(一)[2012·天津一中二月月考]For students in Singapore，movies are not just something for fun. They also help them speak and write better in English，according to a recent report in the Strait Times.Since March，Blangah Rise Primary in Singapore has tried to make language teaching fun by using movies. As part of their English language lessons，pupils watch shorten films. Teachers use the subtitles(字幕)function on the DVD players to turn the text on and off to help them practise catching better，listening and improving their writing skills.The school has found that children are more eager to learn and better able to answer questions on what they have seen and heard because they pay greater attention to the movie than the usual paper-based comprehension sheets. Teachers said they have seen vast progress in participation(参与) and understanding in classes. Before the DVD programme was introduced，almost every child would leave one to two questions in their comprehension exercises blank. Now，they not only attempt all questions but provide lengthy answers.In contrast，“Indians are yet to realise the need to make English teaching fun，”says Professor David Crystal recently. He is one of Britain’s and world’s foremost experts on language，and currently working in India. “The structured ways of teaching have ensured that English learning has remained at best an unexciting experience for most Indians，” he says. Crystal also suggests language play is another way in which English teaching and learning can be made an enjoyable as well as a rewarding experience. “Everyone plays with the language. I don’t know of a single person who does not，” says Crystal. “To have fun from language has always been a part of everyday conversation and should naturally be a pa rt of language learning and teaching”，according to him.1．What does the underlined word “They” refer to？(No more than 3 words)________________________________________________________________________ 2．Why do children pay greater attention to the movie than the usual paper-based comprehension sheets？(No more than 10 words)________________________________________________________________________ 3．Where is Professor David Crystal still engaged in his recent study?
