People watch movies with their eyes What about people who are blind or have trouble seeing? How can they enjoy the visuals? When you think of the cinema, the phrase "watching a movie" probably comes to mind, and, in fact, moviemakers work very hard to make their films interesting visually But movies also contain stories, dialogues, music and sound effects - things that people don't need to see in order to enjoy
Movie reviewer Marty Klein has created a website to help visually impaired people choose
movies that they can follow themselves Klein gives movies a rating from 1 to 10 A movie received a high rating if it has only a few main characters whose voices are easy to recognize Klein also liked interesting stories without many changes in time and place A large amount of dialogue between the characters was better than long silences or noisy action scenes His reviews are still online, but the site
is no longer updated
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, then 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." Jay Forry also notes that modem theaters now have excellent sound systems, something he appreciates more than the average moviegoer
Trang 5In the end, going to the movies should be a fun and exciting experience - for both the sighted and the blind

The Advancing Development of Artificial Limbs
It wasn’t very long ago that losing a limb automatically meant a drastic drop in the quality of
a person’s life Thanks to the wonders of modern science, people now are recovering from all sorts of horrendous injuries that leave them disabled The reason they are able to do so is remarkable advances made in the field of artificial limbs
Doctors have been creating prosthetic limbs for their patients dating back to ancient Greece For most of history, however, these replacements were mainly for cosmetic purposes Pirates, knights, foot soldiers that lost their limbs in battle would get them, so they wouldn’t lose face when returning to society It wasn’t until the mid-19th century that doctors were able to perform surgeries to reliably attach limbs to people’s bodies and amputate limbs without causing serious infection
Modern artificial limbs represent a tremendous leap forward in terms of form and function Today’s limbs are far more durable and can withstand a lot more wear and tear An amazing example of how far artificial limbs have progressed is the Flex-Foot Cheetah Made from carbon fiber, it is able to store energy as the person moves, which enables the wearer to run and jump The technology is so good that approximately 90 percent of all Special Olympic amputees use them in competition Meanwhile, the Bebionic3 has emerged as the most advanced prosthetic arm available It has been nicknamed “The Terminator” because it is similar to Arnold Schwarzenegger’s mechanical limbs in the famous blockbuster film The Bebionic3 can perform
Trang 6a multitude of tasks including writing, tying a shoelace, lifting heavy objects, and even pouring a
beer Wearers simply push a button on the base of the arm and the Bebionic3 will work its magic
In September 2013, scientists took another giant leap forward when they successfully fitted a patient with an artificial leg that can be controlled by thought Two of the patient’s nerves were attached to his hamstring muscle These nerves then interact with sensors inside the artificial leg Sensors will then transmit these messages to a computer which will follow through on his instructions Therefore, if the patient wants to stretch out his leg, the computer will understand
this command and send a message to the limb and instruct it to do so If artificial limb technology
keeps advancing like this, losing a limb may not be such a big deal
