Hollywood is a place where people can experience the magic and charm of the American movie industry. Tourists love to visit and take pictures of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. With more than 2,500 brass stars placed in the sidewalks, it gives visitors a sense of being somewhat close to the famous actors, musicians, directors, and producers whose names are at their feet. Another must-see attraction is the Hollywood Sign on the Hollywood Hills, which are part of the Santa Monica Mountains. Other attractions can be found in the heart of Hollywood, which is at the intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Avenue. The handprints, footprints, and autographs formed into the cement sidewalk at TCL Chinese Theatre draws curious tourists every year. Meanwhile, Universal Studios Hollywood is a theme park where visitors can enjoy tours and amusement rides based on well-known movies.

A fascinating Middle Eastern dance has been attracting audiences for centuries. Belly dancing is often performed by a woman dressed in a costume as she shakes and moves her hips and torso. The name belly dancing is actually a bit misleading because it is the hips and torso of the dancer that do most of the moving, instead of the belly. The actual performance is usually accompanied by a variety of Arabian-style rhythms and beats. Belly dancing is believed to have a long history in the Middle East, though its exact origin is difficult to trace. What is known, however, is that today’s dancers use techniques and movements similar to those used by the belly dancers during the days of the Ottoman Empire.

這種迷人的中東舞姿已經吸引觀眾好幾世紀。肚皮舞通常由一名女子著戲裝表演，表演時搖擺著她的臀部和身軀。肚皮舞的名稱其實有點誤導人們，因為是舞者的臀部和身軀做大部分的舞動，而非肚子。實際的表演常常伴隨著多元的阿拉伯風格節奏和拍子。 
據信肚皮舞在中東歷史悠久，雖然它確切的起源已很難追溯。然而，所知道的是，今日跳肚皮舞的舞者和奧圖曼帝國時代的肚皮舞舞者所用的技巧及動作相似。

In the United States, many people think fortune cookies are a Chinese invention. That is because they are served in nearly every Chinese restaurant from New York City to New Mexico. However, they actually originated in the 19th century in Kyoto, Japan. There, chefs would slip a tiny slip of paper into the bend of the cookie, containing a random prediction of things to come.
Somewhere around the turn of the 20th century, fortune cookies were introduced to the US. Makoto Hagiwara of the Japanese Tea Garden restaurant in San Francisco is widely believed to have been the first to offer them to his customers. The idea was a big hit, and today these treats have even made the jump to the big screen. In the hit film, Freaky Friday, a mother and daughter switch bodies due to an enchanted fortune cookie. The next time you head out for a meal, do not skip dessert. It just might tell you what's coming around the corner.

在美國，許多人認為幸運餅乾是中國人的發明。那是因為它們幾乎出現在從紐約市到新墨西哥州的每家中國餐館。然而，它們其實源自於十九世紀的日本京都。在那裡，主廚會塞一小張紙條到餅乾的彎曲處，隨機預測未來會發生什麼事。
大約在二十世紀交接之時，幸運餅乾被引進美國。一般相信在舊金山開日本茶園餐廳的荻原真是第一個提供幸運餅乾給客人的人。這個點子大受歡迎，今日這些點心甚至一躍而上大銀幕。在熱門電影《辣媽辣妹》裡，一對母女交換身體就是因為一片被施了魔法的幸運餅乾。下次你外出用餐時，別錯過點心喔。它或許會告訴你即將發生什麼事。
