Question 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 are based on the following passage:
In the 1960s, The Beatles were probably the most famous pop group in the whole world. Since then,
there have been a great many groups that have achieved enormous fame, so it is perhaps difficult now
to imagine how sensational The Beatles were at that time. They were four boys from the north of
England and none of them had any training in music. They started by performing and recording songs by
black Americans and they had some success with these songs. Then they started writing their own songs
and that was when they became really popular. The Beatles changed pop music. They were the first pop
group to achieve great success from songs they had written themselves. After that it became common
for groups and singers to write their own songs. The Beatles did not have a long career. Their first hit
record was in 1963 and they split up in 1970. They stopped doing live performances in 1966 because it
had become too dangerous for them – their fans were so excited that they surrounded them and tried to
take their clothes as souvenirs! However, today some of their songs remain as famous as they were when
they first came out. Throughout the world, many people can sing part of a Beatles song if you ask them.
