A long time ago, my grandma and grandpa lived in a house with a big front yard. They planted lots of vegetables and flowers in the yard.

They worked hard to keep the garden growing. All summer long, the family ate food from the garden and enjoyed the flowers.

Years passed. It became harder for them to keep up the garden. So they made it a little smaller.

Then one summer Grandpa died. It was a lonely winter for Grandma. It was hard for her to care for the garden alone. When spring came, she planted just a few vegetables and flowers.

One day in the early summer, Grandma heard big noises in the yard. She looked out of the window and saw thousands of bees.

What could she do? Should shehiresomeone to get rid of the bees? But that would cost more than she could afford. She decided to wait.

Over the next few days, the bees were busy with their own business. Grandma decided the bees wouldn’t bother anyone, so she didn’t give them another thought.

That summer, Grandma’s little garden grew and grew. The neighbors would stop to admire the big crop of vegetables and the lovely flowers.

One day, Grandma’s brother vis?ited. As Grandma made him delicious squash pan cakes (南瓜煎餅), she told him about the bees.

Frank said, “Farmers often hire beekeepers to set up beehives (蜂窩). The bees, pollinate (傳粉) the crops and help them to grow.”

“So that’s why my garden is doing so well!” Grandma exclaimed (歡呼). After that, she believed that Grandpa had sent the bees to take his place and make Grandma’s little garden grow and grow...

Movies for the Blind?

When you think of the cinema, the phrase "watching 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 (受損的) people choose movies that they can follow without the help of an assistant to explain what is happening on the screen. Klein gives movies a rating from 1 to 10 based on several factors. 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 dialogue between the characters is better than long silences or noisy action scenes.

Of course, visually impaired people can enjoy many films with the help from a friend who doesn’t mind explaining the parts of a movie that can only be seen. But that means that someone is talking during the movie, which could annoy some audience members. It also means that these 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. Visually impaired moviegoers receive a wireless headset to wear during the movie. This allows them to listen to the narration (敘述) 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, "So good, blind people will like it" and "I'm glad I couldn't see it." Forry became a writer after going blind at the age of 20 and he decided to go to 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 "watching" The Sixth Sense, Forry commented that he thought the movie was excellent, but that he envied the boy who was the main character: "He had six senses, and I only have four."

1.Which movie might receive a good rating from Marty Klein?

A. A action film with many fight scenes.

B. A science fiction movie about time travel into the past and the future

C. A romantic comedy with four main characters and lots of conversations.

D. An adventure with many explosions and special effects.

2.According to the article, how are some movie theaters dealing with the problem of blind people going to movies?

A. They are asking the assistants not to annoy the other audience members.

B. They are providing headsets so blind people can hear a recorded narration.

C. They are providing trained employees to describe the movie to blind people.

D. They are asking blind people to enjoy the music and the other sounds in the theater.

3.What is the main idea of the article?

A. More and more blind people enjoy going to movies.

B. Marty Klein and Jay Forry write movie reviews for blind people.

C. Moviemakers are trying to make films more interesting for the blind.

D. Movie reviews and new technologies make it easier for the blind to enjoy the movies.
