　　Which animals do we need most? Dogs? Cats? Horses? No! The answer to the question is cows!

　　Why cows? Cows give us milk．And milk is one of our most important foods．Suppose(假设)that all the milk cows make in one year was put into bottles, and suppose these bottles were set side by side, the line of bottles would go all around the world 400 times!

　　That is a lot of milk．Less than half of it is used for drinking and cooking．Most of it is used to make butter, cheese, ice-cream and many other things．

　　It takes many cows to give us that much milk．But not as much as it used to．A cow used to give only about 1, 500 quarts(夸脱)of milk a year．Now a fine cow may give more than 3, 000 quarts in a year!

　　Why do cows give more milk today? Farmers have better cows．The cows get better care and better food．For each two and a half pounds of grass that she eats, a fine cow makes about a pound of milk．But she may not give all the milk she makes．If she is unhappy, she may give only a small part of it．A cow is a friendly animal．If man is kind and speaks softly to her, she gives more milk．She also likes music．

　　Cows give us more than just food．Their skin can be made into shoes．No animal does more for us than cows．

Now the air in our city is ______ than it used to be. Something must be done to stop it.

________ Dongtai you see today is _______ different city from what it used to be.

Where in the world can you take an hour’s train ride, and pass a forest, a London street, a scene from the Wild West, and a burning building that never burns down? There’s only one place, and that’s Hollywood, in California. The scenes you see from the tourist train are film sets（布景） in the Universal Studios, one of the oldest and largest movie companies(公司) in the USA.
A visit to Universal Studios brings back memories of great days of Hollywood, the films and the stars. But they are only memories. Hollywood isn’t quite the same as it used to be. Costs have gone up and confidence has gone down. Movie-makers are afraid to spend their money on expensive new ideas. Instead, they repeat old ones.
The film industry is changing fast. Teenagers still go out to the movies. The theatre is a good place to meet friends away from home. But older people mostly stay home to watch series, like Dynasty have become as important to Hollywood as expensive movies. These “soap opera”, as they are called, show rich, powerful families living in beautiful homes and wearing beautiful clothes. But the actors and actresses are nearly all middle-aged, like many of the people who watch them.
Though it is soap operas that are keeping the film-makers of Hollywood in Business, big films are still being made in America. But more and more of them are made outside Hollywood. New York is the most important new center, but there are many others as well. Movie-makers have realized that they don’t need Hollywood any more. Modern cameras and real houses instead of expensively made copies in a studio. Other states, especially Florida and Texas, are working hard to take the film business away from California. They are offering better working conditions and lower cost.
But Hollywood is fighting back. The state of California is trying hard to keep its best-known industry.
