1_____. However, the real movie capital is Mumbai, in India. Mumbai used to be known as Bombay,
and so the film industry there is called "Bollywood". Bollywood makes twice as many movies each year
as Hollywood-more than 800 films a year.
2_____. For one thing. Bollywood movies are much longer than most Hollywood movies. Most
Bollywood movies are more than three hours long, and contain singing, dancing, action, adventure,
mystery, and romance. Because Bollywood films contain so many different features, this style of film
is sometimes called a "masala" film.("Masala" is an Indian word for a mixture of spices.)
3_____. It takes much longer to make a movie in Hollywood than in Bollywood. In fact, filming may
begin on a Bollywood movie before the script (剧本) is even finished. The director and writers can make
up the story while the film is being made. 4_____.
Bollywood actors are very popular and some are in such high demand that they may work on several
movies at the same time. 5_____. Since most Bollywood movies follow the same kind of story, shooting
scenes for several films at the same time is not a big problem for actors or directors. This also helps keep
the cost of Bollywood movies lower than the cost of Hollywood movies. The average Bollywood film,
with a budget (预算) of only two million U. S. dollars, seems very cheap compared to the average budget
of sixty million U.S. dollars for a Hollywood film-thirty times as much! |
A. Another big difference between Bollywood and Hollywood movies is the way the movies are made.
B. Bollywood produces more movies than Hollywood.
C. Most people think that the capital of the movie world is Hollywood, in the United States.
D. They may even shoot secens for several films on the same day using the same, clothes and scenery.
E. Only Indian people can understand Bollywood movies.
F. Sometimes they will even write the script by hand instead of taking time to type it.
G. The movies from Bollywood are very different from Hollywood movies. |

In Eastern Europe, blue jeans symbolize (象征) American culture and "the good life". In Spain they are
known as "cowboys". In China, jeans are known as ｎｉｕｚａｉｋｕ, also, "cowboy trousers", which
means they are connected with the American West cowboy culture and outdoor work.
Jeans are usually made from denim (粗布), but may also be made from other materials. The earliest
known cloth for jeans was a thick cotton cloth from the Indians. At first they were working clothes. They
became popular among teenagers in the 1950s. Today jeans are a very popular form of casual wear around
the world and come in many styles and colors.
Jeans were first made in Genoa in Italy. The trousers were made for the Genoese navy (海军) because
they needed trousers which could be worn wet or dry, and whose legs could be easily rolled up while the
men were cleaning the ships. These jeans would be washed by pulling them in large fishing nets behind the
ship, and the sea water would make them white.
In the 1850s Levi Strauss, a business man living in San Francisco, was selling blue jeans under the
"Levi"s" name to the coal workers of California.
During World War II, the coal workers liked jeans very much because they were strong and did not tear
easily. In the 1950s, jeans became popular with young people in the United States. Wearing of blue jeans by
teenagers was the symbol of rebels (反叛者) in TV programmes and movies. Some cinemas and restaurants
refused to let people in if they wore blue jeans. In the 1980s, jeans finally became high fashion clothing, when
famous designers started making their own styles of jeans, with their own labels on them. Sales of jeans went
up and up. |

At airports, porters usually get a dollar tip for each bag. Hotel bellhops (男侍) usually get a dollar for
carrying one or two suitcases. A hotel door attendant (服务生) gets about a dollar for getting a taxi for
people. Many people also tip hotel room attendants, especially when they stay in a hotel for several days.

The usual tip for other kinds of services--for example, for taxi drivers, barbers, hairdressers, waiters
