Young adult film-makers all hope to show their works in international festivals like Sundance and Toronto.But what about really young film-makers who aren’t in film school yet and aren’t,strictly speaking,even adults?
They are at the heart of Wingspan Arts Kids Film Festival,tomorrow,in a setting any director might envy:Lincoln Centre.Complete with “red carpet” interviews and

various awards,the festival has much in common with events for more experienced movie-makers,except for the age of the participants:about 8 to 18.
“What’s really exciting is that it’s film for kids by kids,” said Cori Gardner,managing director of Wingspan Arts,a nonprofit organization offering youth arts programs in the New York area.This year the festival will include films not only from Wingspan but also from other city organizations and one from a middle school in Arlington,Virginia.“We want to make this a national event,” Ms.Gardner added.
The nine shorts to be shown range from a Claymation biography of B.B.King to a science fiction adventure set in the year 3005.“A lot of the material is really mature,” Ms.Gardner said,talking about films by the New York City branch of Global Action Project,a media arts and leadership-training group.“The Choice is about the history of a family and Master Anti-Smoker is about the dangers of second-hand smoke.Dream of the Invisibles describes young immigrants’ feelings of both belonging and not belonging in their adopted country.”
The festival will end with an open reception at which other films will be shown.These include a music video and a full-length film whose title is Pressures. 1.Wingspan Arts Kids Film Festival________. A.is organized by a middle school B.is as famous as the Toronto Festival C.shows films made by children

To me,life without music would not be exciting.I realize that this is not true for everybody.Many people get along quite well without going to the concert,or listening to the record.But music plays an important part in everyone’s life,whether he realizes it or not.Try to imagine,for example,what films or TV plays would be like without music.Would the feelings,the moving plots and the greatest interests,be so exciting or dramatic?I’m not sure about it.
Now we have been speaking of music in its more common meaning—the kind of music we hear in the concert hall;we discover them in our everyday life too—in the rhythm of the sea,the melody of a bird in the woods and so on.So music surely has meaning for everyone,in some way or other.And,of course,it has special meaning for those who have spent all their lives working on playing or writing music.
It is well said,“Through music a child enters a world of beauty,expresses himself from his heart,feels the joy of doing things alone,learns to take care of others,develops his mind and makes his body strong.” 6.What does the writer say more about in the text? A.Life full of music. B.Life without music. C.The importance of music. D.The development of music.
7.From the text,we learn that many people ________. A.don’t realize the importance of music B.get along quite well without music
C.go to the concert instead of enjoying music D.think music would be less exciting than films
8.What does the underlined word “melody” in the second paragraph mean in the text? A.Flying. C.Singing.
B.Looking.
D.Living.
9.From the last paragraph,we learn that music ________. A.is very important,especially for children B.is very necessary for our everyday life C.can make our life exciting and dramatic D.can enter into another beautiful world
10.What’s the meaning for those who work on playing or writing music? A.They treat music as their life.
B.They think everyone thinks highly of music. C.They don’t think music is important.
4
D.They think it’s only their job.
