Unit 4 Making the news
To Capture the Last Pay Phones 捕捉最后的公用电话 We’re heading north up Rochester’s Goodman Street, past pizza places and gas stations and narrow wood-frame homes, when Eric Kunsman spots a red crowned kiosk (公用电话亭) in front of the parking lot of a convenience store/smoke shop. It’s a pay phone, one he’d probably en many times before but never truly en until now. “Look at that!” he says. We pull over, and he pops the hatch on his SUV. “I can’t believe I misd this one. ” In the back, Kunsman keeps his photography equipment—vintage (老式的) Haslblad film camera (哈苏相机) in a suitca-size ca. It’s an attention-getting rig (装备), and as he ts it up and strains it on the battered telephone, the owner of the smoke shop emerges, frowning. Kunsman is very familiar with this part of the process, and with an enormous grin he explains himlf: He’s a photographer with a newspaper and he takes pictures of pay phones before they disappear. 【外刊概要】 本篇文章介绍了Eric Kunsman是一名媒体摄影师, 他目前的任务是拍摄城市最后一批公用电话, 因为公用电话正在逐渐从人们的生活中消失, 他要在这之前用镜头记录下这个时代发展的陪伴者。 | 主题语境 人与社会 课标话题 新闻媒体 思维品质 通过阅读外刊文章, 理解文章内容, 拓展国际视野, 增强爱国情怀, 关注社会热点, 积极参与实践, 培养思维能力。 对接教材 必修5 Unit 4 Making the news |
