How Steven Spielberg Stays Inspired

Ask a young person who the greatest American film director is, and you may get the answer Steven Spielberg, 【1】 has certainly made more successful films than any other director in the West.

Spielberg was born in America in 1946. What he impressed others most was 【2】 he had unusual abilities when he was very young: completing his first 15-minute home movie at 13. He earned $100 at the age of 16, 【3】 he made a 135-minute home movie called Firelight and it was shown at a local cinema.

A Hollywood film studio employed Spielberg to make a full-length film Sugarland Express on discovering his talent for movie-making. His next film was Jaws, a film about a shark that ate people. This was one of 【4】 (successful) films of all times. He received the Award for lifetime achievement at the Golden Globes (金球奖) in 2009.

Despite all his outstanding achievements in his field, some of his films have been less successful in the last fifteen years. But people can never deny the fact 【5】 he, more than anyone else in the history of films, understands the meaning of the word “entertainment”.

Now, Spielberg’s role as a father of seven has taught him a great deal about 【6】 makes a good story — at bedtime and otherwise. When his kids were growing up, he’d tell them stories every night【7】 he could stay active in film-making.

“In the past few years, I【8】 (inspire) by everybody who makes a good movie,” Spielberg said.” “I can’t risk 【9】 (lose) my followers’ passion for film.” Also, he owes (归因) his success to his attempt【10】 (keep) working and so he looks to his contemporaries (同时代的人) for that kind of ... current inspiration.

Eyestrain is often related to the amount of exposure to screens, the distance from eyes to screens and the use of multiple screens simultaneously. However, studies have also shown that the blue light produced by digital devices today reaches further into the eyes than other kinds of light. This light actually assists attention during the day but can result in interrupted sleep patterns at night.

Scientists have also said that eyestrain is not a necessary evil, even in a modern world that revolves around technology. Changing some simple details about your relative position to screens, such as staying about 60 centimeters away, will help. Also, avoid overhead and other direct sources of light, and use shaded lamps and window blinds while looking at digital devices instead.

Beyond the way that relates to digital screens, there are also ways to change how you view screens that are helpful in combating eyestrain. To begin with, your computer screen should be high-resolution(高清的), at least 50 centimeters wide diagonally and may require a screen filter to decrease reflections. Also, be aware that “computer glasses”, which cut down glare and blue light, are available and those contact lenses can increase the risk of eyestrain.

Besides, to reduce your risk for computer-vision syndrome and neck, back and shoulder pain, take frequent breaks during your computer workday. Many workers take only two 15-minute breaks from their computer throughout their day. According to a recent study, discomfort and eyestrain are significantly reduced when computer workers take four additional five-minute “mini-breaks” throughout their workday. And these additional breaks don’t reduce the workers’ productivity.

Finally, many of us fall into bad habits while using digital screens that only worsen the effects of eyestrain. While viewing digital screens, many people blink one third less often than they usually do. Place a reminder on your computer to “blink” so that your eyes don’t dry out. Also, rest your eyes’ focusing muscles by using the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, focus on something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.

【2】Which of the following ways might not be helpful in relieving eyestrain?

C. Adjusting your position.D. Changing your hardware.

【3】It can be inferred from the passage that .

A. overhead lights make the eyes less tired

B. taking frequent breaks reduces eyestrain

C. people tend to blink more often at a computer

D. technology and eyestrain unavoidably go hand in hand

Children have their own rules in playing games. They seldom need the referee and rarely trouble to keeping scores. We don’t care much about two wins or loses, but it doesn’t seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that depend a lot of on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot directly compared. They also enjoy games that move in stage, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the deciding of which side shall started, is almost a game itself. Grown-ups can hard find children’s games exciting, and they often feel puzzled at how their kids play such simple games again and again.
