Alexis and Zoe were sitting at the kitchen table doing homework. They were having a hard time concentrating on their homework because the radio station was playing music from their favourite band, the Shape Shifters.
“I can’t believe the Shifters are going to be playing here and we can’t go!” Alexis sighed.
“I know,” Zoe said angrily. “Tickets were sold out in five minutes, and even if we could get some, they are so-o-o expensive!”
“It’s totally unfair,” said Alexis. “They should give the tickets to their biggest fans first!”
“You mean us, right?”
“Obviously,” laughed Alexis. “Everyone knows we’re their number one fans.”
Zoe turned the radio up a little louder. Their favourite song was on, and the girls had an impromptu (即兴的) dance party right there in the kitchen. Using a pencil and a banana as microphones, they sang the lyrics loudly they knew so well.
As it ended, they fall out of the chairs again. The radio disc jockey (电台的音乐节目主持人) started talking about the concert.
“That was ‘Fake It Til You Make It,’ by the Shape Shifters,” the D.J. announced loudly.
“They are playing in town this weekend, and we’re giving away two tickets to Saturday’s sold-out show, right now! We’re looking for the 10th caller who can correctly answer this question: Who is the oldest member of the Shape Shifters, Georgie or Natasha?”
