Ex3 P54 Put the sentences into the passage
One dozen beautiful young women, all in their twenties, take the stage and stand before a variety of ancient musical instruments. (1) The moment they start to play, it is clear the members of Twelve Girls Band are among the most gifted musicians in the world. Coming from China, Twelve Girls Band is already one of that country’s most popular groups. As they build a musical bridge between the east and west, Twelve Girls Band charms the people of many nations around the world. A best-selling act all over Asia, Twelve Girls Band fills concert halls and arenas there, and has now been discovered by America. In 2004, the group arrived on the US music scene at No.62 of the Billboard 200 album chart. It was the highest entry by an Asian group. In Japan, Twelve Girls band is already a supergroup. It has sold more than two million records, and has even appeared in the TV ads for chocolate and cellphones, among other products. A Japanese DVD of Twelve Girls Band live in concert sold over 200,000 copies, and their live performances have been seen on TV around the world. In 2004 they were named International Artist of the Year at the Japan Golden Disc Award ceremonies. (2) Each member of the Twelve Girls Band has classical training, with backgrounds that include the China Academy of Music, the Chinese National Orchestra, the Central Conservatory of Music. Skilled multi-instruments, they perform on traditional instruments that include the guzheng, the yangqin, the erhu, the pipa, the dizi and xiao. (3) The group’s appeal is equally as broad, with children, teens, adults and grandparents filling arenas to see it perform. (4) American critics noticed the mixture of pieces by Mazart and Beethoven, with Jazz standards like Dave Brubeck’s Take Five, or a version of a much-loved classic such as Simon and Garfunkel’s El Condor Pasa.
