[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 Ireland³ 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 Irish⁴ Republic⁵,
[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 fortnight⁶.
[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 African⁷ 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 hunger⁸ was only one of the problems
[06:05.66]in the African countries which he visited.
[06:10.63]He started thinking⁹ 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 persuaded¹⁰ all the world-famous¹¹
[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 airlines¹² to fly the pop stars for free.
[07:14.60]He told the BBC¹³ 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 programme¹⁴.
[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 further¹⁵ 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
