NEW YORK— The band Atomic Tom has scored an Internet hit with its self-created video to the song Take Me Out. In the video, the band members ride a New York City subway while performing entirely on iPhones, with applications linked with broadcasters(播送设备) for each instrument.

Singer Luck White says the production was a top-secret operation. “We didn’t tell anyone about this. It was completely top-secret from our family, from our friends, from management, from everybody. So the first time that people saw this video was last Friday when we put it on YouTube,”explained White.

It has been watched by more than 2 million on YouTube since debuting(首次露面) last week. “All I’ve wanted to do for the past few days is just stare at the YouTube page and keep refreshing(刷新) it to see how far it will go,” said Espiritu, the lead guitarist of the band.

“The Internet changed everything,” Espiritu said. “ It's kind of an exciting time because it forces everyone to　 be creative and find new ways to get your name out there.”

The idea for the video came from Espiritu’s 24-year-old brother Benjamin, who’s hoping to go to film school. “I've seen a lot of these music applications, and they’re fascinating to me,” Benjamin Espiritu said, “I thought: What would happen if iPhones took over the world? If there could actually be a band that played straight through with iPhones, what would that look like?” So they shot(拍摄) the video —with iPhones also serving as video cameras. The band also tried Union Square but were stopped during playing because they didn't have a permit.

“The YouTube views are translating into album(唱片) sales.” Espiritu said, “We’ve seen the jump.” Their album has been in the top 10 albums on iTunes.

Will their fans start cheering for iPhone-only performances? “We’ve gotten the most exposure(曝光)and the most fans that we’ve ever gotten through this, so I wouldn’t be surprised if fans are going to want to see that.” Espritu said.

1.Who first saw the band’s video to the song Take Me Out?

A. Their friends　　　　 B. Their family

C. The people online　　 D. Their management.

2.What did Espiritu mean by saying “The YouTube views are translating into album sales”?

A. The YouTube views make the album sales increase.

B. The band has translated the video on the YouTube.

C. People need to pay for the video if they view it on the YouTube.

D. People who have viewed the video on the YouTube should buy an album.

3. What would be the best title for this text?

A. Atomic Tom’s iPhone Subway Performance

B. Take Me Out—Atomic Tom’s New Song

C. A Band’s Performance through YouTube

D. A Band’s iPhone Song Take Me Out Hits Big

A new urban sport, parkour, is hitting the streets. It has evolved from obstacle course training into a fitness option for young people. In parkour, the outside world is the gym! 1. The goal of parkour is a direct route from one place to another. You meet an obstacle, you overcome it.

Mark Toorock, who teaches the techniques of parkour at his fitness gym, says that parkour is a method to train the body and mind using obstacles as the medium. He says that this new sport is demanding and takes years to master. 2.

But Toorock, who used to be a martial arts expert, says that everyone can benefit from learning the basic skills involved in parkour like running, jumping and crawling (爬行). These are the things that humans used to have to do all the time. 3. The original idea of parkour was to return to running and jumping as basic elements in moving from one place to another.

Georges Hebert, a French navy officer, was so impressed by the effortless athleticism of African tribes that he devised a training method based on running, climbing, jumping, balancing and throwing. The word parkour comes from parcours de combatant, the French term for a military obstacle course. 4.

Dr Kenneth Kao explains that the sport of parkour is not extreme — it is the environment which is extreme and dangerous. Being outside, jumping off railings and flipping over park benches can be quite frightening, so parkour courses in gyms concentrate on practicing all the individual moves to make everything easier. 5. However, that is not real parkour because it’s indoors with a fixed obstacle. The goal for everyone is to go outdoors.

A.Gyms provide thick floor matting (垫子) for rolling and rubberized boxes for jumping over.

B.The bridges, buildings and railings (栏杆) of each and every city are the equipment.

C.Every action in parkour is natural, so everyone must have the ability to move in this way.

D.Parkour was introduced into china in recent years and has gained popularity.

E.But today, due to modern transport, these basic skills are no longer used on a regular basis.

F.The French word for people who participate in the sport is traceurs or traceuses.

G.Beginners should realize that they won’t be jumping over buildings any time soon!
