     AMPAS, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences(美国电 影艺术和科学学院), presents the 
Oscars each year. About 6 000 people who work in the movie industry belong to the organization. It was 
established in 1927 to support the film industry. The Academy began presenting awards(颁发奖项)in 1929. 
At that time, films were just starting to have sound.
    The awards were not called Oscar until much later. In 1951, a  woman who worked in the Academy library 
said the statue (塑像) looked like a family member - her uncle Oscar. A reporter heard of this story and wrote 
about it. Some people said the reporter and the librarian named the statue Oscar.        
    Each year, the American film industry will honor some of its best.  The steps of choosing award winners 
begin with members of AMPAS. These people work in 13 different professions. The members choose among 
people doing the same kind of work they do as candidates (候选人) for Academy Awards.  All Academy 
members choose the final winners among those candidates.      
   The awards are presented every spring. Important people in the movie industry,such as famous actors and 
actresses, attend the ceremonies (仪式).  Crowds of people wait outside the theater to watch the famous 
movie stars as they arrive for the ceremony. Camera lights flash.  Actors and actresses smile for the 
photographers and television cameras.      
    During the ceremony, famous actors and actresses announce the names of the winners. Then the winners 
walk up onto the stage to receive their Oscars. Their big moment has arrived. They cry. They laugh. They 
thank all the people who helped them win the award. These winners will go home with a golden Oscar.
1. Did the Academy begin presenting awards in 1927? 
    __________________________________________

These days, many Chinese people are happy about a piece of news. What is it? China may become the second largest economy (经济体) in the world. It’s only behind the US.
But is China the second richest country, too?
No. The economy is like a cake. The US, Japan and China each makes one. China makes the second biggest cake. But lots of people have to eat it. Why? There are 1.3 billion people in China. And there are only 300 million people in the US and 127 million in Japan. So, in China, each person only gets a very, very small piece of cake. But people in the US and Japan have bigger pieces.
China is not as rich as the US and Japan. For example, in the US, in every 100 people, 75 can surf the Internet; in Japan it is 74 in 100. But in China, only 26 people in 100 use the Internet.
China’s large economy brings good things. People in China have more jobs and money. We also have more influence (影响) in the world.
【小题1】China is the second largest economy in the world, isn’t it?
                                                     
【小题2】Why isn’t China as rich as the US and Japan?
