“Family” is of course an elastic word. But when British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of “family” in its narrow, peculiarly European sense of mother, father and children living together alone in their own house as an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent family—hence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life. For both the man and the woman, marriage means leaving one??s parents and starting one??s own life. The man??s first duty will then be to his wife, and the wife??s to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her financial support, and she for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibility and theirs alone. Neither the wife??s parents nor the husband??s, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles, have any right to interfere with them—they are their own masters.?

Readers of novels like Jane Austen??s Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times marriage among wealthy families were arranged by the girl??s parents, that is, it was the parents?? duty to find a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragement to lead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her. Until that time, the girl was protected and maintained in the parents?? home, and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry. It is very different today. Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before their marriage. This has had two results. A girl chooses her own husband, and she gets no dowry.

"There's no other way to describe it, it's the moment of a lifetime," said Bigelow at the awards ceremony in Los Angeles on Sunday．She has become the first female ever to win a Best Director Oscar．

Bigelow was up against the top-selling film of all time, Avatar．But Bigelow's smallbudget film, The Hurt Locker, swept the awards with six trophies （奖杯） , including Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Sound Mixing and the big one: Best Picture．

Many Hollywood insiders are calling this year’s awards the "Indie Oscars", with smaller films taking the other top awards．This was due in large part to outstanding individual performances: Jeff Bridges in Crazy Heart （Best Actor） and Sandra Bullock in The Blind Side （Best Actress）．But all eyes were on Bigelow, as her movie The Hurt Locker beat Avatar to the major awards．This was sweetened by the fact Avatar's director, James Cameron, is her ex-husband．

Bigelow was only the fourth female ever to be nominated （提名） for Best Director．She followed in the footsteps of Lina Wurtmuller, for Seven Beauties （1976）; Jane Campion, The Piano （1993）;and Sophia Coppola, Lost in Translation （2003）．

Bigelow played down the important occasion last week, telling CBS, "There's really no difference between what I do and what a male filmmaker might do．I mean we all try to make our days, we all try to give the best performances we can, we try to make our budget, we try to make the best movie we possibly can．So in that sense it's very similar．On the other hand, I think the journey for women, no matter what field it is—politics, business, film —it's a long journey．"

Ironically Bigelow's filmography is filled with action movies that are low on female leads and high on guns and steel．Her films such as Point Break and The Hurt Locker focus on the fears of men．

And is there an entertaining end to the story of Bigelow's victory? She won on International Women's Day．

It is, after all, Hollywood．

64．Of all the awards mentioned in Paragraph 2, the most important one is .

A．Best Picture B．Best Sound Mixing

C．Best Director D．Best Original Screenplay

65．We may learn from the passage that _____．

B．The Hurt Locker cost a large sum of money

C．only big films such as Avatar can take top awards

D．Sophia Coppola was a woman director

66．What Bigelow said in Paragraph 5 indicates that women _____．

A．can't compete with men in any field

B．have to make greater efforts in whatever field

C．are weaker than men in the film industry

D．don't have to make a long journey until their careers take off

67．What would be the best title for the passage?
