1 . You might be surprised to learn that India produces about 800 movies a year, and that number continues to grow. Just as the movie capital of the United States is Hollywood, the movie capital of India is Bombay (孟买), but it is usually called “Bollywood”, a combination (结合) of the words Bombay and Hollywood.
No Bollywood movie is thought complete without a few songs or dances. In fact, music is an important part of Bollywood movies. Even a bad movie can still do well if the music is good. Music directors are sometimes more popular than the film stars. A Bollywood movie has five to six songs with at least three songs to show what the dances mean.
Bollywood may be different from Hollywood in music, but it is very like Hollywood in several ways. If Tom Cruise can hold a gun, so can the Bollywood hero Shahrukh Khan. Bollywood stars are followed by news reporters just as often as Hollywood stars. The personal lives of actors and actresses catch the headlines (头版头条), just as they do in the United States.
The Oscars are a very exciting time of the year for actors and actresses in America. Bollywood has its own form of the Oscars, and they are also very exciting.

Different countries have different food pyramids. In many countries, there are six kinds of food in the food pyramid. We should eat much important food and eat a little food that is not very important.
Which food should we eat more? The answer is: vegetables, fruit, fish and eggs. And which food should we eat not too much? The answer is: oil (油) and fat meat. Next time, when you have meals, think more about it.

7 . “How are you?” is a nice question. It’s a friendly way that people in the United States greet each other. But when someone says to his friend “How are you?”, he likes the answer “fine” even when his friend isn’t fine. It’s because that “How are you?” isn’t really a question, and “fine” isn’t really an answer. They are common（常见的）ways of saying “Hello” and “Hi”.
Sometimes people also don’t say just what they think. For example, when someone asks, “Do you think so?” the other one may be thinking, “No, I don’t think so. I think you are wrong.” But it doesn’t sound very friendly, so they may say, “I’m not so sure.” It’s a nice way to say that you don’t think the same as your friend.
It’s fun when people want to finish talking. For example, when a man wants to finish talking he may say “I have to go now.” Sometimes he often gives an excuse, “Someone is at the door”, “Something is burning” and so on. The excuse may be real, or it may not. It’s a nice way to stop a conversation（对话）and it doesn’t hurt your friend’s feelings. People don’t always say just what they are thinking. And it’s a part of the game of speaking.
1. The underlined word “greet” means “________ to someone”.| A．say “hello” or “hi” | B．make a phone call | C．put a nice question |
