[00:23.72]We'll interview Mr Malcolm Langland.

[00:27.95]He is a famous actor who plays the leading part

[00:32.78]in the new Shakespeare 1 play in London.

[00:36.73]"Welcome to studio 2,Mr Langland.""Thank you.It's a pleasure to be here."

[00:43.57]"As the first question

[00:46.84]I should like to ask you how your career in the theater started."

[00:52.58]"Have you always wanted to be an actor?" "No,I'm not really.

[00:58.83]When I was a student I hope to become a teacher."

[01:03.79]"I sometimes dreams of being a famous star

[01:08.34]but I grow up in a small town in the west People there don't have big dreams.

[01:15.42]When I was young,I looked only what I saw was possible in our small town.

[01:22.18]We live far away from the big cities.We didn't even have a theater.

[01:28.74]Films were shown in the school library, there wasn't a lot to do.

[01:35.09]"When you were 18 years old you went to university in Lebanon.

[01:40.75]You studied law,why didn't you study art?"

[01:45.90]"Because my father didn't want me to study art.

[01:51.57]He said that I could never find a good job as an art student.

[01:57.03]My father wanted me to study medicine or engineering 3.

[02:02.49]Well,I chose to study law,It was boring to me.

[02:08.34]In my free time,I joined the students' club.

[02:13.09]I spent many many evenings there.We used to sing,dance and act on the stage."

[02:20.96]"And when did you decide to become an actor?"

[02:25.21]"When I met my wife Meryl in the students club.

[02:29.89]She made me live in university and start a career with her in the thearter."

[02:36.34]"You had a job in the theater before planning your first film.

[02:42.19]How did that come about? "In the first film I acted I was only given a small part.

[02:50.14]It was the dream machine." Keanu introduced me to the director 4.

[02:56.69]I was only a beginning actor and didn't have any experience.

[03:02.57]It was a small beginning but it was the beginning of my career.

[03:08.63]SPEAKING

[03:14.38]Ask questions about the place where they grew up,the time when they were young,

[03:21.64]the reasons why they chose their jobs and about their career.

[03:28.61]Meryl Streep was born in a small village in American in 1949.

[03:36.48]After high school Meryl went to study at a famous drama 5 school.

[03:43.32]While still a student,she played roles in many plays.

[03:49.69]After graduating,she went to New York,

[03:54.74]where she started working as an actress

[03:59.18]and won the Theater World Award for her role in a play.

[04:05.21]Meryl Streep made her first film,called Julia in 1977.

[04:13.26]A few years later,

[04:17.10]she won her first Oscar as Best Actress for the film Kramer vs Kramer(1979).

[04:25.04]During the 1980s and 1990s she won many more prizes while acting 6 in famous films

[04:34.31]such as Sophie's Choice(1982),

[04:38.07]Out of Africa(1985)and Music of the Heart(1999).

[04:43.32]Meryl Streep got married in 1978 and has a son and three daughters.

[04:51.66]Keanu Reeves was born in Lebanon in 1964.

[04:57.72]He grew up in Toronto and left high school without a degree when he was seventeen.

[05:04.98]In the beginning he took many small jobs to make money.

[05:10.75]When he was twenty years old,he acted in his first film,called Wolfboy(1984).

[05:18.12]In 1986 he moved to Hollywood 7 to live with his stepfather,who is a film director.

[05:26.48]After acting in many cheap films for a few years,

[05:31.94]he was asked to play a role in the film Speed in 1994.

[05:38.89]This film quickly made him famous.

[05:43.33]Since then

[05:46.17]Keanu Reeves has acted in more than twelve films such as The Matrix(1999),

[05:53.41]Sweet November(2001)and Hardball (2001).

[05:57.96]READING GETTING TO KNOW STEVEN SPIELBERG

[06:06.81]Steven Spielberg, whose mother was a music teacher,

[06:12.45]was born in 1946 in a small town in America.

[06:18.41]He started making short films when he was still a young boy.

[06:24.05]He made his first real film when he was twelve.

[06:28.91]This was a film in which Spielberg used real actors instead of toys.

[06:35.68]He wrote the scripts 8 for the films himself.

[06:40.25]In 1959 Spielberg won a prize for a short film which he made

[06:47.41]when he was thirteen years old.

[06:51.17]A few years later,when he was sixteen,he made a film called Firelight.

[06:58.53]When Spielberg was young,his dream was to go to the Film Academy 9,but he could't

[07:05.90]The reason why he could not go there was that his grades were too low.

[07:12.17]After studying English he got a small job at a film studio.

[07:18.02]Here he worked on a short film,

[07:21.89]which won him a job as the youngest film director in the world.

[07:27.82]This was the moment when Spielberg's career really took off Jaws 10(1975),

[07:35.37]one of his first films,was a real blockbuster.

[07:40.51]It is about a big white shark that attacks swimmers who are spending their holidays in a small village by the sea.

[07:48.95]Many people who saw the film were afraid to swim in the sea

[07:54.80]when they remembered the scenes in which people were eaten by the shark.

[08:00.57]Spielberg has made two films about creatures that come to the earth from outer space.

[08:07.63]For example,ET(1982)is about a young boy called Elliott

[08:13.79]who makes friends with a small creature from outer space

[08:18.76]and helps him to find a way to go home.

[08:23.12]The world of adults is cold.

[08:27.06]Scientists want to find ET to cut him into pieces to do research.

[08:33.93]But in the world of children and the world where ET comes from,

[08:39.78]love and friendship are the most important things in life.

[08:44.85]Jurassic Park,which Spielberg made in 1993,

[08:51.02]is about a park where a very rich man keeps different kinds of dinosaurs 11.

[08:57.50]When the park is hit by a storm,things start going wrong.

[09:03.24]The film becomes very exciting when the children are hunted by meat-eating dinosaurs.

[09:10.32]After these highly 12 successful films

[09:14.58]Spielberg made several follow-ups of Jaws and Jurassic Park.

[09:20.54]His later films such as Schindler's List and Saving 13 Private Ryan

[09:26.60]are about the cruelty 14 of war.

[09:30.25]In his war films,he has shown that love and peace will win over war in the end.

[09:37.20]Steven Spielberg is one of the top directors 15 in the film industry

[09:43.08]and also has many fans in China.

[09:47.34]When asked about the secret of his success,

[09:51.78]Steven Spielberg said that he owes 17 much of his success and happiness

[09:57.84]to his wife and children.

[10:01.21]He met Cate Capshaw, who is an actress,when he was working on one of his films.

[10:08.47]After that it still took seven years before they finally got married.

[10:14.43]The couple has seven children in all.

[10:18.97]INTEGRATING SKILLS

[10:25.53]Reading and writing

[10:28.77]NOT ONE LESS

[10:32.32]Zhang Yimou's film

[10:35.98]"Not One Less"tells a simple but moving story.

[10:42.14]Mr Gao, the only teacher of the Shuiquan Primary School,

[10:48.80]has to stay away for a month to take care of his sick mother.

[10:54.68]The village leader,Mr Tian,

[10:58.52]asks Wei Minzhi to take Mr Gao's place until he comes back.

[11:05.18]Minzhi is only a 13-year-old girl who has finishied her primary school.

[11:12.26]When she is asked to do the job, she says she can read,write and sing.

[11:19.92]She gets the job because there is nobody else in the village who can take it.

[11:26.76]The most important thing for young Minzhi

[11:31.51]is not to lose any more pupils from the school-NOT ONE LESS-before Mr Gao returns!

[11:41.96]At first Minzhi doesn't know what her students need to learn.

[11:48.34]And she doesn't know how to keep them quiet in class.

[11:53.98]She writes the lessons onto the blackboard

[11:58.65]and then makes her students copy them into their notebooks.

[12:04.22]She tries to keep the students in the classroom

[12:09.18]by locking them up in the classroom and running after those who escape.

[12:16.16]The naughtiest pupil in her class is an 11-year-old boy named Zhang Huike.

[12:23.60]He causes trouble for Minzhi almost every day.

[12:28.96]Perhaps you think Minzhi will be happy when Huike runs away from school.

[12:35.80]No!When she hears that Huike has gone to town,

[12:42.04]she becomes very worried and determines to bring Huike back safely.

[12:49.41]Minzhi wants to go to town,but she can't afford to buy a bus ticket.

[12:56.54]All the other pupils do their best to help her get onto a bus without a ticket.

[13:03.91]When Minzhi has to get off the bus,she walks till she finally reaches the town.

[13:11.56]She looks everywhere but cannot find Huike.

[13:17.44]Then she decides to ask the TV station for help.

[13:22.59]She wants them to let her appear live on the air,hoping that Huike will see her.

[13:30.84]She waits at the gate of the TV station for two days till the boss calls her.

[13:38.21]When Huike sees the crying Minzhi on television,

[13:43.80]he himself starts crying,but he is also happy to see her.

[13:50.25]At last,both Minzhi and Huike

[13:55.42]go back to their village together with the people from the TV station.

[14:01.98]Many people like this film not just because the story itself is moving,

[14:09.11]but also because most of the people in the film

[14:13.84]use their real names and play themselves.
