| To many people, the word Hollywood has two meanings. Hollywood is the name of a town, but it also stands for movie making. Hollywood was just farmland at the beginning of this century. Early American movies were made in other places such as New York and Chicago. In 1917 a director was making a movie in Chicago. Because of cold weather, he couldn't finish the movie. He took a trip to southern California, and there he found just the weather and scenery he needed to finish his movie. The director realized that southern California was the perfect place for making movies. The next year his company built a movie studio in Hollywood. Other companies followed. Before long nearly all important American movie studios were located（有自己的位置）in Hollywood. The next 30 years were Hollywood's greatest years. Thousands of movies were made, most by a few large and powerful studios. Directors, actors, and writers worked for these studios. They made some movies that today are considered great art. Hollywood, the area in Los Angeles, also reached its high point in these years. Many famous and glamorous（光芒耀人的）movie stars, like Bette Davis and Clark Gable, lived in Hollywood. Today, Hollywood is not what it was. More movies are made outside of Hollywood. Many studios have moved. The movie stars have also moved to areas like Beverly Hills and Malibu. But visitors to Hollywood today can go to the famous Chinese Theatre and see the footprints and autographs（签名）of movie stars. They can go down the Walk of Fame, on Hollywood Boulevard, and see the golden stars in sidewalks. 1. When were the greatest years of Hollywood? A. From 1917 to 1947 B. From 1918 to 1948 C. In the next 30 years D. In the 1950s 2. Hollywood has its fame thanks to ________ .

查看习题详情和答案>>Any sportsperson considers it tough to know when to retire. Do you retire when you are at your physical “peak” or do you wait until your body or your coach tells you that it’s time to go? But what’s even harder is finding the answer to the question “What am I going to do with the rest of my life?
Retirement for people in general is painful. “There’s a high risk of depression and people often find adjusting to a new way of life difficult,” says Ian Cockerill, a sports psychologist. “For sportspeople, there’s an extra pain — the loss of status, the loss of recognition, and the loss of attraction. That’s the hardest part.” Eddie Acaro, the US jockey says, “When a a jockey (职业赛马骑师) retires, he becomes just another little man.”
Some sportspeople go on playing too long. Perhaps they just can’t stand life without the “high” of playing professional sport. Michael Jordan, the greatest basketball player of all time, retired three tines. He retired once from the Chicago Bulls, made a successful comeback with the bulls, and then retired again. His second comeback with an inferior team ended in failure and he retired forever at the age of 38. Jordan said, “There will never be anything I do that will fulfill me as much as competing did.”
For some people the pain of saying goodbye never leaves them. Jimmy Greaves, an ex-England international footballer, said, “I think that a lot of players would prefer to be shot once their career is over.” Many of them spend their retirement in a continual battle against depression, alcohol, or drugs.
But for the lucky few, retirement can mean a successful new career. Franz Beckenbauer is a classic example of a footballer who won everything with his club. After retiring he became a successful coach of his club and finally the president of the club. John McEnroe, the infamous (臭名昭著的) “bad boy” of tennis, is now a highly respected and highly paid TV commentator (评论员). But sadly, for most sportspeople, these cases are the exceptions.
