Questions are based on the following passage. One of America's greatest exports to the rest of the world has been entertainment. America, a nation of incredible energy and talent, has flooded the world markets with her films, theaters and songs. In America the two centers where this talent is most brilliantly and successfully essayed are Hollywood and Broadway.Hollywood is a district within the city of Los Angeles. Its name is synonymous with the motion-picture industry. Since the early 1900s, when movie makers found southern California an ideal blend of mild climate and varied geography, it has become the home for cinematic dreams. All the great names of cinema have passed through Hollywood on the road to international careers.
Today it still remains the place where dreams are Said to come true and fantasies are carefully nurtured. Known as "The Movie Capital of the World", Hollywood is one of the few places where epic films can still be made on such a large scale.
Ancient Rome, the Pharaoh's Egypt or a science fiction film staged somewhere in the Galaxy are all within the imagination of the filmmakers and the industry they control. It is a place where unknowns are discovered and even actors from abroad have come to Hollywood to further establish their fame and recognition.
With the coming of television Hollywood began to alter its function. By the early 1960s it had become the source of the majority of U.S. network television entertainment. But, its place as the center of the movie industry in America has remained undiminished and unchallenged,On the east coast of America, however, in New York it is live theater which provides the source of culture and entertainment. Here it is the dramatic stage which dominates the cultural scene. The main avenue which runs through the city is known as Broadway. It traverses the length of Manhattan and near the middle clustered the many theaters that have long made it the foremost showcase of commercial stage entertainment in the United States. The term Broadway was at one time virtuallys.Ynonymous with American theater activity. In the 1980s the street became known as "The Great White Way" because of its brilliant display of lights in the evening. As the power and prosperity of New York City grew in the world, so did the number,size and magnificence of the Broadway theaters. Broadway soared into its peak in the mid 1920s.
