Unlike most art museums, the design museum shows objects that are easily found by the general public．These museums sometimes even place things like fridges and washing machines in the 38 of the hall．

Section C (2 % * 4=8%)
Directions: Read the following passage carefully and then answer the questions or complete the statements with fewest possible words.
Where in the world can you take an hour’s train ride, and pass a forest, a London street, a scene from the Wild West, and a burning building that never burns down There’s only one place, and that’s Hollywood, in California. The scenes you see from the tourist train are film sets in the Universal Studios, one of the oldest and largest movie companies in the USA.
A visit to Universal Studios brings back memories of great days of Hollywood, the films and the stars. But they are only memories. Hollywood isn’t quite the same as it used to be. Costs have gone up and confidence has gone down. Movie-makers are afraid to spend their money on expensive new ideas. Instead, they repeat old ones.
Though it is soap operas that are keeping the film-makers of Hollywood in business, big films are still being made in America. But more and more of them are made outside Hollywood. New York is the most important new center, but there are many others as well. Movie-makers have realized that they don’t need Hollywood any more—modern cameras and real houses instead of expensively made copies in a studio. Other states, especially Florida and Texas, are working hard to take the film business away from California. They are offering better working conditions and lower costs.
But Hollywood is fighting back. The state of California is trying hard to keep its best-known industry.
(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements with NO MORE THAN 13 WORDS)
