In box-office terms, Steven Spielberg is the most successful movie director in the

world. Jaws, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Indiana Jones, Schindler’s List ... his movies

are cinema classics.

Q: What were you afraid of when you were a child?

A: I was my own monster (怪物). My fancy was unbelievable, so I was afraid of

everything. A chair could very quickly change into a mouse. I remember looking up at

the sky when I was five. One of the clouds up there looked like a beautiful bird, then

suddenly it was a tiger. I ran home crying.

Q: What did your parents feel about that?

A: For my parents my imagination was a real problem, so much so that they seriously

considered having me examined by a doctor. After all I was always seeing things that

didn’t exist (存在) except in my head. My mother and father thought I had something

wrong with my mind. I probably did — but it is the gateway to a great career!

Q: What do you consider your greatest career achievement so far?

A: The right to decide my own programs. That was always my only dream, telling my

stories without anyone else interfering (干预). It was also why I built my own

company.

Q: Which movie did you enjoy making most?

A: That was E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, because it was the first time I realized I

wanted to be a father. Three years later I had my first son.

Q: Do you make home movies?

A: Yes, I always have a video camera with me. At Christmas it’s traditional for my

family to see a movie about the family that lasts one hour. We all watch the film

together and everyone gets a DVD of it. 21. What did Spielberg’s parents think about his imagination?

Tonya, Elsa and Mark are students at LaGuardia High School in New York City.

It’s a school with regular academic (学术的) classes, but it also gives special attention

to the performing arts. Tonya likes dancing, Elsa wants to be an artist and Mark is a

singer.

The students are all 15, and they’re in 10th grade. They study subjects like

English, math, social studies, science and PE. They also choose a foreign language:

French, Italian, Spanish or Japanese. Students have many academic classes, but

during the school day they also take classes in the arts, like theater, art, dance and

music. Mark says, “I get the basic classes, but I also take a voice class and a music

history class.”

There is even more for LaGuardia students after school. There are more than 40

clubs for students. For example, there’s a movie club, a music club and an

environment club. “We have so many choices here,” says Tonya. “My favorite club is the camera club. I like taking photos. It’s also a great way to meet people with

common interests.”

Students at LaGuardia can also do many sports. For example, they can play

basketball, tennis, volleyball and soccer. Elsa is on the gymnastics team. She says, “I

like being on a team. It makes me work hard and do my best.” Students practice after

school. They compete against other high schools. Mark says, “At school, I study by

myself. I’m a singer, and I do that alone, too. That’s why I like playing on the

basketball team. We work together and compete against other teams.”

LaGuardia offers many great classes, clubs and sports for students. Students at

LaGuardia get a good education and they also develop their own interests. Many

LaGuardia students become dancers, singers and actors!
