【1】根据All the boys were pursuing their own projects by the time it went Platinum.可知，单向乐队是一个男子乐队，故此处用肯定回答，为Yes, it is.

【2】根据All five-Harry, Liam, Louis, Niall and Zayn-were competing in 2010’s season of The X Factor.可知，乐队的五个人是： Harry, Liam, Louis, Niall 和 Zayn。故此处为Harry, Liam, Louis, Niall and Zayn。

【3】根据“UP All Night”, their first album, was a bestseller in both Great Britain and the United States.可知，在英国和美国他们的专辑很畅销，故此处为In both Great Britain and the United States.

【4】根据He left to be “a normal 22-Year-old” and live “out of the spotlight”.“他离开了，做了一个“普通的22岁”，过着“远离聚光灯”的生活。”可知，Zayn离开乐队是想要过着远离聚光灯的生活，故此处为Because he wanted to live “out of the spotlight”.

【5】根据Harry is taking part in a film while Louis is enjoying fatherhood.可知，路易斯正在享受当爸爸的乐趣。故此处为He is enjoying fatherhood just now。

【6】根据All five-Harry, Liam, Louis, Niall and Zayn-were competing in 2010’s season of The X Factor. All five were also cut from the TV talent show before reaching the finals.
