UNIT 3Life stories_PART lUNDERSTANDING AND LEARNINGOverview_Movies play an important role in almost everyones life. People from the movie industry have considerable influence on the masses. They exhibit personality traits that deserve admiration and applause, and could be looked up to as role models. This unit will fully explore their best qualities. The two texts in the current unit are biographies, a genre of literature, which is a written account of another persons life. Each of the texts narrates, analyzes and interprets the most important facts of one prominent figure in the movie domain. Text A pays attention to actress Audrey Hepburns noble endeavor and her contribution to the cause of UNICEF, while Text B portrays the determination and fervent spirit of director and producer Steven Spielberg.The teacher can make students do additional research at the library, or Audrey Hepburn and Steven Spielberg in advance. Then in the classroom, the teacher may organize a variety of activities including pair work, group discussion, and mini-survey to talk about the films or the issue of fame, fortune, and social responsibility.Section A_Audrey Hepburn-A true angel in this worldBackground information1 Audrey HepburnAudrey Hepburn (1929-1993) was a slender, stylish motion picture actress known for her radiant beauty, her ability to project an air of sophistication tempered by a charming innocence, and her tireless efforts to aid needy children.Although born in Belgium, Hepburn had British citizenship through her father and attended school in England as a child. In 1939, however, at the onset of World War II, her mother(Hepburns father left the family when she was six years old) moved the child to the Netherlands (where the author of this text mistakenly considered Hepburn was born), thinking the neutral country safer than England. Throughout World War II, Hepburn endured hardships in Nazi-occupied Holland. She still managed, however, to attend school and take ballet lessons. After the war, she continued to study ballet in Amsterdam and in London. During her early 20s, she studied acting and worked as a model and dancer. After appearing in several British films and starring in the 1951 Broadway play Gigi (琪琪), Hepburn gained instant Hollywood stardom for playing the Academy Award-winning lead role in Roman Holiday. She remains one of few entertainers who have won Academy, Emmy, Grammy, and Tony Awards.Hepburns war-time struggles inspired her passion for humanitarian work. She devoted much of her later life to UNICEF, visiting famine-stricken villages, in Latin America, Africa, until shortly before her death of cancer in 1993. She was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in recognition of her work as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador in 1992.2 UNICEFUNICEF (United Nations International Childrens Emergency Fund) was created by the United Nations General Assembly on December 11, 1946, to provide emergency food and healthcare to children in countries that had been devastated by World War II. After 1950 the fund directed its efforts toward general programs for the improvement of childrens welfare, particularly in less-developed countries and in various emergency situations. The organizations broader mission was reflected in the name it adopted in 1953, the United Nations Childrens Fund, but it has continued to be known by the popular acronym based on this old name. Headquartered in New York City, UNICEF provides long-term humanitarian and developmental assistance to children and mothers in developing countries. UNICEFs programs emphasize developing community-level services to promote the health and well-being of children.3 UNICEF Ambassador of GoodwillMany celebrities have acted as international, regional or national ambassadors, depending on their profile, interests, and desired level of responsibility. The role of Goodwill Ambassador allows celebrities with a demonstrated interest in UNICEF issues to use their fame to draw attention to important issues. This may take the form of public appearances and talks, visits to troubled regions, and use of their political access to advocate UNICEF causes, all of which have the power to draw attention from the media and to create public awareness.4 Gregory PeckGregory Peck (1916-2003) was one of the worlds most popular film stars from the 1940s to the 1960s. He is best known for his performance in the 1962 film To Kill a Mockingbird, which earned him the Academy Award for Best Actor.In 1967 Peck received the Academys Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. He was also in 1969 for his lifetime humanitarian effort. Always politically progressive, Peck was active in such causes as anti-war protests, workers rights and civil rights.5 Billy WilderBilly Wilder (1906-2002) was an Austrian-born American filmmaker, screenwriter, producer artist, and journalist. His career spanned more than 50 years and 60 films. He is regarded as one of the most brilliant and versatile filmmakers of Hollywoods golden age. During his career, Wilder gained 20 Academy Award nominations and won six Oscars. He received a lifetime achievement award from the American Film Institute in 1986.6 Academy AwardsAn Academy Award (byname Oscar) is an award presented annually by the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science to recognize excellence of professionals in the film industry, including directors , actors , and writers. The award ceremony is one of the most prominent award ceremonies in the world, and is televised live in more than 200 countries annually.7 Hubert de GivenchyHubert de Givenchy (1927-,) is a French aristocrat and fashion designer who founder The House of Givenchy in 1952. He is famous for having designed much of the personal and professional wardrobe of Audrey Hepburn, as well as clothing for clients such as Jacqueline Kennedy.
