Unit 7PhotographersA photographer is a person who takes photographs using a camera. A professional photographeruses photography to earn money whilst amateur photographers take photographs for pleasure and torecord an event, emotion, a place, or a person.A professional photographer may be an employee, for example, of a newspaper, or may contractto cover a particular event such as a wedding or graduation, or to illustrate an advertisement.

During the war, women had been employed in factories and farms to take over for the men who had left to join the war. Now that the men were home, women were returning to the homes in roles as wives and mothers. On February 12, 1947, Christian Dior held his first couture show. He showed a collection of luxurious clothes:soft shoulders, narrow waists, and full flowing skirts. Fashion magazines in Europe and the US nicknamed the Christian Dior collection the “New Look”. This “New Look” was exactly what people were looking for after the war and Christian Dior’s new designs fit the positions of these women perfectly. After his runway show, everyone wanted a piece of the collection.1• 战争中，男人们离开家去前方参战，女人就接替了男人到工厂和农场里面工作。

目录CONTENTS 艺术类提Unit 3 The Emotional Power of FilmLead-inModule 1 Learn to TalkModule 2 Learn to ReadModule 3 Scenario LinkModule 4 WritingModule 5 Culture SalonOf all the products of popular culture, none is more sharply impressed in our collective imagination than the movies. Most Americans instantly recognize images produced by the movies. Even those who have never seen Citizen Kane（《公民凯恩》）or Casablanca respond instantly to the advertisements, parodies（翻版作品）, and TV skits（小喜剧)that use these films’ dialogue, images, and characters.Movies are key cultural objects that offer a window into American cultural and social history. A mixture of art, business, and popular entertainment, the movies provide a host of insights into Americans’ shifting ideals, fantasies, and thoughts. Like any cultural object, the movies can be approached in a variety of ways. Cultural historians have treated movies as sociological documents that record the look and mood of particular historical settings; as ideological constructs that advance particular political or moral values or myths; as psychological texts that speak to individual and social anxieties and tensions; and as visual texts that offer complex levels of meaning and seeing.As Andrew Bergman has shown, the fantasy world of the movies played a critical social and psychological function for Depression era Americans: In the face of economic disaster, it kept alive a belief in the possibility of individual success, portrayed a government capable of protecting its citizens from external threats, and sustained a vision of America as a classless society. Again and again, Hollywood repeated the same formulas: A poor boy from the slums uses crime as a ladder of success. A back row chorus girl rises to the lead through luck and courage. A poor boy and a rich girl meet, go through crazy adventures, and fall in love. Out of these simple plots, Hollywood restored faith in individual initiative, in the effectiveness of government, and in a common American identity transcending social class.Discuss the following questions after watching some film clips.(1) Which clips impressed you most?

Do you think because I am poor and plain, I have no feelings? I promise you, if God had gifted me with wealth and beauty, I should make it as hard for you to leave me now as it is for me to leave you. But he did not. Yet my spirit can address yours, as if both had passed through the grave and stood before heaven equal.Edward Rochester: Jane.Jane Eyre: Let me go, sir.Edward Rochester: I love you. I love you!Jane Eyre: Please, don’t make me foolish.Edward Rochester: Foolish? I need you! What’s Blanch to me? I know what I am to her. Money to manure her father’s land with. Marry me, Jane. Say you’ll marry me.Jane Eyre: You mean it?Edward Rochester: You torture me with your doubts. Say yes, say yes (He takes her into his arm and kisses her.) God forgive me.

Audiences know they are in danger, the fear can’t be controlled.(2) What kind of excitement can the audience feel from watching horror movies?The enjoyment of horror movies is similar to riding roller coasters. The excitement of the unknown raises heart rate, and since the “horrors” pose no real threat, they can be managed, laughed about and enjoyed.(3) What is the magic charm of horror movies?The magic charm of horror movies is the feeling of relief when the movies are over.(4) What emotions can audiences experience simultaneously when watching horror movies?They experience both positive and negative emotions simultaneously.1.
