Most people think that the capital of the movie world is Hollywood in the United States. However, the real movie capital is Mumbai, in India. Mumbai used to be known as Bombay, so the film industry there is called “Bollywood”. Bollywood makes twice as many movies each year as Hollywood—more than 800 films a year.

The movies from Bollywood are very different from Hollywood movies. For one thing, Bollywood movies 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.)

Another big difference between Bollywood and Hollywood movies is the way the movies are made. It takes much longer to make a movie in Hollywood than in Bollywood. In fact, filming may begin earlier in a Bollywood movie before the script (剧本) is finished. The directors and writers can make up the story while the film is being made. Sometimes they will even write the script by hand instead of taking time to type it.

Bollywood actors are very popular and some are in such high demand that they may work on several movies at the same time. They may even shoot scenes for several films on the same day using the same clothes and scenery. 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 and directors. This also helps keep the cost of Bollywood movies lower than that of Hollywood movies. A Bollywood film, with an average budget (预算) of only two million U. S. dollars, seems very cheap compared with an average budget of sixty million U. S. dollars for a Hollywood film—thirty times as much!

51. Whats the main topic of the passage?

A. Famous stars in Bollywood. B. How Hollywood movies are made.

C. The history of movie-making in India. D. The differences between two movie industries.

52. Which is true about Mumbai?

A. It is the movie capital of India. B. Its new name is Bombay.

C. Fewer movies are made there than in Hollywood. D. The film industry there is called “Hollywood”.

53. Why are Bollywood films often called “masala” films?

A. They show Indian culture. B. They have interesting stories.

C. They mix different styles of movies. D. They are much longer than Hollywood films.

54. Why Bollywood movies are cheap to make?

A. They are shorter than Hollywood films. B. The scripts are written by hand.

C. The movies do not use any special effects. D. Most movies reuse things from other movies.

55. Which of these statements would the writer probably agree with?

A. Most Bollywood movies are very similar. B. Hollywood movies are too violent.

C. It costs a lot of money to make a good movie. D. Only Indian people can understand Bollywood movies.

When Charles Stratton was five, he stopped growing. His mother took him to see the famous showman, P. T. Barnum. Mr Barnum thought a small person would be the perfect addition to his show. He hired Charles parents along with him, and they traveled the world together.

He gave the two-foot-tall Charles a name, General Tom Thumb. He taught Tom how to sing, dance, act and tell jokes. When he felt Tom was ready to perform on stage, he made up ads. To stir up (激起) great interest, he said that Tom was eleven years old and had come from England.

During the show, Tom fought battles pretendedly with tall people. He also danced upon a wooden plate held by a person who was eight feet tall. Toms act was very popular and brought in a lot of money. By the time Tom was an adult, he had grown very rich. He had become a billionaire at the age of twenty five.

Fortunately for Tom, Mr Barnum added more little people to his show, and Tom became lucky in love as well. One of the little people was Lavinia Warren, a schoolteacher. Tom was able to win her love, and they married.

The ceremony and reception were the talk of the town. They were attended by many rich and famous people and by about 2000 guests. Crowds filled the streets of New York to have a look at their tiny wedding marriage. The couple even met with President Abraham Lincoln on their honeymoon just before going to live in Toms house in Connecticut.

Their wedding, which took place during the Civil War, provided a welcome escape from the sad problems of war.
