GUESS what’s making 9 million US teenagers scream at the top of their voices this summer? It's not the Hulk or Iron man hitting someone across a room, but the catchy beat of the music in Disney's latest TV movie Camp Rock, which came out in the US on June 20. The show attracted more than 8.9 million viewers.

So how does Camp Rock attract so many viewers? One reason is that it features the hugely popular boy band the Jonas Brothers, whom all the girls seem to adore.

But what's the story?

Connect Three is a rock group. One member, Shane Gray (Joe Jonas)needs to get rid of his bad boy rocker image, so he's sent by fellow band members Nate (Nick Jonas)and Jason (Kevin Jonas) to a music camp as a guest instructor(指导). The idea is the camp will help him clean up his act.

       There he meets Mitchie Torres (Demi Lovato), a teenage girl with an extraordinary voice and a driving ambition(志向)to be a pop singer. However, she can only afford to be at the expensive camp by helping her mom work in the mess hall (食堂)between classes.

       When Shane overhears Mitchie singing from behind closed doors, he sets out to find the girl with the beautiful voice.

      One group of teenagers was really eager to watch the movie. The kids took their positions on the floor to countdown to show time. One of them, Leah Karrels, 16, even sang the movie's theme(主题歌), We Rock. She explained that she's seen the trailer (预告片) so many times she knows the words by heart.

       The girls cheered when the movie began, and for the next two hours the only time they got up was to run for chocolate ice cream cake from the freezer.

       "I'm sure this is going to knock High School Musical off the shelves in stores. This is the next big thing," said Leah.
