阅读理解。                                                 Bollywood: the Hollywood of India
     You might be surprised to learn that India produces about 800 movies a year, and that number continues
to grow. Just as the movie Capital of the United States is Hollywood, the movie capital of India is Bombay
(孟买), but it is usually called "Bollywood", a combination (结合) of the words Bombay and Hollywood.
     No Bollywood movie is thought complete without a few songs and dances. In fact, music is an important
part of Bollywood movies. Even a bad movie can still do well if the music is good. Music directors are
sometimes more popular than the film stars. A Bollywood movie has five to six songs with at least three songs
to show what the dances mean.
     Bollywood may be different from Hollywood in music, but it is very like Hollywood in several ways. If
Tom Cruise can hold a gun, so can the Bollywood hero Sharukh Khan. Hollywood stars are followed by news
reporters just as often as Hollywood stars. The persona! lives of actors and actresses catch the headlines (头
版头条), just as they do in the United States.
