This is supposedly a true story. It happened in a small town of the province of Quebec, Canada, in October 2006. They showed the video surveillance（監(jiān)視）tape on the news, and even the anchorman（現(xiàn)場報道員）was laughing through it.

A robber came into a convenience store wearing a ski mask and a gun wanting to empty the cash register. He took the clerk to the back store and locked her up in the fridge. Unfortunately, when he came back to the front of the store, a customer had come in. So he took off the ski mask and the gloves, and pretended to be filling in for the clerk. The customer wanted a lottery ticket, so he tried to help her out, by pressing a whole bunch of buttons on the machine （thus leaving fingerprints everywhere）, but the machine was not cooperating.

At the same time, another customer walks in. Finally, he tells the first customer（after about 5 minutes of close – up shots from the camera）that the machine is not working and that he won’t be able to help her. The robber makes the sale to the second customer and he leaves as well.

The robber then puts back on his gloves to take the money（after touching just about everything in sight without gloves）, and hides his face with the palm of his hands as he is leaving. This scene lasted well over 10 minutes, during which, you see and hear the robber as well as in a movie.

The day after excerpts（節(jié)選）of the tape were aired, the phones at the police station were ringing off the hook, Apparently, even though no reward had been offered, people thought he was too stupid to deserve anything else!

He had to turn himself in that same day.

 Taiwan-born American director Ang Lee's win of his second directing Oscar has sparked complex feelings among Chinese audiences, who expressed their pride due to the director's Chinese roots, but couldn't help but reflect on why the Chinese mainland has failed to deliver more outstanding films to the world .

   Lee, 58, on Sunday accepted the Academy Award for best director for Life of Pi, a 3D adventure-drama film. Lee had won the top directing award in 2006 for Brokeback Mountain and the best foreign language film Oscar in 2001 for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

   Lee came to Hollywood's attention after directing three Chinese-language films in the early 1990s, with an emphasis on the interactions between modernity and Chinese traditions. Some Web users called Lee "a source of pride for Chinese people," and admired him for bearing the torch of Chinese culture.

   However, a large number of audience members and critics from the mainland expressed their frustrations over home-made movies: Mainland filmmakers have made numerous ambitious tries for the prestigious award but never won.

   Hao Jie, a young director whose 2010 film Single Man won the Special Jury Prize in the Tokyo Filmex Festival but was never screened in the mainland for it showed complex sex lives in a village.

  "Due to the censorship(審查), we are prevented from the beginning of our production, which forbids our works from mirroring realities," Hao said.

   While acknowledging the system's role in undermining(削弱) excellent works, Su Mu, a well-known film critic, argued that the atmosphere in the mainland's film circle is also to blame. "Lee produces his works with his heart, but most mainland directors now only have money in mind."

   Though having obtained approval for his second film from the film authority, Hao said cinemas have kept delaying the screening of his work. "This is another factor that prevents us from progressing. Cinemas won't risk showing our film, which features no stars and is considered non-mainstream," complained Hao.

1.What does the underlined phrase “the prestigious award” refer to?

A. the Best Director of Oscar

B. any of the Oscar Awards

C. the Special Jury Prize

D. the best foreign language film Oscar

2.Which of the following statements is true? 

A. Ang Lee’s films are always focusing on Chinese traditions.

B. Chinese audiences are proud of their Chinese identity in the films.

C. Ang Lee has won the world’s favor only by means of his three Oscars.

D. Ang Lee is famous for his combining modernity and Chinese traditions.

3.Which of the following is NOT the factor that prevents Chinese mainland films’ progressing?

A. Strict censorship.

B. A lack of wonderful directors.

C. The bad atmosphere in the film circle.

C. Bitter-sweet Feeling over Ang Lee’s Oscar Win

D. What Can Chinese Films Do for the Oscar Awards
