(2019陕西西安高三模拟) To personal trainer Sammy Callari,13-year-old Parker Seward is more than a client(客户).He’s his “little brother”.Over the past year,the pair have bonded.They play basketball together,share meals and dance to hip-hop like no one’s watching.
The trainer was asked to work with the 13-year-old boy,who has Down syndrome(唐氏症),because his coworker who dealt with the boy was out of town last spring.Callari had never worked with someone with a disability before.He was anxious the first day he met Parker.But Parker’s big smile and cheery introduction immediately put him at ease.He reminded Callari of himself when he was a teenager.Like Parker,Callari has also faced his fair share of challenges over the years.
As a high schooler,Callari described himself as being the weak kid.When it came to sports,he was always overlooked.His dream of playing baseball in college quickly faded away.When he went to college,Callari turned to a new sport.His younger brother trained him to become a boxer.Callari participated in five matches.Out of four of those fights he was the underdog,and he won three times.“I know how it feels,” Callari said.“Society tells you that you can’t do this,you can’t do that.” When it comes to Parker,Callari refuses to accept the word “can’t”.
The friends meet twice a week to train.They bike,box,run and work on their core with push-ups.Parker has a short attention span,so it’s Callari’s job to
keep him focused.“If Parker can do it,if he’s having fun,even with his frustration,then people will ask,‘Why can’t I do that?’” Callari said.“That’s the whole task right now.”
Callari recalls Parker’s mom once thanking him for taking a “chance” on her son.Callari told her he never viewed it that way.Parker may be the student,but Callari says he’s also the one who’s learning.

(21世纪报第16期) Ask middle schoolers to show you their city through the lens(镜头) of a camera and here’s what you’ll get:a colorful mosaic of images featuring their favorite people,places and things.There will be images of flowers and friends,street scenes and sneakers,and trees and trains.Such photographs made up an exhibition that was the end result of a special citywide photography lesson called “Everyday DC”.
“I love that DC is a place where people can come all together and be free and be with everyone that they love,”said Lauryn Tharpe,one of the four student curators who worked with their art teacher at Brookland Middle School
to put the exhibition together.“There’s more to DC than big buildings and important people.”
As part of the “Everyday DC” unit,students across the city learned basic photography and investigative reporting skills,thanks to a program that started last year.
“Everyday DC” was inspired by a popular Instagram feed called Everyday Africa,which was started by two professional photographers who noticed that their personal photos of Africa showed a different story than their professional work.The goal of the online photo “exhibition”was to show viewers what it’s like to live in Africa,as opposed to what people outside of Africa see in the news.
In Washington,students took photos to reflect their lives in the nation’s capital.Twelve middle schools each submitted about 10 student photographs,from beautiful portraits (肖像) to abstract close-ups (特写),action shots and images of the students’ favorite foods.Tharpe and another three students were
selected to be curators by their art teacher,Maame Bawuah,who coordinated (协调) the project for DC Public Schools.
“I have a lot of amazing students,although the four of them are quite exceptional,”said Bawuah,who chose the students to be curators because of their interest in both photography and museum curation.
A curator is someone who collects,organizes,cares for and displays anything in a collection.To get ready for the exhibition,the curators had to take care of many tasks,including taking their own photographs,helping their teacher gather and evaluate the submitted images and grouping the photos according to different themes.
5.What do we know about the “Everyday DC” exhibition?。
