TASK 3 READING

Read the paragraphs from A to F. Then put them into the correct order. Mark your answers on the
answer sheet.

A rebellious musician
A. Shortly after forming the Beatles, Lennon married an art school classmate, Cynthia Powell, with whom he
had a son, Julian, in 1963. Their marriage was rocky, especially after Lennon began openly dating an older
Japanese-American artist named Yoko Ono. Cynthia divorced John in 1968, clearing the way for John and
Yoko to begin living and working together full time. Shortly after the release of 1968’s The Beatles (better
known as The White Album), John and Yoko released the experimental ‘found sound’ collection Unfinished
Music, No. 1 -- Two Virgins. The cover of this album featured a naked photo of the couple, causing it to be
banned from many stores.
B. One of the Beatles’ members, John Winston Lennon, was born on October 9, 1940 to a working-class
Liverpool family. John’s father left his mother when John was only three, so at an early age Lennon was sent
to live with his aunt in the suburb of Woolton - a suburb in Liverpool. John was a rebellious child. Lennon
frequently skipped school and hung around instead of studying. He left High School at age 16 after his aunt
persuaded the headmaster to write him a recommendation to Liverpool Art College.
C. In late 1969 Lennon informed the group that he wanted to quit the band, but because the contract
negotiations were underway with EMI records, his decision was kept quiet. Lennon intensified his political
actions, paying for billboards in various cities that called for the end of war. In the spring of 1971 Lennon and
Yoko Ono moved to New York City and they soon separated. Here Lennon developed a friendship with Elton
John, with whom he co-wrote the song ‘Whatever Gets You Through the Night.’ On Thanksgiving night in
1974 Lennon joined Elton John onstage at Madison Square Garden in New York, a legendary performance
which turned out to be Lennon’s last public concert.
D. At Art College Lennon became involved in music. He bought a guitar and started a music band called the
Quarrymen, which later evolved into the Beatles. Lennon remained a principle singer and songwriter for the
band through its decade-long career, sharing these duties with Paul McCartney. The pair agreed early on to
share songwriting credits, though they directly collaborated on only a few of the Beatles’ hits. Though the
Quarrymen started in 1957, it was not until 1960 that it was renamed into the Beatles.
E. By the end of 1975, things had turned around for Lennon - Elton John had helped John and Yoko resolve
their personal problems. In early 1980 Lennon came out of retirement and signed a new record deal with
Geffen Records. Lennon seemed to be ready to join the band again. However, while leaving his New York
apartment on December 8, Lennon was approached by one of his fans who requested an autograph. Lennon
gave his autograph. When John returned home several hours later, the fan was still outside his apartment and
shot Lennon several times. He died minutes later, and the crazed fan, Mark David Chapman, was quickly
arrested.
F. Lennon and Yoko Ono became the subject of media attention as reporters speculated that Yoko Ono was
‘controlling’ Lennon and causing trouble for the beloved Beatles. In the spring of 1969, shortly after the
trouble-filled Get Back sessions were completed, Lennon and pregnant Yoko Ono took a ‘honeymoon trip’ to
Europe, stopping along the way to get married in Gibraltar on March 20th. The newlyweds returned to
England in May 1969. As Lennon spent more time collaborating with Yoko Ono, he began to distance
himself from the other Beatles.
