Young adult filmmakers all hope to show their works in international festivals like Sundance and Toronto. But what about really young filmmakers who aren’t in film school yet and aren’t, strictly speaking, even adults?
They will be at the heart of Wingspan Arts Kids Film Festival, tomorrow, in a setting any director might envy(嫉妒): Lincoln Center. Complete with “red carpet(红地毯)” interviews and various awards, the festival has much in common with events for more experienced movie makers, except for the age of the participants: about 8 to 18.
“What’s really exciting is that they’re films for kids by kids,” said Cori Gardner, managing director of Wingspan Arts, a nonprofit organization offering youth arts programs in the New York area. This year the festival will include films not only from Wingspan but also from other city organizations and one from a middle school in Arlington, Virginia. “We want to make this a national event,” Mrs Gardner added.
The nine shorts to be shown range from a biography of B. B. King to a science fiction adventure set in the year 3005. “A lot of the material is really mature(成熟的),” Mrs Gardner said, talking about films by the New York City branch of Global Action Project, a media art and leadership—training group. “The Choice is about the history of a family and Master Anti—Smoker is about the dangers of secondhand smoke. Dream of the Invisibles describes young settlers’ feelings of both belonging and not belonging in their adopted country.”
The festival will end with an open reception at which other films will be shown. These include a music video and a full—length film whose title is Pressures.

It was Thanksgiving morning and in the crowded kitchen of my small home I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in very old torn clothes gathering close together inside the storm door on the top step. “Any old papers, lady?” asked one of them.
I was busy. I wanted to say “no” until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals(凉鞋), wet with heavy snow.
“Come in and I’ll make you a cup of hot cocoa.”
They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread with jam to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen.
The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in.
The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich?”
I looked at my poor slipcovers(家具套). The girl put her cup back in its saucer(茶碟)carefully and said, “Your cups match your saucers.” Her voice was hungry with a need that no amount of food could supply. They left after that, holding their papers against the wind. They hadn’t said “Thank you”. They didn’t need to. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be thankful. The ordinary blue cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.
I tasted the potatoes and the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, and my man with a good steady job—these matched, too.
I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy prints of small sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am.

From age eight to eleven, I attended a small school in Bath, England. It was a small school of four classes with about twenty—five children in each class according to age. For the most part, one teacher had to teach all subjects to the children in the class. However, sometimes the headmaster, Mr Ronald Broaches, would come in and spend an hour or so, teaching some subjects in which he was especially interested. He was a large man with a very happy nature. He had a sense of humor and would delight in telling the children small stories that would make us laugh. He was a very fair man and had a great influence on many of the children. In my own case, I found that he took great interest in me and he quickly found that I enjoyed puzzles(智力游戏). He would often stop me as I was going to class and take a piece of paper out of his pocket, often with a puzzle already on it. The puzzles were usually mathematical or logical(符合逻辑的). As time went on, they slowly got more difficult, but I loved them. Not only that, they made me interested in math and problem solving that stays with me to this day. They also served to show me that intellectual activity was rewarding(有益的)when the correct answers were found, but perhaps more importantly it was great fun. To this day, I can remember Mr Broaches’ cheerful cry of“Well done!”whenever I got a problem right. The simple communication with a man whom I loved greatly has had a deep influence on my life. Mr Broaches died just two weeks after I had won the 1993 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Unluckily, I had no chance to speak to him before he died. I learnt later that he had heard of my success and I would always hope that he knew the deep influence he had made on my life.

Fish Ears Tell Fish Tales
Fish have ears. Really. They’re quite small and have no opening to the outside world carrying sound through the body. For the past seven years, Simon Thorrold, a university professor, has been examining fish ears, small round ear bones called otoliths(内耳石).
As fish grow, so do their otoliths. Each day, their otoliths get a ring of calcium carbonate(碳酸钙). By looking through a microscope and counting these rings, Thorrold can determine the exact age of a young fish. As a fish gets older, its otoliths no longer get daily rings. Instead, they get yearly rings, which can also be counted, giving information about the fish’s age, just like the growth rings of a tree.
Ring counting is nothing new to fish scientists. But Thorrold has turned to a new direction. They’re examining the chemical elements of each otolith ring.
The daily ring gives us the time, but chemistry tells us about the environment in which the fish swam on any given day. These elements tell us about the chemistry of the water that the fish was in. It also says something about water temperature, which determines how much of these elements will gather within each otolith ring.
Thorrold can tell, for example, if a fish spent time in the open ocean before entering the less salty water of coastal areas. He can basically tell where fish are spending their time at any given stage of history.
In the case of the Atlantic croaker, a popular saltwater food fish, Thorrold and his assistants have successfully followed the travelling of young fish from mid—ocean to the coast, a journey of many hundreds of miles.
This is important to managers in the fish industry, who know nearly nothing about the whereabouts(行踪)of the young fish for most food fish in the ocean. Wanting to learn about his technology so much, fish scientists are now lending Thorrold their ears.
68. What can we learn about fish ears from the text?
A. They are small soft rings. B. They are not seen from the outside. C. They are openings only on food fish. D. They are not used to receive sound.
69. Why does the writer compare the fish to trees?
A. Trees get a growth ring each day. B. Trees also have otoliths.
C. Their growth rings are very small. D. They both have growth rings.
70. Why is it important to study the chemistry of otolith rings?
A. The elements of the otoliths can tell the history of the sea.
B. Chemical findings of otoliths can tell how fast fish can swim.
C. We can know more about fish and their living environment.
D. Scientists can know exactly how old a fish is.
71. How would you understand “fish scientists are now lending Thorrold their ears”underlined in the last paragraph?
A. They are very interested in Thorrold’s research findings.
B. They want to know where they can find fish.
C. They lend their fish for chemical studies.
D. They wonder if Thorrold can find growth rings from their ears.

Ed Viesturs grew up in Rockford, Illinois, where the tallest thing on the horizon was the water tower. But on Thursday, Viesturs became the only American to climb to the top of the world’s 14 highest mountains.
His last hike was up on Mount Annapurna, in Asia’s snow—capped Himalayas. At 26,545 feet, its peak is the 10th highest in the world. It is the mountain that inspired(激励)him to start climbing.
“It is likely to be the trickiest, the most dangerous,” said Viesturs, “There’s no simple way to climb it. There are threatening avalanches(雪崩)and ice falls that protect the mountain.”
In high school, Viesturs read French climber Maurice Herzog’s tale of climbing the icy Annapurna. Herzog’s story was of frostbite (冻伤)and difficulty and near—death experiences. Viesturs was hooked right away.
Viesturs got his start on Washington’s Mount Rainier in 1977, guiding hikes in the summer. Fifteen years ago, he set out to walk up to the world’s highest peaks. Finally, he’s done.
The pioneering climber talks about mountains as if they were living creatures that should be treated with respect. “You have to use all of your senses, all of your abilities to see if the mountain will let you climb it,” said Viesturs. “If we have the patience and the respect, and if we’re here at the right time, under the right circumstances, they allow us to go up, and allow us to come down.”
What’s next for a man who can’t stop climbing? “I’m going to hug my wife and kids and kind of kick back and enjoy the summer.” says Viesturs. But for a man who’s climbed the world’s 14 tallest mountains, he will probably soon set off on yet another adventure.
