Read the passage and decide whether the following statements are True (T) or False (F)
The Beatles
The Beatles were one of the most influential music groups of the rock era, and many consider
them the best musical group on Earth Initially they affected the post-war baby boom generation
of Britain and the
u s during the 1960s, and later the rest of the world Certainly they were the most successful
group, with global sales exceeding 1.1 billion records
While they were originally famous for light-weight pop music (and the extreme hysterical
reaction they received from young women), their later works achieved a combination of popular and critical acclaim perhaps unequaled in the 20th century
Eventually, they became more than recording artists, branching out into film and - particularly in the case of John Lennon - political activism They achieved an iconic status beyond mere
celebrity, with far reaching effects difficult to exaggerate
The members of the group were John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo
Starr, all from Liverpool, England
Beatlemania began in the UK and exploded following the appearance of the Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show in the United States, on February 9,1964 The pop-music band became a
worldwide phenomenon with worshipful fans, hysterical adulation, and denunciations by culture commentators and others such as Frank Sinatra
Trang 6Some of this was confusion over the sources of their music (a similar confusion was evinced in
1956 over Elvis Presley by commentators who were unaware of the tradition of blues, R&B and gospel out of which Presley emerged), and some of it was simply an incredulous reaction to the length of their hair At any rate, it was regarded by the band members with both awe and
resentment
6 They were the best selling group in history
7 All the members were from Liverpool
8 They appeared on TV on February 9,1964
9 There was some confusion about the sources of their music
10 Their music was copied by Elvis Presley

original sentence
