They will be Slumdogs no more．The two kid actors who broke our hearts in the Academy Award—winning “Slumdog Millionaire” are being moved out of their miserable Mumbai slum（贫民区） into real homes with roofs and doors and walls．
Rubina Ali and Azharuddin Ismail，who played the young Versions of the two main characters，won’t have to pay anything—their new digs are free．“These two children have brought honors to the country，” said Gautam Chatterjee．head of Mumbai’s housing authority．So for 10 -year-old Azharuddin，it’s goodbye to the simple tent by a busy road that was his family home．And for 9-year-old Rubina，it’s goodbye to the one room house she shared with her family．
Details（细节）about when the families will be moved—or if they will have things we take for granted like indoor plumbing（水暖管道）一were not known．Still，there was lots of joy in the actors’ households．“We ale happy that we will have a permanent roof over our heads．”said Rubina’s dad，Rafiq Qureshi，told The Times of India newspaper．
Casting agents discovered Rubina and Azharuddin in the terrible Garib Nagar slum．There was a worldwide outcry when it was discovered the kids were still living there even as the movie easily made$100 million．
Director Danny Boyle, who also won a best director Oscar, refused to admit exploiting the child actors. He said they were paid above local wages for 30 days of work, enrolled in school for the first time ever - and had a fund set up to pay for their tuition, health care and “basic living costs.”
Also, Fox Searchlight Pictures flew the kids and seven of the Indian children who appeared in the movie to Hollywood for the Oscar ceremony. Indian media reported the sudden generosity by Mumbai housing officials has more to do with politics than pride in the kids.
1．Judging from the article, it may be improper to think of Slumdog Millionaire as ______
A．successful B．profitable
C．moving D．amusing
2．Rubina.Ali and Azharuddin Ismail ______
A．are both professional actors
B．played different versions of the same character
C．have both been poor in real life
D．enjoyed life as millionaires in the film
3．How have the kids' families reacted to the offer of the housing authorities?
A．They are happy to accept it.
B．They're doubtful about it.
C．They'd rather remain where they live.
D．Only one family is willing to move.
4．What did Director Danny Boyle do to the two kids?
A．He let them live as famous stars.
B．He provided houses for their families.
C．He gave them all they deserved.
D．He gave them less than expected.
5．We can infer from the article that ______
A．decision on Academy Award winners involves racial discrimination
B．Indian media was trying to praise Mumbai's housing authority
C．the writer is afraid the kids' new houses won't be satisfactory
D．Rubina Ali and Azharuddin Ismail's families do not take pride in them
