Wild West, and a burning building that never burns down? There"s only one place, and that"s Hollywood, in
California. The scenes you see from the tourist train are film sets(布景) in the Universal Studios, one of the
oldest and largest movie companies(公司) in the USA.
A visit to Universal Studios brings back memories of great days of Hollywood, the films and the stars. But
they are only memories. Hollywood isn"t quite the same as it used to be. Costs have gone up and confidence has
gone down. Movie-makers are afraid to spend their money on expensive new ideas. Instead, they repeat old
ones.
The film industry is changing fast. Teenagers still go out to the movies. The theatre is a good place to meet
friends away from home. But older people mostly stay home to watch series, like Dynasty have become as
important to Hollywood as expensive movies. These “soap opera”, as they are called, show rich, powerful
families living in beautiful homes and wearing beautiful clothes. But the actors and actresses are nearly all
middle-aged, like many of the people who watch them.
Though it is soap opears that are keeping the film-makers of Hollywood in Business, big films are still being
made in America. But more and more of them are made outside Hollywood. New York is the most important
new center, but there are many others as well. Movie-makers have realized that they don"t need Hollywood any
more. Modern cameras and real houses instead of expensively made copies in a studio. Other states, especially
Florida and Texas, are working hard to take the film business away from California. They are offering better
working conditions and lower cost.
But Hollywood is fighting back. The state of California is trying hard to keep its best-known industry.
B. a busy London street
C. a famous movie company
D. an old Hollywood movie
B. there is strong competition from other states

C. The making of TV series like Dynasty
D. The expensively made copies of scenes
B. They are much more expensive.
C. They are less attractive.
D. They are cheaper and easier to make.
B. the importance of soap operas in hollywood
C. the good old days of Hollywood
D. the film business in California

repair their houses, do their shopping or mow their lawns. For boys who no longer have fathers there is an
organization called Big Brothers. College students and other men take these boys to baseball games or on
fishing trips and help them to get to know things that boys usually learn from their fathers.
