B 

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 there is called “ Bollywood”. Bollywood makes twice as many movies each year as Hollywood,more than 800 films a year.

However,the movies from Bollywood are very different from Hollywood movies. For one thing,Bollywood movies are much longer than most Hollywood movies. Bollywood films have many different features,such as singing,dancing,action,adventure,mystery and romance. This style of film is sometimes called a “masala” film. “Masala” is an Indian word for a mixture of spices (調(diào)味品) .

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 on a Bollywood movie before the script is even finished. The director 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 great need that they may work on several movies at the same time. They may even shoot (拍攝) scenes for several films on the same day using the same costumes 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.

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

   A. Because they have romantic stories.

   B. Because they show Indian culture.

   C. Because they mix different features.

   D. Because they are longer than Hollywood films.

29. Bollywood movies are cheap to make because .

   A. the scripts are written by hand

   B. they are shorter than Hollywood films

   C. many movies reuse things from other movies

   D. the movies do not use any special skills

30. Which of the following would the writer probably agree with?

   A. Most of the Bollywood movies are quite similar to each other.

   B. It takes less time to make a movie in Hollywood than in Bollywood.

   C. It costs more money to make a Bollywood movie than a Hollywood movie.

   D. It is difficult for Bollywood actors to work on several movies at the same time.

    Spending more than two hours a night doing homework leads to better results in English,math and science,according to a major study (by Pam Sammons,England) which has tracked the progress of 3 ,000 children over the past 15 years.

    Spending any time doing homework showed advantages,but the influence was greater for the students who put in two to three hours a night,according to the study published by the Department for Education in England.

    The scientists who did the research say their study emphasizes what students actually do rather than how much work the school has set.

    Pam Sammons,a professor of education at Oxford University,said that time spent on homework showed the influence of the school—if children were expected to do homework and if they enjoyed their subjects. “That's one of the reasons Indian and Chinese children do better. They put more time in it ,” he added 

    It's also reported that students who enjoyed school got better results. “Schools could make sure children had a better experience by improving the school environment,making schoolwork interesting and making children feel supported by teachers,w Sammons said.

     It is suggested that children aged 5 to 7 should be set one-hour homework a week,half an hour a night for 7-to 11-year-olds. Secondary schools were encouraged to set up two hours a night for 14-to 16-year-〇lds.

     “Headteachers should make their own homework policy,” the government says.
