Of course, visually impaired people can enjoy many films when a friend explains the parts that can only be seen.But that means that blind people cannot go to the movies independently. To solve these problems, some movie theaters have begun to offer recorded audio descriptions of the movements, scenery, and special effects that other audience members can see on the screen.Blind moviegoers receive a wireless headset to wear during the movie. This allows them to listen to the narration while still hearing a movie's music and other sounds that surround them in the theater.
Another blind movie reviewer, Jay Forry, writes movie reviews that are published on his website. He also writes for newspapers and is a guest on radio shows. Forry gives movies one of five ratings, including, "So good, blind people will like it" and "I'm glad I couldn't see it." Forry became a writer after going blind at the age of 20 and he decided to go to college. His first articles appeared in the college newspaper, and Forry's writing skills and sense of humor are what keep people reading his reviews or listening to them on the radio.After "watching" The Sixth Sense, Forry commented that he thought the movie was excellent, but that he envied the boy who was the main character: "He had six senses, and I only have four."

Symptoms of pervasive anti-Intellectualism in our schools aren't difficult to find. "Schools have always been in a society where practical is more important than intellectual," says education historian and writer Diane Ravitch "Schools could be a counterbalance." Ravitch's latest book. Left Back: A Century of Failed School Reforms. traces what she considers the roots of anti-Intellectualism in our schools. Schools, she concludes, are anything but a counterbalance to the American distaste for intellectual pursuits.
But they could and should be. When we encourage our children to reject the life of the mind, we leave them vulnerable to exploitation and control. Without the ability to think critically, to defend their ideas and understand the ideas of others, they cannot fully participate in our democracy. If we continue along this path, says writer Earl Shorris our nation will suffer. "We will become a second-rate country," he says. "We will have a less civil society."
"Intellect is resented as a form. of power or privilege." Writes historian and Professor Richard Hofstadter in Anti-Intellectualism in American Life. a Pulitzer Prize winning book on the roots of anti-Intellectualism in US politics, religion, and education. Animosity toward intellectuals is in our country's DNA. From the beginning of our history, says Hofstadter. our democratic and populist urges have driven us to reject anything that smells of elitism Practicality, common sense, and native intelligence have been considered more noble qualities than anything you could learn from a book.
Ralph Waldo Emerson and other Transcendentalist philosophers thought schooling and rigorous book learning put unnatural restraints on children: "We are shut up in schools and college recitation rooms for 10 or 15 years and come out at last with a bellyful of words and do not know a thing." Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn exemplified American anti-intellectualism. Its hero avoids being civilized—going to school and learning to read—so he can preserve his innate goodness.
Intellect, according to Hofstadter, is different from native intelligence, a quality we reluctantly admire. Intellect is the critical, creative, and contemplative side of the mind. Intelligence seeks to grasp, manipulate, reorder, and adjust, while intellect examines, ponders, wonders, theorizes, criticizes and imagines.
School remains a place where intellect is mistrusted. Hofstadter says our country's educational system is in the grips of people who "joyfully and militantly proclaim their hostility to intellect and their eagerness to identify with children who show the least intellectual promise."
What do American parents expect their children to acquire in school？
A．Profound knowledge of the world.
B．Practical abilities for future career.
C．The habit of thinking independently.
D．The confidence in intellectual pursuits.
