课时作业(五) 必修第二册 Unit 1 Lights, camera, action!
一、阅读理解
In April 2008,I came across an essay a boy with autism(自闭症) had written when he was 14.I was impressed.I thought there was potential for a documentary.The director agreed.“Find the boy!” he said.A couple of months later,I found him,Anton.So it began—a film about Anton's transformation.At least,that's what I thought at the time.
During filming,I helped put him into different hospitals and camps for treatment and we became close.There were lots of unforgettable moments.I remember one visit when we sat together,talking quietly and eating food I'd made.Then it was time for me to go.Without saying a word,Anton stood up and started to bang his head against the wall.BAM.BAM.Blood streamed down his face.At that moment,looking at the despair on Anton's face,I recognized myself.What I recognized was an emotional abundance in him that I had myself.Like Anton,I was over the top.If I loved someone,I loved them completely.If I was upset,I let it show.But unlike Anton,I'd learned to edit emotions as if they were a film.But lately,I was waking up in the morning with one terrifying thought:“Who am I?” Anton helped me to answer this.He was the only person in my life who let me love without any holding back and who loved me the same way.
The film Anton's Right Here was released in October 2012 and shown at film festivals in Russia where it received prizes at several major Russian film festivals.
After the film was shown by the First TV Channel—Russia's main TV channel—letters flowed in.Autistic individuals and their families needed help.That's when the idea of a foundation began to take shape in my mind.The foundation,called Anton's Right Here,officially opened in December 2013.It's Russia's firstever centre for adults with autism.It keeps helping people with autism like Anton.
When we started to film,Anton was 19.He's now 31.I'm still very much a part of his life.With his unedited emotions,Anton reminds me every day of what it's like to be really,unreservedly loved and to love back in return.

A.She intended to make a film about Anton.
B.She saw Anton's potential to be a writer.
C.She wanted to transform Anton's life.
D.She was asked to do so by the director.
2.Why did Anton hurt himself during a visit?
A.He was lost for words.
B.His condition was getting worse.
C.He tended to lose his temper for no reason.
D.He did not want the writer to leave.
3.What do we know about the documentary from the passage?
A.It took 5 years to shoot.
B.It aroused little social concern.
C.A foundation of the same name was established by Anton.
D.Shooting it made a difference to the writer's life.
4.What lesson did the writer learn from Anton?
A.How to deal with autism.
B.How to edit her emotions.
C.How to love and be loved.
