一、阅读理解

1、 When you think of the cinema, the phrase \a movie\probably comes to mind, and, in fact, moviemakers work very hard to make their films interesting visually. But movies also contain stories, dialogues, music and sound effects - things that people don't need to see in order to enjoy. Movie reviewer Marty Klein has created a website to help visually impaired people choose movies that they can follow themselves. Klein gives movies a rating from 1 to 10. A movie receives a high rating if there are only a few main characters whose voices are easy to recognize. Klein also likes an interesting story without too many changes in time and place. A large amount of dialogues between the characters is better than long silences or noisy action scenes.

Of course, visually impaired people can enjoy many films when a friend explains the parts that can only be seen. But that means that blind people cannot go to the movies independently. To solve these problems, some movie theaters have begun to offer recorded audio descriptions of the movements, scenery, and special effects that other audience members can see on the screen. Blind moviegoers receive a wireless headset to wear during the movie. This allows them to listen to the narration while still hearing a movie's music and other sounds that surround them in the theater.

Another blind movie reviewer, Jay Forry, writes movie reviews that are published on his website. He also writes for newspapers and is a guest on radio shows. Forry gives movies one of five ratings, including, \good, blind people will like it\and \glad I couldn't see it.\college. His first articles appeared in the college newspaper, and Forry's writing skills and sense of humor are what keep people reading his reviews or listening to them on the radio. After \excellent, but that he envied the boy who was the main character: \I only have four.\

2、It was 1985, and Rafe Esquith was beginning his third year of teaching in Los Angeles public

schools. He faced a class of 40 sixth-graders from low-income homes where English rarely was spoken, and the best reader among them was two years below grade level. But to everyone's surprise, he decided to teach them Shakespeare.

Five families agreed to let their children play \Macbeth\ for two hours after school. This proved to be so much fun that, within weeks, Esquith had 28 kids happily soaking up the drama of blood and betrayal in medieval Scotland. They were learning many words they had never heard before.

But when Esquith asked a school district supervisor for official approval, he received this note: \Mr. Esquith, it is not appropriate that you stay after school to teach Shakespeare. It would be better if you did something with the children that is academic.\

It would not be the last time that the narrow thinking of big-city school administration got in Esquith's way. Yet the bearded, 6-foot-tall cyclone has proved that a teacher who thinks very big--much harder lessons, larger projects, extra class time---can help disadvantaged children in ways most educators never imagine.

This was difficult at first, until he stumbled upon a concept of teaching that is at the core of his success. American children, even those from hardworking immigrant cultures, have in Esquith's view been wrongly taught that learning should always be fun, by teachers who think hard lessons are bad for kids from low-income homes. When faced with something difficult, such students don't know what to do.

The Declaration of Independence says Americans are entitled to the pursuit of happiness, but the emphasis in public schooling has been on the happiness, he believes. \What happened to pursuit?\ Esquith said. So he has created an entirely new universe in his classroom, cherishing effort and the slogan, \There Are No Shortcuts\.

As for their own dramatic performances, Esquith got around the original ban on his after-school \Macbeth\ rehearsals by switching to Thornton Wilder's \Our Town.\. When that class

finally performed the Shakespeare play, a school district supervisor showed up. The high-ranking district administrator came up afterwards and shook his hand. \Rafe\, she said, \I've never seen Shakespeare done better.\
