Many movie stars live in Los Angeles. The city is sometimes called Tinseltown. This nickname comes from the shiny, bright and often unreal nature of Hollywood and the movie industry.

　　Another nickname for Los Angeles is La-La Land, using the first letters of Los and Angeles. This means a place that is fun and not serious, and maybe even out of touch with reality.

　　A good place for watching unusual-looking people is Venice, an area on the west side of Los Angeles. A system of waterways designed after the Italian city of Venice has been built there. Many people love Los Angeles for its warm sunny weather, beautiful mountains and beaches, and movie stars. That includes Randy Newman, who sings about his hometown.

　　On the whole, Los Angeles is growing attractive just for its rich nicknames.

　　32.Choose the one that isn’t the function of a nickname of a place.

　　A. Uniting surrounding cities

　　B. Entertainment  

　　C. Bringing pride to the locals

　　D. Establishing characteristics

　　33.Which of the following can best replace the underlined sentence?

　　A. Seeing the big letters "Hollywood" on a hillside means you've been really to Los Angeles.

　　B. Not seeing the word "Hollywood" on a hillside means you haven't been to Los Angeles.

　　C. If you visit Los Angeles you should first pay a visit to "Hollywood" s on a hillside.
