment of China wanted t o r eintroduce th e Milu deer,th e Duke of Bedford was happy to help.The first d eer came back t o China t o the Nanhaizi Milu Park 20 kilomet ers s outh of Beijing and th e centr e in Dafeng,Jings u Pr ovince. The deer centainly seem happy t o b e back in China becaus e th eir numbers hav e gr own r apid ly.Ther e ar e now s o many of th em that a new park has b een opened for them in Heb ei Pr ovince.At the moment the Milu deer liv e in centr es wh ere they ar e b eing well prot ect ed and care for .It is hoped that one day ther e will be enough animals t o let th em liv e in the wild again.So Britain helped China by bringing b ack an animal that had d isappeared from its homeland.This is a good example of friendship and under standing between thes e two countries. U nit 5The and that was n’t Hav e you ever wanted to be part of a band as a famous s inger or mus icians?

Do you sing Karaoke and pret end you are a famous singer like S ong Zuying or Liu Huan? To b e h one
a lot of people attach great importance t o
b ecoming rich and famous. B ut just now do people form a b and? Many mus icians meet and form a band becaus e th ey like t o write and play th eir own music.Th ey may start as a gr oup of high-school stud ents, for whom practising their mus i
c in s omeone s house is th e first step t o fame. Sometimes they may play to pass ers-by in th e street or subway so that they can ear n some extra money for th ems elv es or to pay for their instr uments. Lat er th ey may giv e per for mances in pubs or clubs, for which they ar e pai
d in cash. Of cours
e they hope to make records in a stud io and s ell millions o
f copies to becom e millionair es! How ever, ther e was one band that start ed in a differ ent way. It was called the Monkees and began as a TV show. The musicians wer e to play jok es on each other as well as play mus ic, most of which was based loosely on the Beatles. The TV or ganizer had planned to find four musicians who could act as well as sing. Th ey put an adv ertis ement in a news paper lookin
g for rock musicians, but t
h ey could only find one who was good enough.They had t o us e actors for the other thr ee memb ers of th eband. As some of these actors could not s ing well enough, they had t o r ely on other mus icians t o help them. So during the br oadcasts they just pret end ed to sing. Anyhow their perfor mances wer e humor ous enough to be copied by other groups. They w ere so popular that their fans formed clubs in ord er to get mor e familiar with them. Each week on TV, th e Monkees would play and sing s ongs written by oth er musicians. Howev er, aft er a year or so in which they b ecame more ser ious about th eir work, the Monkees start ed to play and sing th eir own s ongs like a real band. Then they prod uced their own r ecords and started tour ing and playing th eir own music. In th e USA they b ecame ev en mor e popular than th e Beatles and sold even more records. The band br oke up ab out 1970, but h appily they reunit ed in the mid-1980s. Th ey produced a new r ecord in 1996, with which th ey celebrat ed their former time as a real band. Fr eddy the frog（Ⅱ）Not long aft er Fr eddy and the band ecame famous, they visited Britain on a brief t our. F ans showed th eir d evotion b y wait ing for hours to get tickets for their concerts . Fr eddy was now quit e confident when he w ent into a concert hall. He enjoyed s inging and all the congrat ulations afterwards! His most exciting invit ation was t o perform on a TV programme called Top of pops. He had to go to London, w ear an expensiv e s uit and give a per for mance
to a TV camera. It felt v ery strange. But as soon as the pr ogramme was ov er, the t elephones which w ere in the same r oom start ed r inging. Ev eryb ody was asking when th ey could s ee Freddy and his band again. They wer e truly st ars. Then things went wrong. Fr edd y and his band could not go out anywhere without being follow ed. Ev en when they wor e sunglasses or beards people r ecognized them. Fans found th em ev en when they went into t oilet. They tried t o hid e in th e r eading rooms of librar ies, but it was us eless.
