Hollywood is a shiny, bright place. It is the movie capital of the world. And it is also one of the tourist destinations (目的地) in America.
In 1911, the small, peaceful village of Hollywood in California was vote to become part of Los Angeles. Today, over 100 years later, this village has grown into the home of one of the most well-known industries in the world-the American film industry.
With this growth came many well-known symbols. There is the famous Hollywood sign which stands above the hills of the town. The first sign was built in 1923. Then there is the Hollywood Hall of Fame (名人堂), where great actresses, actors and directors leave their footprints or handprints, Norma Talmadge was the first actress to do this in 1927. But the most famous of all is the Oscar Academy Awards. Every spring, a large number of actresses, actors and directors wait excitedly and nervously to find out if they have won an "Oscar". Last year was the 91th Oscar Academy Awards. It was held on February 25 in Los Angeles, Ang Lee, a Chinese director, won the Award for Best Director again. It was the second time he had won the award.
Nowadays it is the home of films, and thousands of hopeful young actresses, actors, writers and directors still come to "the Dream Factory" every year. But not all Hollywood dreams have been happy ones-as one actress, who later died tragically (悲慘地),said, "Hollywood is a place where they will pay you 500 dollars for a kiss, and 50 cents for your soul(靈魂)."

On a hot African morning, Leila was lying on her stomach and an elephant was walking towards her. Leila waited. Then she pushed the button on her camera. “And I got my best photo of an elephant ever, by lying under my car,” Leila explained. “I wanted to get close to the elephants, but of course this was dangerous; they had their babies with them. So every morning I used to park my car in the open near the path(小道). They used to take the same path every morning when they left the water hole. After a week, they were used to seeing my car. So the next morning, I lay under it and got my photo!”
Many of the best wildlife photos come from good planning. In Africa, photographers set up their hides(隱匿處) near water holes. They also set up hides near forest paths, as animals use the same paths every night. For bird-watching, there are many hides around lakes, too. Inside the hides, bird-watchers can watch all day in the shade(蔭處) out of the wind and rain.
Good wildlife photos are needed for books, postcards, magazine and newspapers. But only 5 percent of the photos you took may be good. It is not easy to take a good wildlife photo if you don’t have any good plans beforehand.
1.Why did Leila lie under her car on the stomach?
___________________________________
2.Why didn’t Leila get close to the elephants she wanted to take photos of?
___________________________________
3.How can photographers take good wildlife photos according to the passage?
___________________________________
4.What are good wildlife photos needed for?
___________________________________
5.Is it easy to take a good wildlife photo?
___________________________________
