Question

Many young people want to become pop-stars. It is their great ambition（雄心） in life. They think pop-stars make a lot of money, they have interesting and exciting lives, thousands of fans love them, and they become famous!

Yes, but first they must become stars. Most of them start their life with a group. But there are many groups and competitions(比賽)are hard. Only a small number can be popular. They have to work very hard before they reach the top.And very few reach the top and stay there. In England there are perhaps thirty or so groups at the top. Most of these do not make so much money, perhaps 500 pounds each time they act. What’s more, they have quite a lot of expenses(開銷). They have to pay a manager, for example. He is the key person in their lives.

Then there are their clothes, their instruments(樂器) and their van（廂式貨車）.

And don’t forget, they have to travel a longway-sometimes 2,000 miles in one week. At times they even sleep in their van instead of a hotel, just to save money.
