He was no scholar, and his classmates teased him.Rather than reading, the kid really preferred running around with an 8mm camera, shooting homemade movies of wrecks of his Lionel train set(which he showed to friends for a small fee)
In his second year of high school he dropped out.But when his parents persuaded him to return, he was mistakenly placed in a learning-disabled class, he lasted one month.Only when his family moved to another town did he land in a more suitable high school where he graduated eventually.
After being denied entrance into a traditional filmmaking school, Steven Spielberg enrolled  in English at California State University at Long Beach .Then in 1965 he recalls ,in one of those casual moments, his life took a complete turn.Visiting Universal Studios ,  he met Chuck Silvers, an executive in the editorial department.Silvers liked the kid who made 8mm films and invited him back sometime to visit.
He appeared the next day.Without a job or a security clearance ,   Spielberg(dressed in a dark suit and tie, carrying his father’s briefcase with nothing inside but “a sandwich and candy bars’’)walked confidently up to the guard at the gate of Universal Studios and gave him a casual wave.The guard waved back.He was in.
“For the entire summer,” Spielberg remembers,” I dressed in my suit and hung out with the directors and writes including Silvers, who knew the kid was not a studio employee, but winked at the deception) I even found an office that was not being used ,and became a squatter.I bought some plastic tiles and put my name in the building directory: Steven  Spielberg, Room 23C〞
It paid off for everyone.Ten years later the 28-year-old Spielberg directed Jaws, which took in $470 million, then the highest-grossing movie of all time.Dozens of films and awards have followed because Steven Spielberg knew what his teachers didn’t---talent is in the eyes of the filmmaker.

I fell in love with Yosemite National Park the first time I saw it, when I was 13. My parents took us there for camping. On the way out, I asked them to wait while I ran up to E1 Capitan, a  16  rock of 3,300 feet straight up. I touched that giant rock and knew  17 I wanted to climb it. That has been my life’s passion (钟爱) ever since 18 the rocks and mountains of Yosemite. I’ve long made Yosemite my  19 .

About 15 years ago I started seeing a lot of  20 , like toilet paper, beer cans, and empty boxes, around the area. It’s   21  me why visitors started respecting the place 22 and treated such a beautiful home-like place this way.

I tried  23  trash(垃圾)myself, but the job was too big. I would  24  an hour or two on the job, only to find the area trashed all over again weeks later. Finally, I got so  25  it that I decided something had to change.

As a rock-climbing guide, I knew 26  about organizing any big event. But in 2004, together with some climbers, I set a date for a 27 . On that day, more than 300 people  28 . Over three days we collected about 6,000 pounds of trash. It was amazing how much we were able to  29 . I couldn’t believe the  30  we made—the park looked clean!

Each year volunteers come for the cleanup from everywhere. In 2007 alone, 2,945 people  31 42,330 pounds of trash.

I often hear people  32   about their surroundings. If you are one of them, I would say the only way to change things is by     33 rather than complaining. We need to teach by  34   . You can’t blame others  35  you start with yourself.
