My husband and l were talking about possible colours because it was time for painting the kitchen again. The children, sat nearby and suddenly shouted, "Not the measuring(测量)stick!”

    The measuring stick isn't a real stick but the kitchen side of the door between our kitchen and the dining room. Along the edge we have    each child's growth by making a mark showing his or her     on every birthday. Over the ten years so many     pens, pencils and markers were used that the door came to be    like a painting.

    Names and dates    different hand-writing, and I can    by the script(手迹)who measured whom. An eight-year-old brother measured his three-year-old sister, a grandchild measured her grandmother, my husband measured me. At parties, when this door swings, friends stop to      the names and dates. When we ask if they would like to leave their marks, they usually had a smile.

    Many of these listed on the door are still     While some have stopped. Some is still with us only in memory. When my mother came to see our eldest daughter graduating from university, we measured her, too. It was her last visit to our home.

    We haven't decided on the new kitchen colour plan yet, but one thing is    :Whether we paint the trim curry gold, Chowning's Tavern red or Federal blue, the back of the kitchen door will be always      with lots of names and dates in different colors.

Ang Lee won the Best Director Oscar for his adventure film Life of Pi at the 85th Academy Awards in Hollywood, California February 24, 2013.

  Life of Pi shows a young Indian named Pi, who finds the world he knows swept away when his family sells their zoo and sets sail for Canada with a few animals. Only Pi escapes from the storm and floats in a lifeboat with a giant Bengal tiger.

  “I really want to thank you for believing this story and sharing this unbelievablejourney with me,” Lee said in his speech. The film also won three other Oscars, for best original music, best cinematography(电影艺术) and best visual(视觉) effects.

He is the only person of Asian to win the directing award and one of the rare people who won that award more than once.

In an after-ceremony interview, Lee said he believed Asian films would come to the main stage of the world sooner or later. "I was born in Asia and grew up with Chinese education. It is natural for me to put Asian thinking into Western things." The film, which cost 120 million U.S. dollars, has earned nearly 600 million dollars worldwide. Lee said most of the earnings came from outside China. Lee said he felt warm that he won the award on the day of the Lantern Festival, a Chinese traditional festival on which families get together to solve puzzles on lanterns and eat Tang Yuan.
