The Kid That Saved His Dad

On a sunny day last April, Bode, then nine, and his father, John Taylor, 54, were snowmobiling around the remote country of Lake Tahoe. As they were driving on the snow, a little dry branch jammed in the brake of John's vehicle. Unable to slowdown, John rushed toward a pine tree. He moved to jump off the vehicle before it crashed, but his pant leg (裤腿) caught underneath it. John felt his leg broken. As he sank six inches into the powdery snow, he could tell his arms and shoulder were injured too. Bode rushed to dig out his father, but John stopped him. They had no water, little food, and no cellphone service."Get on your snowmobile, "John told Bode. "Follow the road, and try to find help."

After a 20-minute ride, Bode spotted a tour group and asked the guide to radio for help. The rescuers quickly appeared on the scene. And Bode led them through the white wilderness to his dad, who was pale and in pain.

While they were waiting for a plane to send John to the nearest hospital, the rescuers quickly stabilized his leg. An hour later, he received surgery for the broken leg and internal bleeding.

Today, John's leg has healed enough for him to take Bode out on dirt bikes. Father and son now carry extra devices on their trips, including a two-way radio with an emergency button.“T'm still a little afraid to go out on a snowmobile," says Bode.“But I'm starting to feel better about it."

Tisha Shaw, Bode's mother, says her son's courage and quick thinking have led her to treat him as more of an adult. She lets him stay up later at night because“I trust his judgment," she says.

How to Shoot a Movie

A movie is a series of pictures. Each image is a still picture, just like a picture you take with a regular camera. But the pictures flash by so fast in a movie. As a result, you see horses run, people talk,and other kinds of motion.(1) Movies are also called films because they are filmed.

Lots of work has to be done before the filming begins. The producer and the director plan how and when they will film each scene.

A movie is filmed scene by scene.(2) The scenes are not usually filmed in the order you see in the movie. Sometimes the weather is bad and an outdoor scene cannot be filmed. Big fancy sets take a long time to build. Scenes using these sets are often shot later. However, you may see them at the beginning of the film.

Sometimes a movie needs special effects. They include small models of huge scenes and cleverly designed sets.(3) Movie makers use these to film scenes and places that do not exist. They might use a small model of a large building to film the building falling down.

Films can be turned into computer files.(4) They can use computers to make new images.For example, dinosaurs (恐龙) made by computer looked like they were flying in some films.

(5)Many images in Titanic, including crowds of people on the ship, were actually made by computer. In some other films, computers were used to make the actors look as if they were fighting while floating in the air.
