NEW YORK— The band Atomic Tom has scored an Internet hit with its self-created video to the song
Take Me Out. In the video, the band members ride a New York City subway while performing entirely on iPhones, with applications linked with mini-battery powered broadcasters for each instrument.
Singer Luck White says the production was a top-secret operation.
"We didn't tell anyone about this. It was completely top-secret from our family, from our friends, from management, from everybody. So the first time that people saw this video was last Friday when we put it on YouTube,"explained White.
It has been watched by more than 2 million on YouTube since debuting(首次露面) 
last week. "All I've wanted to do for the past few days is just stare at the YouTube page and keep refreshing it to see how far it will go, " said Espiritu, the lead guitarist of the band.
"The Internet changed everything,"Espiritu said. "It's kind of an exciting time because it forces everyone to adjust and be creative and find new ways to get your name out there."
The idea for the video came from Espiritu's 24-year-old brother Benjamin, who's hoping to go to film school. " I've seen a lot of these music applications, and they're kind of fascinating to me,"Benjamin Espiritu said. " I thought: 'What would happen if iPhones kind of took over the world? If there could actually be a band that played straight through with iPhones, what would that look like?'" So they shot(拍摄) the video —with iPhones also serving as video cameras. The band also tried Union Square but were stopped during playing because they didn't have a permit.
"The YouTube views are translating into album sales,"Espiritu said. "We've seen the jump." Their album has been in the top 10albums on iTunes.
Will their fans start cheering for iPhone-only performances? "We've gotten the most exposure(曝光)and teh most fans that we've ever gotten through this, so I wouldn't be surprised if fans are going to want to see that." Espritu said.
- Who first saw the ban's video to the song Take Me Out?
A. Their friends B. Their family C. The people online D. Their management.
- What did Espiritu mean by saying "The YouTube views are translating into album sales"?
A. The You Tube views make the album sales increase.
B. The band has changed the video on the YouTube into an album.
C. People need to pay for the video if they view it on the YouTube.
D. People who have viewed the video on the YouTube should buy an album.
- What can we learn from the text?
A. It was Espiritu who came up with teh idea of the video.
B. Benjamin thought iPhones would take over the world.
C. The band also managed to shoot the video in the Union Square.
D. Espiritu thought it was possible fro their fans to prefer iPhone-only performances.
- What would be the best title for this text?
A. Atomic Tom's iPhone Subway Performance B. Take Me Out—Atomic Tom's New Song
C. A band's performance through YouTube D. A Band's iPhone single Take Me Out Hits Big
