More than 3 years ago I travelled to Britain and stay there for 10 days, and it’s still one of the most wonderful trip I have ever taken. The moment when I arrived in London, I went to the Sherlock Holmes Museum. The museum is modeled in the fictional house in that Sherlock Holmes and John Watson lived. And it also contains reproductions of any famous crime scenes from the stories. I walked around each room carefully as if we had been at a real crime scene and afraid of destroying valuable clues. As crazy fan of Sherlock, I felt extreme interested. Now I’m looking forward to take my next trip there.

【題目】 Dolly Parton, an American musician, is used to performing for big crowds. But after her set this year at Glastonbury, Britain’s largest music festival which can date back to 1970, she admitted a butterfly was in her stomach. Since that show, her album Blue Smoke has stayed near the top of the album chart for eight weeks.

Live music is flourishing (繁榮) even as sales of recorded music have decreased greatly. In the past two years, it has grown by 15%. Live music lovers now spend more than l billion a year on tickets and almost half that on food, drink and the like. In the early 1990s, Britain had few festivals. But around 450 will take place this year. The festival season, once limited to July and August, now stretches until early autumn. On the first weekend of September, four festivals battle it out.

One reason was a change of the licensing laws, which made it easier to put on a show outdoors. The recession (經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退) helped too: Britons who could no longer afford foreign holidays found a weekend of camping in a muddy field more attractive.

Ageing crowds are another bonus. Older people have more cash to spend on festivals, and their demands have helped make festivals safer and more pleasant. Security at bigger festivals has grown much tighter. Fancy food and drinks have replaced cheap hot dogs and beer.

All this is changing the way the music industry works. Festivals are increasingly seen as a way for artists to attract fans. Newer names find them essential: Clean Bandit, a British band who brought out their first album this year, is performing at around 20 festivals this summer. And music managers are increasingly taking into account how successfully artists will perform at big outdoor festivals before deciding to sign them.

【1】What do we know about Dolly Parton?

A.She is an inexperienced performer.

B.Glastonbury used to be her favorite festival.

C.Glastonbury’s large audience made her nervous.

D.Her album Blue Smoke was an instant hit in the UK.

【2】Which of the following can indicate live music is flourishing in Britain?

A.The licensing laws have been changed.

B.The festival season lasts longer than before.

C.Ticket prices of music festivals have increased by 15%.

D.People are willing to spend more money on recorded music.

【3】What’s older people’s contribution to outdoor festivals?

A.Helping attract huger crowds of fans.

B.Spending more money on food and drink.

C.Offering music festivals financial support.

D.Urging organizers to offer a comfortable experience.

【4】Why are music festivals important to new artists?

A.They may change Britain’s music industry.

B.They can be effectively promoted at the festivals.

C.They can cooperate with some big-name artists.

D.They may make the acquaintance of music managers.

Nowadays, stand-up comedy is popular all over the world. Doctors have been researched what effect stand-up and other forms of comedy have to us. They have discovered people laugh a lot live longer. They say this is because when you laugh, your brain sends chemical around your body that are good for you. Laughing helps your body stay health and can even helped you fight pain. Maybe this explains the long lives of men like Bob Hope or George Burns.
