10．The vase purchased(purchase) at a high price turned out to be of little value. Ⅱ.阅读理解(建议用时：7分钟)
There's nothing like experiencing history to understand it. So instead of reading about the
U．S. Civil War in textbooks, some schoolchildren in Virginia are taking a hands-on(实际操作的) approach to learning about what happened in their area. They are creating videos related to the conflict, in which the northern Union and southern Confederate States fought over slavery, from 1861～1865.
In one scene children act two Union generals, meeting at the Rapidan River in central Virginia. The 12- and 13-year-olds are producing a mini-video or vodcast on the key role temporary pontoon bridges (浮桥) played during the war. Shane Lohr, who played one of the generals, learned the bridges provided big advantages for the armies because they could set them up quickly.
“They took horses and all the soldiers across the bridge, and once everyone crossed it they took it apart and brought it with them，” Lohr said.
The scene is in one of several videos related to the Civil War being produced by local schoolchildren.The project is sponsored by the Journey Through Hallowed Ground, which raises awareness of historical sites from Pennsylvania to Virginia, including many Civil War battlegrounds.
Jessie Aucoin, the group's Educational Programs Director, said the vodcasts are put to good use.
“We can upload them to the Internet, and teachers across the country, and probably, across the world, can then use them in their own classrooms，” Aucoin said.
With the help of advisors, the children also research, write, and edit the videos. Alexis Albert got a chance to try out directing and learned a lot about the Civil War's history in the process.
Student director John Ashley says the experience has made him think more about the human aspect of the war.
“In history books, you read about the battles and that sort of stuff. I learned a little bit more about the people who were living here at that time，” said Ashley.
