Hollywood

To many people, the word Hollywood has two meanings. 【1】. Second, Hollywood is also the US movie industry.

Hollywood was just a farmland at the beginning of this 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 couldnt finish the movie. 【2】. 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. The next year his company built a movie studio in Hollywood. 【3】_. Before long nearly all important American movie studios were in Hollywood, Los Angeles.

The next thirty years were Hollywoods greatest years. Thousands of movies were made, most by a few large and powerful studios. 【4】.

Hollywood also reached its high point in these years. Many famous movie stars, like Bette Davis and Clark Gable, lived in Hollywood.

【5】. 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 Theatre 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.

Today a Ferris wheel is usually 40 to 60 feet tall． That seems very high when you are on the top looking down． But the first Ferris wheel was 264 feet high – taller than a twenty-story building! Can you imagine the view from the top of that?

The first Ferris wheel was built for the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago． The people who planned the fair were looking for an attraction that would bring people to Chicago． George Ferris handed a drawing of a giant wheel that people could ride on． At first everyone laughed at his strange idea． But Mr． Ferris did not give up, and finally the idea was accepted． The ride opened in June of 1893．

Today’s Ferris wheels have 12 to 16 seats, which each carry 2 or 3 people． But that first one had 36 enclosed cars, each holding 60 passengers． When filled, it carried 2, 160 people． During that summer in Chicago, about 1．5 million people rode the Ferris wheel．

After the fair the ride was moved to a nearby amusement park built especially to show off the wheel． In 1904, it was moved again – to St． Louis for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition． After the fair there, the wheel stood unused． In 1906 it was finally sold to a company for scrapmetal (廢鐵)．

Luckily a Chicago bridge builder, W．E． Sullivan, figured out how to make a smaller Ferris wheel that could easily be taken apart and put together． In 1906 he started the company that still makes many of the Ferris wheels used today．

But, whenever you ride one, remember that it all began with George Ferris’s strange idea!
