Around the world young people are spending unbelievable sums of money to listen to rock music. Forbes Magazine reports that at least fifty rock stars have incomes between two million and six million dollars every year.

"It doesn't make sense. "says Johnny Mathis, one of the older music millionaires, who made a million dollars a year when he was popular, in 1950s."Performers aren't worth this kind of money. In fact, nobody is."

But the rock stars' admirers seem to disagree. Those who love rock music spend about two billion dollars a year for records. They pay 150 million to see rock stars in person.

Luck is a key word for explaining the success of many. In 1972 one of the luckiest was Kon Mclean, who wrote and sang "American Pie". Mclean writes his own music, so he earns an extra two cents on every single record of the song.

Neil Young who performs in torn blue jeans, sometimes sings to an audience of 10,000, each of whom has paid five dollars for a ticket. After paying expense, young leaves with about 18,000 in his blue jeans at the end of an evening.

How do the rock stars use their money? What do they do when the money stars pouring in like water? Most of the young stars simply show the money around. England's Elton John gave someone a ＄38,000 Rolls Royce car and bought himself 5,000 pairs of eyeglasses then lighted up and spelt E-L-T-O-N. He also bought himself two cars, "one for each foot."

Many rock stars live like Grace Slick and Jefferson Airplane. Those performers return from a tour, pay their bills, and buy new toys. Then when they need money again, they do another tour. They save no money and live　 from hand to mouth.

After two or three years riches and fame(名声) are gone. Left with his memories and his tax problems, the lonely ex-performer spends his remaining years trying to attract strangers. But new stars have arrived to take his place.

Ask three people to look out the same window at a busy street and tell you what they see. Probably you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene , but each perceive (察觉 ) something different about it.

Perceiving goes in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window one may say that he sees a policeman giving a driver a ticket.

Tourism probably started in Roman times. Rich Romans visited friends and family who were working in another part of the Roman empire. But when the empire broke down, this kind of tourism stopped.

　　　 In the early 17^th century, the idea of the “Grand Tour” was born. Rich young English people sailed across the English Channel ( 英吉利海峡 ). They visited the most beautiful and important European cities of the time, including Paris in France, and Rome and Venice ( 威尼斯 ) in Italy. Their tours lasted for two to four years, and the tourists stayed a few weeks or months in each city. The “Grand Tour” was an important part of young people’s education --- but only for the rich.

　　　 In the 18^th century, tourism began to change. For example, people in the UK started to visit some towns, such as Bath to “take the waters”. They believed that the water there was good for their health. So large and expensive hotels were built in these towns.

　　　 In the 19^th century, travel became much more popular and faster. When the first railways were built in the 1820s, it was easier for people to travel between towns, so they started to go for holidays by the sea. And some started to have holidays in the countryside as cities became larger , noisier and dirtier.

　　　 Traveling by sea also became faster and safer when the first steamships were built. People began to travel more to far away countries.

　　　 The 20^th century saw cars become more and more popular among ordinary people. Planes were made larger, so ticket prices dropped and more people used them.

　　　 Thus tourism grew. In 1949, Russian journalist Vladimir Raitz started a company called Horizon Holidays. The company organizes everything --- plane tickets, hotel rooms, even food --- and tourists pay for it all before they leave home. The package tour and modern tourist industry was born.

　　　 The first travel agency in China was set up as early as 1949. But tourism did not take off until 1978. In 2002, the industry was worth 500 billion yuan and became an important part of China’s social development.

64.(　　　 ) In the early times, the travelers ______________.

　　　 C. had lots of money　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D. traveled by boat.

65.(　　　 ) __________ played the most important role in the tourism development.

　　　 A. in 1949　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. in Roman times

In the 1930s, a lot of people in the USA were out of work. Among these people was a man named Alfred Butts. He always had an interest in word games and so, to fill his time, he planned a game which he called　 'Lexico'. However, he was not completely pleased with the game, so he made a number of changes to it and, in time, changed its name from 'Lexico' to 'Alph' and then to 'Criss Cross'. He waned to make some money from his new game but he didn't have any real commercial(商业性的) success.

In 1939,　 Butts happened to meet a man named　 Jim Brunot who showed an interest in the new game. The two men worked together on developing the game and in 1948 it was offered for sale in the United States under its new name --- 'Scrabble'.

At first, it didn't sell very well. In the first year it sold just 2,250 sets and by 1951 it had only reached 8,500 sets a year.

Then , in 1952, the manager of Macy's department store in New York, Jack Strauss , happened to play 'Scrabble'　 while he was on holiday. He thought it was a wonderful game and, when he went back to work after his holiday, he insisted that Macy's should stock(储备) the game and make an effort to call the public's attention to it.

As a result, 'Scrabble' became a big success in the United States and it soon spread to Australia and then to other English-speaking countries.

A truly great song can never be heard too many times. This is certainly true of Gloria Estefan's song "Reach" , which she sang at the closing ceremony of Atlanta Olympic Games earlier this year. Now the American singer's voice will be reaching us via(通过) the sound waves of Joy FM.
