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, and so the film industry(產(chǎn)業(yè))there is called “Bollywood”. Each year, Bollywood makes twice as many movies as Hollywood.
The movies from Bollywood are very different from Hollywood movies. For one thing, Bollywood movies are longer than most Hollywood movies. Most Bollywood movies are more than three hours long, and contain singing, dancing, adventure, mystery and romance. Because Bollywood films has so many different characters, this style of film is called a “masala” film. Masala is an Indian word for a mixture(混合) of spices(調(diào)味品).
Another big difference is the way the movies are made. It takes longer to make a movie in Hollywood than in Bollywood. In fact, filming may begin on a Bollywood movie before the script(劇本) is finished. The director and writers can make up the story while the filming is being made. Sometimes they even write the script by hand instead of typing it.
Bollywood actors are so popular that some of them may even work on several movies at the same time. They may even make several different films on the same day using the same costumes(戲裝) 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 or directors. This also helps to keep the cost(成本) of Bollywood movies lower than the cost of Hollywood movies.
1.What is Not True about Mumbai?
A. It is the movie capital of India.
B. The new name is Bombay.
C. More movies are made there than in Hollywood.
D. It is less expensive to make films there than in Hollywood.
2.Why are Bollywood films often called “masala” films?

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項
I arrived home late one night last week. I spent a moment looking up into the night sky. The stars above shone(照耀) brightly. The sky looked really beautiful.
I started to think about other things as I stared at the night sky. It hit me clearly that these beautiful stars were always there but I had spent very little time in the past really appreciating them. It also reminded me that we often think we deserve many things around us, being too caught up in our own little world. It is a world filled with busy work and the demands placed on us from what we have allowed to take up our time.
Recently, I was asked to repair a house for a family member. When I arrived, it seemed like any other day when I spent my time doing something I knew how to do. But there was something else that came to mind as I started to work with my son-in-law. I considered it a good opportunity. The opportunity was more than just spending time repairing a house. It was an opportunity to further a bond between two people who are related by marriage but are unrelated through few experiences. It was an opportunity to build a stronger bond, a bond that can only happen when two people are exposed(暴露) to each other’s skills and faults. It was also an opportunity to share my knowledge and experience with another who wanted to learn.
There are many chances to see beyond what is viewed as normal, but we must be able to actually open our eyes and heart to these events and appreciate them. To be in tune with what is around you, you must use the attitude of a child who screams with joy the first time they see a rainbow, hear the pretty song of a bird, or enjoy the beauty of Christmas decorations.
1.While looking at the night sky, the author realized that __________.
A. the sky wasn’t always beautiful
B. he had wasted his life for many years
C. he didn’t know what he really wanted
D. he didn’t appreciate things around him
2. What does the underlined word “bond” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Relationship. B. Friendship.
C. Trust. D. Respect.
3.While repairing the house, the author considered it a good opportunity to _________.
A. learn some important skills
B. show others his skills and faults
C. become closer with his son-in-law
D. earn some money for his family
4. Why does the author talk about what a child does in the last paragraph?
A. Because children know what they really want.
B. Because children can help us think of our childhood.
C. Because children can enjoy the simple beauty of things.
D. Because children actually value family more than adults do.

Traveling without a map in different countries，I find out about different“styles”of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”
Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don’t have name signs：in Japan，people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names．For example，the Japanese will say to travelers，“Go straight down to the corner．Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market．The post office is across from the bus stop．”
People in Los Angeles，the US，have no idea of distance on the map：they measure distance by time，not miles．“How far away is the post office?”you ask．“Oh,” they answer，“it’s about five minutes from here．” You don’t understand completely，“Yes，but how many miles away is it，please?”To this question you won’t get an answer，because most probably they don’t know it themselves．
People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because tourists seldom understand the Greek language．Instead，a Greek will often say,“ Follow me．”Then he’ll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office．
Sometimes a person doesn’t know the answer to your question．What happens in the situation? A New Yorker might say，“Sorry, I have no idea．”But in Yucatan，Mexico，no one answers “I don’t know．” People there believe that “I don’t” is impolite．They usually give an answer，but often a wrong one．So a tourist can get lost very easily in Yucatan!
However，one thing will help you everywhere in the world．It’s body language．
1.Which of the following is probably an example of Japanese directions?
A．“Go south two miles．Turn west and then go another mile．”
B．“Turn right at the hospital and go past a school．”
C．“The post office is about five minutes from here．”
D．“The post office is at Street Kamira．”
2.Why don’t people in Los Angeles give directions in miles?
A．They use landmarks in their directions instead of distance．
B．They prefer to lead you the way．

Watching some children trying to catch butterflies one August afternoon, I was reminded of an incident in my own childhood. When I was a boy of 12 in South Carolina, something happened to me that cured me forever of wanting to put any wild creature in a cage.
We lived on the edge of a wood, and every evening at dusk the mockingbirds would come and rest in the trees and sing. There isn’t a musical instrument made by man that can produce a more beautiful sound than the song of the mockingbird. I decided that I would catch a young bird and keep it in a cage and that in that case, I would have my own private musician.
I finally succeeded in catching one and put it in a cage. At first, in its fright at being captured , the bird fluttered(拍翅) about the cage, but eventually it settled down in its new home. I felt pleased with myself and looked forward to some beautiful singing from my tiny musician.
I had left the cage out on our back doorway and on the second day of the bird’s captivity(囚禁)， my new pet’s mother flew to the cage with food in her mouth. The baby bird ate everything she brought to it. I was pleased to see this. Certainly the mother knew better than I on how to feed the baby.
The following morning when I went to see how my captive was doing, I discovered it on the floor of the cage, dead. I was shocked! What had happened? I had taken excellent care of my little bird , or so I thought.
Arthur Wayne, the famous ornithologist, happened to be visiting my father at the time and, hearing me crying over the death of my bird, explained what had occurred. “A mother mockingbird, finding her young in a cage, will sometimes bring it poisonous berries(漿果). She thinks it better for her young to die than to live in captivity.”
Never since then have I caught any living creature and put it in a cage. All living creatures have a right to live free.
1.The boy caught a mockingbird because__________.
A. he liked its beautiful feather.
B. he wanted a pet as his companion
C. he wanted it to sing for him
D. he wanted to watch it dance
2.The “ornithologist” probably means __________.
A. a religious person
B. a kind and sympathetic person
C. a school master
D. an expert in birds
3.The most important lesson the boy learned from the accident is that __________ .
A. a bird put in a cage won’t live long
B. you have to be careful about the food you give to your young
C. freedom is valuable to all living creatures
D. you should keep a young bird away from its mother
4.What can we infer according to the passage?
A. The children trying to catch butterflies reminded the author to keep a mockingbird as a pet.
B. The mockingbird sings better than any other bird.
C. The mockingbird’s mother had a better understanding than the author.
D. The author did not catch any living creature and put it in a cage after the accident.

Going on holiday not only makes you feel good while you're there --- you gain the health benefits for months, new research shows.
Jetting off to exotic destinations such as the Maldives cuts your blood pressure, helps you sleep better and bounce back from stress, it found. The benefits last at least a fortnight longer than the vacation and can be felt for months in some cases where it is claimed. Experts say workers should always take their full holiday entitlement each year --- as many as one in three don’t --- to get the benefits.
The study compared key health markers in holidaymakers visiting Thailand, Peru or the Maldives, with people who stayed at home and continued working. The average blood pressure of those on holiday dropped by six percent while the workers saw their blood pressure rise by two percent over the same period. The sleep quality of holidaymakers improved by 17 percent while that of the non-holidaymakers deteriorated by 14 percent.
The study also found the ability of vacationers to recover from stress --- known as the stress-resilience test --- improved by 29 percent. There was a 71 percent fall in stress resilience scores among workers. Tests showed a fall in blood glucose levels, reducing the risk of diabetes, trimmer waistlines and enhanced mood and energy levels, with the effects sustained for at least two weeks after returning home.
The Holiday Health Experiment was conducted by tour operator Kuoni and Nuffield Health, the UK’s largest healthcare charity.
1. According to the passage, how many people go on holiday?
A. One third. B. Two thirds.
C. 17 percent. D. A quarter.
2.Which of the following can we infer from the passage?
A. The further you go, the better the benefits.
B. Most people like to stay at home during the holiday.
C. Holiday makers are more adaptable than non-holidaymakers.
D. The result of the study is mostly based on the description from the people involved.
3.The author intends to tell us that __________.
A. we have to go on holiday as much as possible
B. you’ll certainly get depressed if you don’t go on holiday
C. it is best to go to foreign countries like Maldives
D. we had better go on holiday for the benefit of health
4.The best title of the passage is ________ .
A. Health Benefits from Holiday
B. A Holiday Health Experiment
C. Health Problems of Having Holiday
D. Key Health Markers in Holidaymakers
