2 . Have you ever heard of Nollywood? Nollywood is the name of the Nigerian (尼日利亚的) film industry. Nigeria is one of the largest film industries in the world based on the quantity of films produced, placing them right below India’s Bollywood and above USA’s Hollwood!

Born in around 1992. Nollywood is the youngest compared with the other two “woods”, and uses new forms of financing and production. Now it’s in adulthood. and bigger productions have become more regular. However, this was not always the case. Although movie theaters were rare in Nigeria during earlier period, original stories were not. Despite lack of funds and experience, self-made directors began to use commercial video cameras to shoot their movies and sold them for home viewing. Even though this resulted in movies with low production value, the original stories instantly made them a hit. Today, the film industry is the largest employer after agriculture and makes up 5% of Nigeria’s GDP.

Nigeria is a big player in the industry and it is constantly improving its craft, taking on new challenges. Nollywood is known mainly for its comedies and dramas, but we are increasingly seeing horror movies and musicals.

Although sometimes heavily criticized for low production values. Nollywood continues to grow fans worldwide. Nigerian movies now make up 11% of Nigeria’s non-oil exports! The average movie is produced in 7-10 days on a budget between ￡7,000-12,000 (Hollywood’s average is around ￡60 million per movie with one year production time).This is changing, however, as more filmmakers are receiving proper training and are aiming to make films up to the international standard.

3 . Directions：Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Flat photos may never be out of fashion. But if you are a creative person who is always     1     for new things, you may consider printing a photo of yourself in 3D.

In December, the Omote 3D photo booth, the world’s first 3D photo booth that can     2     action-figure-size versions of people, was opened in Japan. Less than a month later, two 3D photo booths of this kind were opened in Beijing and Xi’an, bringing the cutting-edge     3     even closer to home.

Omote 3D is taking the photo booth into the next dimension by     4     customers the chance to be full-body scanned and given a plastic figurine-pocket-size (袖珍的小雕像) mini-me of themselves.

“The photo studio is a very     5     place for Japanese families to shape their memories, ”Naoki Ito, creative director of branding agency, told The London Guardian. “Our idea is to     6     to capture you and your family’s portraits (肖像) in 3D.”

The     7     involves a 15-minute scan with a handheld scanner, during which the     8     must stay completely still, in the manner of early portrait photography—no doubt     9     in similarly rigid (僵硬的) poses and fixed stares. The scanner cannot yet detect small, detailed patterns or shiny materials, nor can it     10     small accessories (配饰) such as earrings, glasses or bags.
