21、Most people think that the capital of the movie world is Hollywood in the United States. However, the real movie capital is Mumbai, in India. Mumbai used to be known as Bombay, and so the film industry there is called “Bollywood.” Bollywood makes twice as many movies each year as Hollywood—more than 800 films a year.
The movies from Bollywood are very different from Hollywood movies. For one thing, Bollywood movies are much longer than most Hollywood movies. Most Bollywood movies are more than three hours long, and contain singing, dancing, action, adventure, mystery and romance (but usually no kissing). Because Bollywood films contain so many different features, this style of film is sometimes called a “masala” film. (“Masala” is an Indian word for a mixture of species.)
Another big difference between Bollywood and Hollywood movies is the way movies are made. It takes much longer to make a movie in Hollywood than in Bollywood. In fact, filming may begin on a Bollywood movie before the script is finished. The director and writer can make up the story while the film is being made. Sometimes they will even write the script (剧本) by hand instead of taking time to type it.
Bollywood actors are very popular and some are in such high demand that they may work on several movies at the same time. They may even shoot(拍摄) scenes for several films on the same day using the same costumes and scenery. Since most Bollywood movies follow the same kind of story, shooting scenes for several films at the same time is not a big problem for actors or directors. This also helps keep the cost of Bollywood movies lower than the cost of Hollywood movies. The average Bollywood film, with a budget(预算)of only two million US dollars, seems very cheap compared to the average budget of sixty million US dollars for a Hollywood film, thirty times as much!

22、Chinese actor Deng Lun was punished for tax evasion (逃避) and fined according to Shanghai tax authorities on Tuesday.
Shanghai’s tax authority said in a report that the authorities have reminded and urged Deng during the investigation but in vain. Deng evaded personal income tax of 47.66 million yuan and underpaid (欠缴) personal income tax of 13.99 million yuan between 2019 and 2020 by making false declarations, said the report. The report said Deng actively “cooperated with the inspection” and paid back 44.55 million yuan of tax, while actively reporting other tax-related illegal acts that have not been found.
The news became the most trending topic on Sina Weibo within 30 minutes after the report was issued, racking up 460 million views. In an immediate action, Viomi Technology and L’Oreal announced they would terminate their partnerships with Deng. Deng’s personal accounts on Weibo and Douyin, China’s short video platform, along with his studio’s accounts, were later closed.
As one of the most popular actors in China, this 30-year-old actor, with more than 40 million followers on Chinese social media platform Sina Weibo, was also known for his TV drama Ashes of Love, which was to be broadcast on Netflix and introduced to South Korea, Japan and Thailand.
In December, 2021, China’s top livestreamer Viya, was fined 1.34 billion yuan for dodging taxes. In August, 2021, Chinese actress Zheng Shuang was ordered to pay 299 million yuan in fines, taxes and penalties for tax evasion. In October, 2018, Chinese actress Fan Bingbing was ordered to pay more than 800 million yuan in tax and fines. These were wake-up calls across the entertainment industry. The tax authorities said they would continue to strengthen the tax regulation and carry out joint investigations.

23、Saving the environment is a hot topic right now, and most companies are thinking of ways to “go green”, that is, to reduce pollution and save electricity. 【1】
How do you reduce energy use in your home?How do you make your home eco-friendly? 【2】 “Green” houses look similar to the houses we live in today, with a few noticeable differences. They have solar panels on the roofs or have some kind of wind power to produce their own electricity. On sunny or windy days when the house is not used, power is produced and stored in batteries (电池) for later use at night, while extra power is fed back into the power grid to make money. Imagine getting paid by the power company instead of paying the company. 【3】
One of the main reasons that we use so much power in our homes is to heat or cool them. “Green” houses are very well insulated (隔热的), keeping the temperature inside fixed. 【4】 Obviously, the appliances (家用电器) used inside our houses must also be “green” to limit the energy they use and the waste heat they send out.
【5】 This way, they can reduce the burden (负担) on the environment for raw materials (原材料). You can paint your next house whatever color you like, but make sure it is “green”.
A.Used plastic, paper, and rubber are included.
B.The answer might be to build a “green” house.
C.Most importantly, solar energy or wind power is clean energy.
D.Finally, “green” houses are built largely from used materials.
E.Not only large buildings but also small family houses are “green”.
F.In the construction industry, this practice is also becoming popular.
G.As a result, we can reduce the need for a lot of power to heat or cool them.
