     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 nick name 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 awards. 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 have 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.

    薛居正字子平,开封浚仪人。父仁谦,周太子宾客。居正少好学,有大志。清泰初,举进士不第,为《遣愁文》以自解,寓意倜傥,识者以为有公辅之量。逾年,登第。汉乾祐初史弘肇领侍卫亲军威权震主残忍自恣无敢忤其意者其部下吏告民犯盐禁法当死狱将决,居正疑其不实,召诘之,乃吏与民有私憾,因诬之,逮吏鞫之,具伏抵法。弘肇虽怒甚,亦无以屈。周广顺初,迁比部员外郎,领三司推官,旋知制诰。周祖征兖州,诏居正从行,以劳加都官郎中。显德六年,使沧州定民租。未几,以材干闻于朝,擢刑部侍郎。宋初,迁户部侍郎。建隆三年,入为枢密直学士,权知贡举。初平湖湘,以居正知朗州。会亡卒数千人聚山泽为盗,监军使疑城中僧千余人皆其党,议欲尽捕诛之。居正以计缓其事,因率众翦灭群寇,擒贼帅汪端,诘之,僧皆不预,赖以全活。乾德初,加兵部侍郎。车驾将亲征太原,大发民馈运。时河南府饥,逃亡者四万家,上忧之,命居正驰传招集,浃旬间民尽复业。开宝八年二月,上谓居正等曰:“年谷方登,庶物丰盛,若非上天垂佑,何以及斯。所宜共思济物,或有阙政,当与振举,以成朕志。”居正等益修政事,以副上意焉。太平兴国六年,因服丹砂遇毒,方奏事,觉疾作,遽出。至殿门外,饮水升余,堂吏掖归中书,已不能言,但指庑间储水器。左右取水至,不能饮,舆归私第卒,年七十。居正气魄瑰伟,饮酒至数斗不乱。性孝行纯,居家俭约。为相任宽简,不好苛察,士君子以此多之。自参政至为相,凡十八年,恩遇始终不替。
