Since the 1950s, most of the stars of pop music have come from Britain and America. Howver, in the last ten years, when many different kinds of music have established themselves on the pop scene, more and more stars have come from other countries.

Pop music changes all the time and new stars appear and become famous. For a musician to stay popular and still produced good, original music over a long period of time, is a sign of true star.

Most stars start their careers in a simple way---- playing in unknown night clubs or dance-hall where people want to dance to the music, not listen to it. They may have continued doing this for many years untill they get a “break”---- a chance to perform in a well –known place or get a recording contract. To become a star is the aim of every singer or musician and the dream of many a pop-crazy teenager.

However a group or star makes it to the top, they can be sure that their lives will change once they are successful. Ordinary teenagers living at home with their parents may suddenly find themselves rich enough to buy their own houses. An established superstar may be able to buy several.

Despite the large amount of money that are earned, life at the top is not easy for many stars.. The pop scene is hard work and many stars need to spend a lot of time away from home. For a lot of them, this means they have no home life and their personal relationships suffer. Despite great public success, life at the top can be very lonely.

　　巢谷，字元修。父中世，眉山农家也，少从士大夫读书，老为里校师。谷幼传父学，虽朴而博。举进士京师，见举武艺者，心好之。谷素多力，遂弃其旧学，畜弓箭，习骑射。久之业成，而不中第。

　　予之在朝，谷浮沉里中，未尝一见。绍圣初，予以罪谪居筠州，自筠徙雷，自雷徙循。予兄子瞻亦自惠再徙昌化，士大夫皆讳与予兄弟游，平生亲友无复相闻者。谷独慨然自眉山诵言，欲徒步访吾兄弟。闻者皆笑其狂。元符二年春正月，自梅州遗予书曰：“我万里步行见公，不自意全，今至梅矣，不旬日必见，死无恨矣。”予惊喜曰：“此非今世人，古之人也。”既见握手相泣已而道平生逾月不厌时谷年七十有三矣瘦瘠多病非复昔日元修也。将复见子瞻于海南，予愍其老且病，止之曰：“君意则善，然自此至儋数千里，复当渡海，非老人事也。”谷曰：“我自视未即死也，公无止我。”留之不可，阅其橐中无数十钱，予方乏困，亦强资遣之。船行至新会，有蛮隶窃其橐装以逃，获于新州，谷从之至新，遂病死。予闻哭之失声，恨其不用吾言，然亦奇其不用吾言而行其志也。

　　昔赵襄子厄于晋阳，知伯率韩、魏决水围之。城不沉者三版，县釜而爨，易子而食，群臣皆懈，惟高恭不失人臣之礼。及襄子用张孟谈计，三家之围解，行赏群臣，以恭为先。谈曰：“晋阳之难，惟恭无功，曷为先之？”襄子曰：“晋阳之难，群臣皆懈，惟恭不失人臣之礼，吾是以先之。”谷于朋友之义，实无愧高恭者，惜其不遇襄子，而前遇存宝，后遇予兄弟。予方杂居南夷，与之起居出入，盖将终焉。虽知其贤，尚何以发之？闻谷有子蒙，在泾原军中，故为作传，异日以授之。（节选自苏辙《巢谷传》有删节）
