In spite of the instructions he had been given，Tommy did not hurry straight round to Mrs. Blakey’s house with the note．Reaching the toy shop window with its decorated Christmas tree．he could not tear himself away from it until he had spent ten minutes staring at the gift he most wanted．Where the road began to run downhill to Mrs. Blakey’s house，he met some of his friends who were throwing snowballs．He joined in the fight，and by the time it finished．another twenty minutes had gone by．Ten more minutes were lost looking for the note for Mrs. Blakey，which had somehow dropped from his pocket during the fight．When he finally found it, it was not only very wet，but he found that part of it was torn away and missing That meant a further search，but without results So Tommy reached Mrs. Blakey’s house nearly an hour late．carrying a dirty piece of paper that contained only the words：

    —for tea this afternoon—important to talk

    about—u．If it is convenient，— tell Tommy：

    otherwise．—Hr house at；four o’clock—

Yours sincerely．

Al ice Hendry

    Mrs. Blakey puzzled over the note for a while，then，imagining she knew what the missing words were，told Tommy to tell his mother it would be all right

    Tommy arrived home not long before four o’clock，only to find his mother very angry and already putting her hat on．“You naughty boy, where have you been?”she cried, and without waiting for all answer,“What did Mrs. Blakey say?”

    Tommy told her．

    “All right, you’d better come with me，”Mrs. Hendry said．And so once again Tommy found himself oil the downhill road to Mrs. Blakey’s．

    At about the same moment that Mrs. Hendry and her son Tommy reached Mrs. Blakey’s door, Mrs. Blakey herself, having taken a different road，was waiting outside the Hendry’s home．wondering why there was no answer to her knock．Who could blame her for thinking that the torn note was all invitation to tea at the Hendry’s，instead of which Mrs. Hendry had in fact been asking herself out to tea with Mrs. Blakey’s．

 51  . 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.

  52  .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. 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 spices.）

  53  .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（剧本）is even finished. The director and writer can make up the story while the film is being made.  54  .

Bollywood actors are very popular and some are in such high demand that they may work on several movies at the same time.  55  . 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 U. S. dollars, seems very cheap compared to the average budget of sixty million U.S. dollars for a Hollywood film – thirty times as much!

A．Another big difference between Bollywood and Hollywood movies is the way the movies are made.

B．Bollywood produces more movies than Hollywood.

C．Most people think that the capital of the movie world is Hollywood, in the United States.

D．They may even shoot scenes for several films on the same day using the same, clothes and  scenery.

E．Only Indian people can understand Bollywood movies.

F．Sometimes they will even write the script by hand instead of taking time to type it.

G．The movies from Bollywood are very different from Hollywood movies.
