       Do you know what Oscar is? When did it start? Maybe you can find the background of the awards in
the following passage.
       The awards started in 1929. Their full title is "The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences
Awards". The Academy is a group of people who have worked in the film industry for many years. They
decide who will receive the awards. The awards are often referred to as the "Oscar". This is a nickname
given to the awards by a lady called Margaret Herrick. She was once the director of the Academy and she
once said that the little gold statue reminded her of her uncle Oscar!
        The Oscar is always an exciting event. Each year, at least one unusual thing happens. When the Italian
actor and director Roberto Benigni won an Oscar for best foreign film, he danced on stage! When Gwyneth
Paltrow, the star of Shakespeare in Love won the Oscar for best actress, she could not make her acceptance
speech because she was crying so much with happiness!
         In 1987, Roberto Benigni won the award for best director for a film about the last emperor of China.
Since then, Chinese film and actors have started to make an impact at the award. Crouching Tiger, Hidden
Dragon was a huge success and it won the award for best foreign language film in 2001. It also won several
technical awards for its amazing "flying" people. We expect to see more awards for Chinese film in the near
future.
        It's time for the Oscar again. Once more, the stars will dress up in their finest and go to Kodak Theater.
There, they will find out who had won the awards for best actor, best actress and best director. Millions of
people watch the awards every year to find out who the winners are. Some people watch it to see the stars
crying and laughing as they receive their awards.

　　Laws(法律)for children are good things. One hundred years ago in some countries, children worked eighteen hours a day in a factory at age seven. The factory owner could beat a child who fell asleep or was not fast enough. Both parents and teachers could do the same.

　　Today, there are many laws about children all over the world. Some people think if children do something wrong, they should be punished(惩罚). Other people do not agree. The Inuits or Eskimos in Alaska almost never punish their children. The parents do not beat them. If the children go too far, their parents will punish their children by making fun of(取笑)them.

　　Children in other parts of the world are not as lucky as Eskimo children. American parents can beat their children at home, but a teacher can’t beat a child in school. This is also true in Germany. Instead, in Sweden it is against the law for anyone to beat a child. Swedish parents can’t beat their children. The children also have a government official(政府官员)who works for their rights(权力). There is even a plan(计划)for children to leave their parents, though this is not a law yet!
