题目内容:
More than half a century ago, there were 4,000 drive-in theatres in the United States, and watching a movie from your car was a popular way to spend an evening. But with the number of drive-ins reduced to just a few hundred, the outdoor movie has appeared suddenly across the nation. Going to an open-air theatre has become a modern summer entertainment for a growing number of movie fans.
In recent years, outdoor movie screenings have appeared in parks, vacant lots(场地)and shopping malls around the nation. On average, about 1,000 people watch each movie every night. It attracts a lot of young professionals, young workers and residents nearby. For some, the outdoor movies bring back the memories of the drive-in theatres of their youth. But for the most, they think it is similar to the feeling of drive-ins, as they can bring friends, food, good wine, and watch the movie together.
The returning of Americans’ love for outdoor movies makes Stephen Bastas ever busier. His seven workers set up screens in different places mostly in the Washington area every day during the whole summer. They are doing pretty well and they hope to continue the tide. And it looks like they are going to. That’s because many fans say there is nothing like watching a movie on a breezy(有微风的)summer evening under the stars.
