It’s only 34 centimeters tall but, as the highest honor 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(冒泡的香檳), beautiful stars and, most importantly of all, success.

When the 76th Academy Awards were presented this morning in Los Angeles U. S. , 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 Holly-wood 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(獎品) is the figure of a knight(騎士) 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(昵稱) 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 (暗殺) a few days earlier. Another assassination—a failed attempt on President Ronald Reagan—saw the Oscars delayed by 24 hours in 1981.

1. When an actor/actress wins a reward of Oscar, he /she__________.

A. can receive a trophy made of pure gold

B. will receive many rewards

C. values the recognition of performance

D. knows it before the Awards ceremony takes place

2. The first Academy Awards ceremony took place on May 16, 1929, __________.

A. which many actors/actresses showed no interest in them

B. which was a shock to the world

C. which had all the well-known performers throughout the world

D. where each of the winners were given a sword

3. The Trophies were once made of plaster to__________.

A. cut costs

B. make them easy to keep

C. solve the problem of metal shortage

D. attract people’s attention

4. The latest delay of the ceremony was due to __________.

A. serious floods

B. the murder of Martin Luther King

C . a failed assassination on Ronald Reagan

D. some unknown reasons

5. When writing the passage, the author__________.

A. is dreaming of being a winner of Oscar

B. is trying to tell people more about the stories about Oscar

C. has found out how Oscar got its name

D. is not interested in the ceremony of Oscar
