    　　“There's no other way to describe it, it's the moment of a lifetime,”said Bigelow at the awards ceremony in Los Angeles on Sunday．She has become the first female ever to win a Best Director Oscar．

    　　Bigelow was up against the top-selling film of all time, Avatar．But Bigelow's smallbudget film, The Hurt Locker, swept the awards with six trophies(奖杯), including Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Sound Mixing and the big one：Best Picture．

    　　Many Hollywood insiders are calling this year's awards the“Indie Oscars”, with smaller films taking the other top awards．This was due in large part to outstanding individual performances：Jeff Bridges in Crazy Heart(Best Actor)and Sandra Bullock in The Blind Side(Best Actress)．But all eyes were on Bigelow, as her movie The Hurt Locker beat Avatar to the major awards．This was sweetened by the fact Avatar's director, James Cameron, is her ex-husband．

    　　Bigelow was only the fourth female ever to be nominated(提名)for Best Director．She followed in the footsteps of Lina Wurtmuller, for Seven Beauties(1976); Jane Campion, The Piano(1993);and Sophia Coppola, Lost in Translation(2003)．

    　　Bigelow played down the important occasion last week, telling CBS,“There's really no difference between what I do and what a male filmmaker might do．I mean we all try to make our days, we all try to give the best performances we can, we try to make our budget, we try to make the best movie we possibly can．So in that sense it's very similar．On the other hand, I think the journey for women, no matter what field it is－politics, business, film －it's a long journey．”

    　　Ironically Bigelow's filmography is filled with action movies that are low on female leads and high on guns and steel．Her films such as Point Break and The Hurt Locker focus on the fears of men．

    　　And is there an entertaining end to the story of Bigelow's victory?She won on International Women's Day．

    　　It is, after all, Hollywood．

    (1)

    Of all the awards mentioned in Paragraph 2, the most important one is ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    Best Picture

    B．

    Best Sound Mixing

    C．

    Best Director

    D．

    [　　]

    A．

    four people have been nominated for Best Director

    B．

    The Hurt Locker cost a large sum of money

    C．

    only big films such as Avatar can take top awards

    D．

    Sophia Coppola was a woman director

    (3)

    What Bigelow said in Paragraph 5 indicates that women ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    can't compete with men in any field

    C．

        Do you ever have days when everything seems to go wrong? Sarah Rosenbaum does. In fact, last week nothing seemed to go right for her at all…

    　　

        On Monday her mom and dad were out, so Sarah decided to have a TV dinner. She wanted to switch the oven off at 7: 30 but she was practicing the cello, and it wasn't until 8 o'clock that she suddenly realized: she had forgotten her TV dinner ! She rushed into the kitchen, but it was too late- everything was black.

    　　

        On Tuesday she offered to clean up the apartment for her parents. After she had vacuumed the carpets, she threw away a pile of old newspapers and computer magazines. The next day, dad asked where they were. He wanted to cut our an article he had seen in one of the computer magazines, and he was furious when he found out that Sarah had thrown them away. On Wednesday she took Foxy for a walk in the park and lost him. She looked for him everywhere, but he had disappeared. The stupid dog came back later, but that was after Mrs Rosenbaum had telephoned nearly everybody in the neighborhood.

    　　

        Thursday went all right until the evening. Sarah put the dirty things in the dish-washer and switched it on, but when she emptied it later, two of the glasses she had put in were broken. Her mom wasn't very pleased because she always washed the good glasses by hand.

    　　

        Now it was Friday, and Sarah wanted to go the hamburger drive-in with Nacy, Bob and Mike that evening. But she had already spent her pocket money.
