Question

阅读理解 　　Like many people you may be dreaming of a career as a rock and roll star．There are two ways to go about getting one．First there is the traditional way．Find some friends and form a group．Learn to play the guitar or the drums．Write your own songs．Spend hours arguing about the band name．Then go out on the road． 　　The next step is to spend a year or two touring．If you are any good, the crowds will get bigger．In the end an artist from a record company may come to a show．If he or she likes you, there may be a deal．This is the route traditionally followed by bands in the music industry．Success means fame and wealth．And failure gives you some interesting stories to tell your children．? 　　Over the last few years a different path to success has become known．Boy bands like Boyzone and girl bands like the Spice Girls don't come together on their own．They are created by managers and record companies．Their image is strictly controlled．Professional song writers usually write their music．This is a convenient arrangement and the public seems to love the result．? 　　Though boy and girl bands have become very popular recently, there is a long tradition of making music in this way．In the early 1960s an American businessman called Berry Gordy founded Motown Records．Motown is short for “motor town”．The record company was based in the city of Detroit, where thousands of African Americans had moved to work in the car industry．They brought with them a cultural tradition of writing and performing music．This style later became known as “soulmusic”．Berry Gordy was a diamond miner．He took raw talent from the street and polished it until it shone．Motown stars were not just given songs to sing．They were also taught how to dress well and speak properly． (1) In the first paragraph the writer seems to tell us ________． [　　] A． to form a band is very hard B． the name of the band is very important C． newly built bands can only perform by road D． to form a band is very simple (2) If a newborn band wants to succeed, as the writer tells, it must have the chance ________ 。 [　　] A． to travel in big cities B． to perform before an artist C． to make an agreement with a record company D． to experience failure again and again (3) From the fourth paragraph, we can conclude that ________． [　　] A． Motown was only enjoyed by the workers in Detroit?
