【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。记叙了作者从小热爱音乐，并和自己的乐队靠“滑稽爵士乐”出名的经过。
【1题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：起初，我们靠在街上演奏乐器赚钱。短语depend on/upon“取决于；依靠”。故填on/upon。
【2题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意：不久，我们的“滑稽爵士乐”就出名了，我们被邀请到各地演出。本句主语与谓语动词构成被动关系，且根据上文our “funny jazz” became famous可知应用一般过去时，故填were invited。
【3题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：大约售出了一百万册，我们变得富有和受欢迎。copy为可数名词，根据上文one million可知应用复数形式，故填copies。
