A peacock (孔雀) and a tortoise (龟) were good friends. One day, a bird catcher caught the peacock and was going to sell him on the market. The peacock asked the bird catcher to allow him to say goodbye to his friend the tortoise. The bird catcher agreed.
The tortoise asked the bird catcher to let the peacock go, but he refused. The tortoise then said, “If I give you a nice gift, will you let my friend go?” “Certainly,” answered the bird catcher.
So the tortoise jumped into the river and after some time, he came up with a big pearl (珍珠). The bird catcher was so surprised. He was so happy that he let the peacock go.
A few days later, the bird catcher came back to the tortoise. He thought he didn’t get enough for letting the peacock go. He told the tortoise that he would catch the peacock again unless he got another big pearl.
The tortoise knew his friend the peacock went to a safe place. “Well,” said the tortoise, “please return the pearl that I gave you and I will come back with two.”
The bird catcher thought for some time and gave the pearl to the tortoise. Then the tortoise swam away and said, “I am not so stupid to take one and give two!” The bird catcher could only stand by the river and feel sorry for being greedy (贪婪的).

阅读短文,根据其内容回答问题。
Movie-making factories are called studios. Like all other businesses, they have to follow the rules of good business. There is a person, called “the top man”, running the studio. He is usually someone with a powerful personality. His power of character is necessary so that the “boss” can deal with famous stars and rich investors (投资者). Some movie stars can only contract with one studio. They cannot work for another. Big studios like Columbia, Fox, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer are the most important film-making companies in Hollywood, and at the time, in the world.
Studios have lots of workers and overhead costs. Overhead refers to the money for everyday operations. The studio has to make enough money to pay everyone. For example, studios have their own screenwriters, filming and sound equipment, offices, and marketing staff. A studio has a building full of pros which are items and objects that might be needed for a movie, such as old cars, everything from old-fashioned schoolbooks to streetlights. Like a librarian, the studio property (财产) manager has to be able to find any needed pros fast.
In the studio system, a movie is under the control of the studio manager, usually a producer. A screenwriter writes the story for the movies. A director is chosen to organize the parts. Art directors and camera experts work with the director to imagine the finished film. Studio clothes designers and set designers work with the director to plan the work for the soldiers and doctors. The huge buildings that hold sound stages change into the setting for the movie. Sometimes the stage is a street, sometimes a desert, sometimes a field of flowers. The director of filming plans how to “shoot” (拍摄) the movie with cameras and film. A plan for ordering the parts of the movie and a timetable for the actors completes the planning. With makeup artists and hairdressers, cameras and sound experts, everything is ready for the big day. The actors and actresses memorize the lines, and all the parts of the great production come together. All is ready for the filming to begin. The post-production team waits to do their part of the job.
1.What are studios?
2.Why is the top man’s power of character necessary?
3.How does the studio property manager help with the movie-making?
4. Who plans how to “shoot” the movie?
5. What is the main idea of the passage?
