“The pen is more powerful than the sword(剑).” There have been many writers who used their pens to fight things that were wrong. Mrs Harriet Beecher Stowe was one of them. She was born in the U.S.A. in 1811.One of her books not only made her famous but has been described as one that excited the world, and was helpful in causing a civil war and freeing the enslaved race. The civil war was the American Civil War of 1861,in which the Northern States fought the Southern States and finally won.

This book that shook the world was called Uncle Tom’s Cabin. There was a time when every English-speaking man, woman, and child has read this novel that did so much to stop slavery. Not many people read it today, but it is still very interesting. The book has shown us how a warm-hearted writer can arouse(唤起) people’s sympathies. The author herself had neither been to the Southern States nor been a slave. The Southern Americans were very angry at the book, which they said did not at all represent true state of affairs, but the Northern Americans were wildly excited over it and were so inspired by it that they were ready to go to war to set the slaves free.

  It’s only 34 centimetres tall but, as the highest honour in the world of cinema, an Oscar is worth its weight in gold.

  Just saying its name draws up images of red carpets, bubbling champagne(冒泡的香槟), beautiful stars and, most importantly of all, success.

  When the 76th Academy Awards were presented this morning in Los Angeles, US, the winners became headline news across the world just as the first Academy Awards.Organized by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the first Academy Awards ceremony took place at a Hollywood hotel on May 16, 1929.All the guests knew who had won in advance; the present system of keeping it a secret until the envelope is opened was introduced in 1941.

  The trophy(奖品)is the figure of a knight(骑士)holding a sword.The first awards were solid bronze but a metal shortage during World War Ⅱ meant the trophies were made of plaster(石膏)for a while.Nowadays, the figures are made of metal and given an outer coating of gold.

  Officially known as the Academy Award of Merit, it isn’t clear where the nickname(昵称)Oscar came from.One popular explanation is that an Academy librarian said it looked like her uncle Oscar and the name just stuck.

  The timing of the ceremony has only been disturbed on three occasions.The first was in 1938 when serious floods in Los Angeles delayed the awards by one week.Then in 1968 the ceremony was moved from April 8 to April 10 out of respect for Dr.Martin Luther King, who had been assassinated(暗杀)a few days earlier.Another assassination-a failed attempt on President Ronald Reagan-saw the Oscars delayed by 24 hours in 1981.
