[02:32.95]Read the passage to find answers to these questions:

[02:38.69]1.What did Bob ask his pop star friends to do?

[02:45.46]2.What was the purpose of doing this?

[02:50.81]AN INTERESTING LIFE (1)

[02:56.69]Bob Geldof is one of the most famous pop stars of the twentieth century.

[03:04.24]His greatest success has not been in singing

[03:08.81]but in organizing other singers to sing for him--for free!

[03:15.27]Bob Geldof was born in Ireland 3 in 1954.

[03:21.01]His mother died when he was seven.

[03:25.09]When he was fourteen he became interested in pop groups.

[03:31.15]He left school and worked first in a food factory

[03:35.69]and later as a worker building roads.

[03:40.26]He went to Canada where he wrote about music for a newspaper.

[03:45.83]In 1975 he returned to Dublin,the capital of the Irish 4 Republic 5,

[03:52.80]where he formed his own pop group.

[03:56.93]From 1979 to 1982 they were the top group in Britain,

[04:04.17]but in 1982 the group stopped playing together.

[04:09.31]Bob Geldof's life changed one October evening in 1984 when he was watching TV.

[04:17.78]He became sad and angry when he saw pictures of hungry people in Africa.

[04:23.84]He felt that he wanted to do something to help them.

[04:28.59]Suddenly he had the idea of making a pop record.

[04:33.45]If they managed to sell lots of copies,

[04:37.89]then the money from the record sales

[04:41.84]could be spent on food and other things for Africa.

[04:46.69]He rang up all his friends in the pop world,including the most famous pop stars.

[04:53.64]They all agreed to sing on his record for free.

[04:58.29]The record "Do they know it's Christmas"

[05:03.26]was produced and Bob made sure that it was played many times on the radio.

[05:09.60]So many copies were sold

[05:13.86]that the factory was producing 320,000 copies of the record every day.

[05:21.31]In the USA 1.5 million copies were sold in the first fortnight 6.

[05:28.96]By January 1985,5 million pounds had been collected

[05:35.93]and this soon increased to 8 million pounds (about 80 million yuan).

[05:42.70]After the success of this record,Bob went to six African 7 countries.

[05:49.18]He wanted to see for himself what the problems were.

[05:54.04]He also wanted to see how the money should be spent.

[05:59.60]He soon realised that hunger 8 was only one of the problems

[06:05.66]in the African countries which he visited.

[06:10.63]He started thinking 9 about another project.

[06:15.67]Lesson 103  1.Reading

[06:28.62]AN INTERESTING LIFE (2)

[06:33.30]Bob Geldof's next project was even bigger.

[06:38.86]He had the idea of organizing two big pop concerts on the same day

[06:45.42]one in England and one in the USA.

[06:50.07]He persuaded 10 all the world-famous 11

[06:55.22]pop stars to come and sing at one of these concerts for free.

[07:01.28]He also persuaded other people to provide money or to give help.

[07:07.44]For example,Bob asked all the airlines 12 to fly the pop stars for free.

[07:14.60]He told the BBC 13 that he wanted 17 hours of non-stop TV time

[07:21.76]so that both concerts could be shown on television.

[07:26.62]On July 13th 1985 the concerts were held.

[07:33.46]85% of the world's TV sets were turned on

[07:38.89]and about 1.5 billion people in 160 countries watched the programme 14.

[07:47.15]The two concerts cost 4 million dollars,

[07:52.42]but 7 million dollars were collected from ticket sales

[07:57.57]and a further 15 7 million dollars came from radio and TV companies.

[08:04.10]By the end of the year,

[08:07.65]the total money collected had come to over 92 million dollars,

[08:13.90]all of which were sent to Africa
