閱讀短文,根據(jù)要求完成下面各小題。

Bollywood: the Hollywood of India

You might be surprised to learn that India produces about 800 movies a year, and that number continues to grow. Just as the movie Capital of the United States is Hollywood, the movie capital of India is Bombay (孟買), but it is usually called "Bollywood", a combination(結(jié)合) of the words Bombay and Hollywood.

No Bollywood movie is thought complete without a few songs and dances. In fact, music is an important part of Bollywood movies. Even a bad movie can still do well if the music is good. Music directors are sometimes more popular than the film stars. A Bollywood movie has five to six songs with at least three songs to show what the dances mean.

Bollywood may be different from Hollywood in music, but it is very like Hollywood in several ways. If Tom Cruise can hold a gun, so can the Bollywood hero Sharukh Khan. Hollywood stars are followed by news reporters just as often as Hollywood stars. The persona! lives of actors and actresses catch the headlines(頭版頭條), just as they do in the United States.

The Oscars are a very exciting time of the year for actors and actresses in America, Bollywood has its own form of the Oscars, and they are also very exciting.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容在空格處填上恰當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~,使句子完整,沒空不多于三個(gè)單詞。

1.The name Bollywood comes from the words _______________________.

2. Bollywood is a place where many ___________ are made each year,

3.In India, the film stars are sometimes______popular than music directors.

4.Every complete Bollywood movie has a few _______________________in them.

5.The Oscars in India are as_____as those in America though they are different.
