At this point the party had to stop climbing because one of the boys became seriously ill. The only thing the master could do was to return to the mountain camp(营地)where they had spent the night. From there, he telephoned the police. As no rescue party(救援队)could reach the boy quickly enough, the Royal Air Force Rescue Center sent a helicopter(直升飞机)with a policeman and a doctor on board. The helicopter soon arrived on the scene, but the sides of the mountain were so steep that it could not land. A helicopter usually lands on four wheels, but it can land on two. However, the slope was too steep(陡峭的)even for that. The pilot, therefore, kept the helicopter in the air with only one wheel touching the mountainside while the party carried the boy on board.26.

Until 1908 it was no more than a quiet village on the northern side of the city, but in that year William Selig, one of the first people to make films, set up a film-producing workshop (车间)in Los Angeles. By 1911, David and William Horsley had set up another one in Hollywood, and at about the same time oil was discovered in the neighborhood. Thus Hollywood quickly became a big district given over to the film industry and to oil wells(油井).The early makers of films found Hollywood a good place for their work because of its clear, sunny, rain-free weather, which allowed pictures to be taken all the year round. Also, it was known that every kind of scene needed for films, whether town, country, sea, desert or snow-capped mountains, could be found within the area of California. Today, when most films can be “shot”(拍摄)under cover by man-made lighting, these advantages(优点)are not so important.In spite of a drop in its importance, Hollywood remains a center of film production although now making more films for television than for the cinema.31.
