Section Ⅳ Discovering Useful Structures
[课时跟踪检测]
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A documentary (纪录片) about Du Fu, a great Chinese poet, has caught the attention of many people. It was produced by a British director named Michael Wood.
It seemed impossible to show the life of the Sage of Poetry (诗圣) in a one-hour documentary and make sure foreign audience could get the culture and spirit of the East. But Michael Wood did it. More works, such as The Story of China, The Story of China's Reform and Opening Up, have not only touched many in the West, but also been accepted and appreciated by Chinese audience.
In Wood's view, there are already plenty of works about China's rapid economic growth, but many in the West want to know more about its history and culture. He wishes his documentaries can reach the viewers' hearts.
To make it as objective and truthful as possible, Wood reached out to many Chinese people who were kind and warm-hearted. Wood recalled that in Shexian County in Anhui Province, a shopkeeper took them around to see the beautiful scenery and helped them with shooting and recording, which left him a deep impression.
Wood's documentaries are full of his love for the Chinese culture, and he managed to pass on that to his audience with different culture experiences.
