Ⅳ.阅读简答
The new movie “Captain Phillips” is earning praise for its star, Tom Hanks. The young actor who plays
the lead pirate(海盗) in the film is also winning praise for his performance.
Barkhad Abdi is a SomaliAmerican who spent his early years in Somalia. He said he never dreamed he would act in a major Hollywood movie.
Barkhad Abdi's life changed because of a report he saw on a Minneapolis TV station. It said producers were looking for actors to play parts in a film about Richard Phillips. He was the captain of the American ship Maersk Alabama that was hijacked(劫持)by Somali pirates in April 2009.
He says his background in Somalia helped him win the part. “I was born in Somalia. I left Somalia when I was seven years old, and I witnessed the war. So I could relate to the pirates in a lot of ways, I know a lot of people who came from Somalia who lived with us in Minneapolis.”
Minneapolis is home to the largest Somali immigrant community in the United States. Thousands of Somalis have moved there over the past 20 years, fleeing war and poverty in their homeland.
The 28yearold Abdi suddenly found himself working with twotime Oscar winner Tom Hanks and a major Hollywood director, Paul Greengrass. He says both men helped him feel at ease on the movie set. “Tom Hanks is really a humble man, who helped me a lot. And Paul Greengrass gave me a valuable chance and trusted me. And so if ever I'd do anything wrong, he'd take me aside and help me get the scene better. So I'm really grateful about working with them.”
Barkhad Abdi says that before the movie came out, he received much criticism within the Somali community, saying the part he was playing could make Somalis look bad. But now, he says, those feelings are gone. The Somali community love to see the movie. “I receive all kinds of messages on Facebook and Twitter, complimenting me and telling me how proud they are of me,” he said.
1. What do you think of Barkhad Abdi's performance in the new movie “Captain Phillips” according to the passage? (No more than 3 words)
________________________________________________________________________
2. According to Barkhad Abdi, what helped him win the part in the movie? (No more than 5 words)
________________________________________________________________________
3. Why have thousands of Somalis moved to Minneapolis? (No more than 12 words)
________________________________________________________________________
4. How has the Somali community changed their attitude towards Barkhad Abdi after the movie came out? (No more than 15 words)
