Have you ever heard of the group Westlife? Maybe you have, but I’m sure many of you don’t know very much about it.
Westlife is an Irish boy band group, which was made up of 6 boys in the beginning and called IOU. The group quickly became popular with young people thanks to their song Swear It Again, which was at the top of the UK charts (排行榜) in April 1999.
Chinese fans got their first chance to see Westlife on March 6th, 2006 in Beijing. Although the four-member group has been singing pop for seven years, the young boys have all since grown up and their songs are still very popular. When they performed in Beijing, Westlife released (发行) their new album Face to Face in China. Face to Face has been at the top of the British charts for a long time. The album’s most popular song You Raise Me Up mixes traditional Irish music with pop music.
Although hip-hop is quite popular among the young, Westlife has no plans to change. They said, “Hip-hop is for the young, but pop can be enjoyed by moms who are busy cooking meals and raising the kids.
【小题1】Westlife is from _________.

Big ocean(海洋)fish have almost disappeared from the world since the start of business fishing in the 1950’s．The scientists found that the number of large fish has dropped by 90 percent in the past fifty years．The study took ten years．The researchers collected records from fishing business and governments around the world．The magazine Nature published the findings．
The scientists say the common way called longline fishing is especially harmful to large fish．This way includes many fishing lines that are connected to one boat．If these lines are joined together，they can reach one hundred kilometers．They hold thousands of sharp metal hooks to catch fish．Longline fishing is especially common in the Japanese fishing industry．Records show that Japanese boats used to catch about ten fish for every hundred hooks．The study says longline fishing boats now might catch one fish per hundred hooks．
The scientists say business fishing can destroy groups of fish much faster than in the past．The study suggests that large fish can disappear almost completely from new fishing areas within ten to fifteen years．Ocean life system could be destroyed．
