　　Mo Yan, a well-known Chinese writer, won the Nobel Prize for literature(文学)in 2012．He was also the first Chinese writer who got this prize in history．When he was interviewed, he said he was only a normal person who could tell stories．He especially thanked his mother．He thought his mother had a strong influence on him．

　　Mo Yan was born in a poor family in China's rural area．When he was young, he was a little bit shy because he thought he wasn't good-looking．His classmates often played jokes on his look．That made him very upset．His mother encouraged him to face the fact bravely．She told him not to look down on(看不起)himself．She said it didn't matter if a person didn't have a good look and it was important to work hard and never give up．She hoped that his son would be a useful person in society．

　　Mo Yan didn't let her mother down．He worked hard at writing．He wrote many famous novels, such as Hong Gao Liang(《红高粱》)and Wa(《娃》)．His success tells us a truth,“Nobody can beat you unless you beat yourself．”Hold on to your dream and your dream will come true in the end．

　　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 Kodar 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．
