三、阅读理解
NEW YORK—Gordon Parks, who captured the struggles and victories of black America as a photographer for Life magazine and then became Hollywood's first major black director with The Learning Tree and the hit Shaft, died at 93.
Parks, who also wrote fiction and was a gifted composer, died at his home in New York, according to a former wife and nephew Charles Parks.
"Nothing came easy," Parks wrote in his autobiography. "I was just born with a need to explore every aspect of my mind, and with long searching and hard work, I became devoted to my restlessness. "He covered everything from fashion to politics to sports at Life from 1948 to 1968.
But as a photographer, he was perhaps best known for his photo essays on the effects of poverty in the United States and abroad and on the spirit of the civil rights movement.
He went through a series of jobs as a teen and young man, including the piano player and the railroad dining car waiter. The breakthrough came when he was about 25, when he bought a used camera in a pawnshop(当铺) for $ 7.50. He became a freelance(自由职业的) fashion photographer, went on to Vogue magazine and then to Life in 1948.
"Reflecting now, I realize that, even within the limits of my childhood vision, I was on a search for pride, meanwhile taking a glimpse of how certain blacks, who suffered from racism, were against it," he wrote.
When he accepted an award from Wichita State University in May 1991, he said it was "another step forward in my making peace with Kansas and Kansas making peace with me".
