What are special effects? Do you enjoy movies that

use a lot of special effects Dinosaurs from the distant past!

Space battles from the distant future! There has been a

revolution in special effects, and it has transformed the

movies we see.

The revolution began in the mid 1970s with George

Luc as’s Star Wars, a film that stunned(震惊) audiences.

That revolution continues to the present, with dramatic

changes in special-effects technology .The company

behind these changes is Lucas’s Industrial Light &

Magic(ILM). And the man behind the company is Dennis

Muren, who has worked with Lucas since Star Wars.

Muuren’s interest in special effects began very early.

At the age of 6, he was photographing toy dinosaurs and

spaceships. At 10, he had an 8 millimeter movie camera

and was making these things move through stop-motion.

(Stop-motion is a process in which objects are shot with a

camera, moved slightly, shot again, and so on. When the

shots are put together, the objects appear to move.)

Talk to Muren and you’ll understand what ILM is all

about: taking on new challenges. By 1989, Muren decided

he pushed the old technology as far as it would go.

He saw computer graphics(图像)（CG）technology as

the wave of the future and took a year off to master it.

With CG technology, inages can be scanned into a

computer for processing, for example, and many separate

shots can be combined into a single image. CG technology

has now reached the point, Muren says, where special effects can be used to do just about anything so that movies can tell stories than ever before. The huge success of Jurassic Park and its sequel(续集)，The Lose World, the stars of which were computer-generated dinosaurs, suggests that this may very well be true.

Goal of American Education

Education is an enormous and expensive part of

American Lfie. Its size is matched by its variety.

Differences in American schools compared with those

found in the majority of other countries lie in the fact that

education here has long been intended for everyone—not

just for a privileged elite. Schools are expected to meet the

needs of every child, regardless of ability, and also the

needs of society itself. This means that public schools offer

more than academic subjects. It surprises many people

when they come here to find high school offering such

courses as typing, sewing, radio repair, computer

programming or driver training, along with traditional

academic subjects such as mathematics, history, and

languages. Students choose their curricula depending on

their interests, future goals, and level of ability. The under-

lying goal of American education is to develop every child

to the utmost of his or her own possibilities, and to give

each one a sense of civic and community consciousness.

Schools have traditionally played an important role in

creating national unity and “Americanizing”the millions

of immigrants who have poured into this country from

many different backgrounds and origins. Schools still play
