Hollywood is a shiny, bright place. It is the movie capital of the world. And it is also one of the tourist destinations (目的地) in America. In 1911 the small, peaceful village of Hollywood in California was voted to become part of Los Angeles (洛杉矶). Today, over 100 years later, this village has grown into the home of one of the most well-known industries in the world — the American film industry.

    With this growth came many well-known symbols. There is the famous Hollywood sign which stands above the hills of the town. The first sign was built in 1923. Then there is the Hollywood Hall of Fame (名人堂), where great actresses, actors and directors leave their footprints or handprints. Norma Talmadge was the first actress to do this in 1927. But the most famous of all is the Oscar Academy Awards. Every spring, a large number of actresses, actors and directors wait excitedly and nervously to find out if they have won an "Oscar". This year was the 85th Oscar Academy Awards. It was held on February 25 in Los Angeles. Ang Lee, a Chinese director, won the Award for Best Director again. It was the second time he had won the Award.

    Nowadays it is the home of films, and thousands of hopeful young actresses, actors, writers and directors still come to "the Dream Factory" every year. But not all Hollywood dreams have been happy ones — as one actress, who later died tragically (悲惨地), said, "Hollywood is a place where they will pay you 500 dollars for a kiss, and 50 cents for your soul (灵魂)."

Years ago, my father and I were on a summer road trip from Dallas to Austin. On our way back, the battery meter (电池电量计) seemed to act funny, jumping up then dropping down. 

We stopped to buy a new battery and replaced (替换) the 1 one in the parking lot. And we went on our trip. We got about 20 miles outside the city when our car died. Then we 2 it was not the problem of the battery. We had to 3 on the side of the road. My father 4 the car and repaired it on his own, but it still didn't work. 

We were about to call for help when a 5 stopped in front of our car. A man got out and started walking towards us. He asked us what the problem was. My father 6 that our car was dead. The man said he had a tow chain (拖链) and would be able to tow us to Dallas, which was about 200 miles away. We agreed and thanked him. 

Then my father stayed in our car, and I got on the truck. Later I learned the 7 of the truck driver. About a year ago, he was told by the doctor that he had lung cancer (肺癌), and his days were 8 . Instead of doing treatment (治疗), he decided to accept the fact and spend the rest of his life driving all over Texas, and 9 people who were in need. 

I can't remember his name anymore, but I'll never 10 him helping us that night.

My name is Jessica Meir. I am a flight engineer on the International Space Station(ISS)(国际空间站). Today, I will tell you something about what life is like on the ISS.

The ISS has over 425 cubic meters(立方) of living space. I work here with astronauts from the United States, Russia, Japan, Canada and some other countries.

When we are on the ISS, we have to follow an everyday schedule. It tells us when to get up, eat, exercise, work, relax and go to sleep. We spend about two hours each day exercising. Without enough exercise, we would lose an amount of muscle(肌肉) because of the microgravity(微重力) environment in space.

When we are on the ISS, we eat food that is specially made. We eat some foods, such as cakes, in space in the same way as we do on the Earth. But some other foods are real challenges. For example, when we' re in space, we can't shake salt onto food, because the salt would float away(飘走). As a result, we have to use special salt.

When we are not busy working on the ISS, we can relax and have fun in different ways. We also love to listen to music, read books, play cards, watch movies and talk with our family members.

As you can see, the microgravity environment in space brings many challenges that you don't face on the Earth. Would you like to live for some time on the ISS.
