Hollywood was just farmland at the beginning of the 20th century. Early American
movies were made in other places; for example, in 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.
company built a movie studio in Hollywood. Other companies followed. Before long
The next year his
nearly all important American movie studios were in Hollywood, Los Angeles.
The next thirty 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.
(イ)
Hollywood, the area in Los Angeles, also reached its high point in these years.
Many famous and glamorous movie stars, like Bette Davis and Clark Gable, lived in
Hollywood.
Today, Hollywood is not what it was.
(ウ)
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 Theater and see the
footprints and "autographs of movie stars. They can go down the Walk of Fame, on
Hollywood Boulevard, and see the golden stars in the sidewalk.
注) *scenery=風景, 景色
*autograph=サイン

Rainforest trees are used to make things which we use every day. Rubber, for
example, is used to make many things. The fruits of many forest trees (ア)
forest people have eaten them for thousands of years. Today, all over the world, people
eat rainforest food plants for example, coffee, tea, oranges, and rice. Corn, which is an
important food for many people of the world, is another rainforest plant.
In 1970, a disease destroyed half the corn in the United States of America.
Scientists began to look for new species in the rainforests. In 1987, in the Mexican
rainforest, they found a new species which is stronger than other species. But we
nearly lost this new species, because people were already cutting down that part of the
Mexican rainforest.
(イ) knows how many useful plants are already lost because people have
destroyed many of the rainforests of the world.
The trees of the rainforests help the Earth's air because their leaves use carbon
dioxide and make oxygen, which we need to live.
(ウ)
They are also important because they control some of the Earth's weather. Through
their large leaves, (2) they give out water vapor which makes heavy clouds. The clouds
then move to other parts of the Earth and give rain. The clouds also protect the Earth
from the sun.
Today, the Earth is slowly getting hotter, and in some places changes in the
weather are making life much more difficult. We need to learn more about the Earth's
weather while we still have the rainforests.
