　　Making a TV show is a lot of fun. But it’s also a lot of work. So how do you make a TV show? One of the most important parts of a TV show is the set. Sets are where the stories happen. Sets can look like a room in a house, a restaurant, or even a jungle.
　　Would you ever want to act on TV? Being an actor on TV is fun. You can be famous and sign autographs. But it’s also a lot of work. If you don’t want to be an actor, there are other jobs you can do in a TV studio. You can be a director, or you can work with lighting or sound. Many people work together during filming to make sure the show looks good.
　　More people work on the TV show after it is filmed. They are editors. Editing a TV show means putting the different parts of the show together to make a whole show. When someone edits the show, they also add music or sound effects to make the show more interesting.
　　So what do you think? Would you ever want to work in a TV studio? It might be fun!

Have you had this experience? You are watching a movie. A man is shooting on the screen. The picture is so real that you think he is shooting at you. Or a car is speeding on the screen and at one point you are afraid that it will hit you. Yes,it’s a three-dimensional(3D) movie.
　　3D movies use special technology to make pictures seem more real and exciting than two-dimensional ones.They are fun to watch, but do you know how they are made? It is much easier to understand if we do an experiment.
　　Hold one of your fingers up at arms length and close one eye. Then try closing the other eye. As you switch(切换) between open eyes, you should see your finger “jumping” left and right against the background.
　　This happens because our two eyes are about 4cm away from each other. The separation(分开) causes each eye to see the world from a different angle. The brain puts these two views together. What you see becomes three-dimensional.
　　3D movies are made using two video cameras at the same time, which creates two different images. When the movie plays in a cinema, two projectors(放映机) put the two images on the screen. With a pair of 3D glasses, the two images are separated and each image only enters one eye. Your brain puts the two pictures back together, and the pictures on the screen become three-dimensional.

So far we can only see 3D movies in the cinema with a special screen and projector. But soon, we will be able to watch them in our living rooms.
