It was so bad that whenever I stood up in class to read, the other kids snickered and laughed. I always sat down, my face burning with shame. 2021/6/1631Para. 4n n I’m not sure what caused my stuttering. Perhaps it was an emotional problem. I was born in Arkabutla, Mississippi, and when I was about five, I moved to live with my grandparents on their farm near Dublin in northern Michigan.

All through my grade school years, the only way the teacher could assess my progress was for me to write down everything I had learned. 2021/6/1634Para. 7n n Oh, I could talk, all right. Our farm animals knew that. I found it easy to call the pigs, tell the dogs to round up the cows, and vent my feelings to Fanny, the horse whose big brown eyes and lifted ears seemed to express interest in all I said. But when visitors came and I was asked to say hello, I could only stand, pound my feet, and grit my teeth. That awful feeling of my voice being trapped got worse as I grew older. 2021/6/1635Para. 8n n Then when I was 14, Professor Donald Crouch came to our school. He was a retired college professor who had settled in nearby Brethren, a Mennonite community.

So he left his retreat to teach us English, history and Latin. 2021/6/1636Para. 9n n Donald Crouch was a tall, lean man with gray hair; English was his favorite subject, poetry was his deepest love. He’s been an associate of Robert Frost. He held a book of poems as if it were a diamond necklace, turning pages as if uncovering treasures.

There was, however, one difficulty between us. Professor Crouch (we always called him that) could not stand the fact I refused to read my poems to the class. 2021/6/1638Para. 11-12n n “Jim, poetry is meant to be read aloud, just like sermons,” he pressed. “You should be able to speak those beautiful words.”n n I shook my head and turned away. 2021/6/1639Para. 13-15n n Then he tricked me.

I stood amazed and floated back to I stood amazed and floated back to my desk in a daze, amid wild applausemy desk in a daze, amid wild applause. . 2021/6/1641Para. 19-20n n Afterward, Professor Crouch congratulated me. “Aha,” he said. “Now we have something here. Not only will you have to write more poetry and read it aloud to know how good it feels, but I’m sure that you will want to read other writers’ poetry before the class.”n n I was dubious about that, but said I’d try. 2021/6/1642Para. 21n n Soon I began to discover something other stutterers know. Most have no problem singing because the lyrics’ rhythmic pattern flows by itself. I found the same cadences in poetry, and before long my fellow students actually looked forward to hearing me recite. I loved the rolling beat of The Song of Hiawatha, especially since I had Indian blood in my veins. 2021/6/1643Para. 22n n I discovered I did have a voice, a strong one. Under Professor Crouch’s tutelage, I entered oratorical contests and debates. He never pushed anything at me again; he just wanted all his students to wake up. 2021/6/1644Para. 23n n As my stuttering disappeared, I began dreaming of becoming an actor, like my father, who was then performing in New York City. No one in my family had ever gone to college. But encouraged by Professor Crouch, I took exams and won a scholarship to the University of Michigan. 2021/6/1645Para. 24n n There I entered the drama department and after graduation fulfilled my ROTC responsibility by serving with the Army’s Cold Weather Training Command on mountain maneuvers in Colorado. n n 2021/6/1646Para. 25n n Later, on the GI Bill, I signed up with the American Theater Wing in New York and supported myself between roles by sweeping floors of offBroadway states. In 1962 I earned an Obie for my role in an offBroadway production of Othello, and have been an actor ever since. 2021/6/1647Para. 26 Meanwhile, I always kept in touch with my old professor, by letter and telephone. Every time we talked it was always “Hi, Jim. Read any good poetry lately?” He was losing his sight and I remembered his early explanation of why he had memorized poetry. In later years when I was doing Shakespeare’s Timon of Athens at the Yale Repertory Theater in New Haven, Connecticut I phoned him. “Can I fly you in from Michigan to see it?” 2021/6/1648Para. 27-28 “Jim,” he sighed, “I’m blind now. I’d hate not to be able to see you acting. It would hurt too much.” “I understand, Professor,” I said, helped in part by the realization that though my mentor could no longer see, he was still living in a world vibrant with all of the beautiful treasures he had stored. 2021/6/1649Para. 29 About two years later I learned Donald Crouch had passed on. When I was asked to record the New Testament. I really did it for a tall, lean man with gray hair who had not only helped to guide me to the author of the Scriptures, but as the father of my resurrected voice, had also helped me find abundant life. 2021/6/1650Language points of Text Ⅰ( 1 )n ntrilogy:a series of three books, plays, operas, etc. that have the same subject or the same character, but are each complete works in themselves n nTri::“三”:triangle; trisect n nBi bilingual; bilateral; n nMono monorail; monogamy; monopolye.g. Ba Jin, a wellknown Chinese writer, is famous for his trilogy: Family, Spring and Autumn. 2021/6/1651n nthe voiceover announcer: an announcer who makes a commentary or gives an explanation which is heard as part of a film or television program, but he himself is not actually seen Language points of Text Ⅰ( 2 )2021/6/1652Language points of Text Ⅰ n nyoungsteryoungster n n1. 1. n a young person; child or youth n a young person; child or youth n n2. 2. n a young animal, esp a horse n a young animal, esp a horse n nstutterstutter v./n. to speak with difficulty because you cannot stop v./n. to speak with difficulty because you cannot stop yourself from repeating the first consonant of some words. yourself from repeating the first consonant of some words. stammer: To speak with pauses and repeated sounds because of stammer: To speak with pauses and repeated sounds because of excitement, embarrassmentexcitement, embarrassment. . stutter: To speak with pauses and repeated sounds because of stutter: To speak with pauses and repeated sounds because of inherent speech defectinherent speech defect. . n nWhenever he was angry he would begin to stammer slightly.Whenever he was angry he would begin to stammer slightly.n n Ben stammered out an apology.
