Colin Boyle was born in 1973 near Dublin, Ireland. While he was ill in hospital at age 10, his uncle gave him an old violin. He loved it right away. After he left the hospital, he practiced at his school every day after class.

One day in 1987, John Leaf, the manager (經(jīng)紀(jì)人) of several successful musicians, came to Colin’s school. He was having a meeting with the headmaster when he heard Colin practicing. After the meeting, he found Colin and invited him to appear in one of the concerts he was organizing that year. Colin, however, refused Leaf ‘s invitation because just then he was preparing for some important school exams. Years later, Colin made it to college to study engineering. At college he met Kim O’Malley, who was studying chemistry (化學(xué)). Kim was also good at music. Being students, they didn’t have much money and they usually worked in a restaurant on weekends.

One evening in April 1992, while Colin and Kim were at work, they heard that there would be no live (現(xiàn)場(chǎng)演出的) music in the restaurant that night because the singer could not come. Colin and Kim persuadedthe owner of the restaurant to let them play. Everyone was shocked to hear how good they were. After that, they worked hard together and improved greatly in music.

When the first Ice Age film came out in 2002, a group of cute animals became well-known in the world. Now Time For Kids (TFK) talks with actress and singer Keke Palmer. Keke Palmer voices (給……配音) a mammoth called Peaches in Ice Age: Collision Course, the fifth Ice Age film.

(T=TFK, P=Palmer)

T: 1.1.

P: In this Ice Age, Peaches is getting ready to get married (結(jié)婚). But her dad can’t accept the fact that she will leave him. So Peaches tries to make her dad believe that change is coming and he has to accept this new form of their relationship.

T:2.2.

P: To tell the truth, I have a lot in common with her. She’s very close with her mom, and I’m close with my mom. And like her, I also try my best to be independent.

T: 3.3.

P: Fun but educational. You know, Ice Age has always been so popular because it conveys (傳遞) deep messages but still finds a way to keep it fun for kids.

T: 4.4.

P: I think kids will see that change is a good thing — it’s the opening of new doors in their life.

T:5.5.
