How hard we have all prayed (祈禱) to grow up quickly,and looked forward to the happy days of being a grownup and enjoying the many interests that a youth should have.

At last,you have grown up. At least you are no longer a child. They call you "young lady". You then enjoy the pleasure of being a young lady. You are proud of being a grown?up teenager. People welcome you―this young lady―heartily. You are glad that your prayer has been answered.

But there is always something that troubles you a lot. You say, "Papa and Mama,give me some money please. My pocket money is all gone already."

"No”， they say, " Your age is a dangerous age. If you have too much money to spend,it won't do you any good. ” Then you have to stay at home because you dare not go out with an empty pocket.

Another time you tell your grandma, "Grandma,see,I am a grownup now." "Good,now you can sit here and knit (編織) this for me while I go and have a rest. " To show that you are no more a child,you have to sit there the whole afternoon doing the work,which only a grownup can do. After an hour,you find it hard to do,and give the knitting basket back to your grandma. Your grandma criticizes your work. You hear what she says, "Such a big girl can't do such easy work. " You wish then you were a child again.

But the fact is,you are growing up,and you can't help it. That's the way it goes!

The weather is getting hotter. You are thirsty playing basketball or riding home from school. A cold drink may be just the thing. But be careful what you are drinking.

Have you ever heard the saying "If you want a friend,be one"？

Here is a story about one new teacher making friends with the girls and boys in her class on the first day of school. As the bell rang,the teacher came in smiling at each girl and boy.

Then she said in a quiet voice, "Good morning,girls and boys!How happy I am because I have all of you in my class this year. I'd like to know each of you. I am sure we will enjoy working together.

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. Moviemakers 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 at home to watch series like Dynasty. TV series 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 aJJ middleaged,like many of the people who watch them.

Though it is soap operas that are keeping the filmmakers 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. Moviemakers 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 bestknown industry.

(   ) 1. From the passage,we know Universal Studios is      

   A. a very large park

   B. a busy London street

   C. a famous movie company

   D. an old Hollywood movie

(   ) 12. The movie industry in California isn't as successful as before because         

   A. young people don't go to movie theatres any more

   B. there is strong competition from other states

   C. its movie companies are in need of young stars

   D. the state hasn't put a development plan into action

(   ) 13. Which of the following seems to be a threat (威脅) to Hollywood?

   A. The use of modern cameras and other equipment

   B. The interest of middleaged film stars

   C. The making of TV series like Dynasty

   D. The expensively made copies of scenes

(   ) 14. What can we learn about "soap operas" from the passage?

   A. They are teenagers' favorites.

   B. They are much more expensive.

   C. They are less attractive.

   D. They are cheaper and easier to make.

(   ) 15. The passage mainly tells us         .

   A. something about the film industry in the USA

   B. the importance of soap operas in Hollywood

   C. the good old days of Hollywood

   D. the film business in California
