In box-office terms, Steven Spielberg is the most successful movie director in the world. Jaws, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Indiana Jones, Schindler’s List ... his movies are cinema classics.

Q: What were you afraid of when you were a child?

A: I was my own monster (怪物). My fancy was unbelievable, so I was afraid of everything. A chair could very quickly change into a mouse. I remember looking up at the sky when I was five. One of the clouds up there looked like a beautiful bird, then suddenly it was a tiger. I ran home crying.

Q: What did your parents feel about that?

A: For my parents my imagination was a real problem, so much so that they seriously considered having me examined by a doctor. After all I was always seeing things that didn’t exist (存在) except in my head. My mother and father thought I had something wrong with my mind. I probably did — but it is the gateway to a great career!

Q: What do you consider your greatest career achievement so far?

A: The right to decide my own programs. That was always my only dream, telling my stories without anyone else interfering (干预). It was also why I built my own company.

Q: Which movie did you enjoy making most?

A: That was E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, because it was the first time I realized I wanted to be a father. Three years later I had my first son.

Q: Do you make home movies?

A: Yes, I always have a video camera with me. At Christmas it’s traditional for my family to see a movie about the family that lasts one hour. We all watch the film together and everyone gets a DVD of it.

Tonya, Elsa and Mark are students at LaGuardia High School in New York City. It’s a school with regular academic (学术的) classes, but it also gives special attention to the performing arts. Tonya likes dancing, Elsa wants to be an artist and Mark is a singer.

The students are all 15, and they’re in 10th grade. They study subjects like English, math, social studies, science and PE. They also choose a foreign language: French, Italian, Spanish or Japanese.

Mark says, “I get the basic classe s, but I also take a voice class and a music history class.”

There is even more for LaGuardia students after school. There are more than 40 clubs for students. For example, there’s a movie club, a music club and an environment club. “We have so many choices here,” says Tonya. “My favorite club is
