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

  When the 76th Academy Awards were presented this morning in Los Angeles, US, 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 Hollywood 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(奖品)is the figure of a knight(骑士)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(昵称)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(暗杀)a few days earlier.Another assassination-a failed attempt on President Ronald Reagan-saw the Oscars delayed by 24 hours in 1981.

  BALTIMORE-When 15-year-old Michael Thomas left home for school last May, he couldn’t have been prouder.On his feet, thanks to his mother’s hard work, were a pair of new Air Jordans-$100 worth of leather, rubber and status(身份)that to today’s youth are the Mercedes-Benz of athletic footwear.The next day it was James David Martin, 17,who was walking down the street in Thomas’ new sneakers, while Thomas lay dead in a field not far from his school.

  Martin was arrested(逮捕)for murder.

  For the Baltimore school system, Thomas’ death was the last straw.He was the third youngster to have been killed over his clothes in five years.Dozens of others had been robbed of brand-new sneakers, fashionable jogging suits, leather jackets and jewelry.

  This fall, the school board announced a dress code preventing leather shirts and jackets, jogging suits, gold chains and other expensive items.Joseph Smith, Board President, said, “Clothes have just gotten out of control”.Across the nation, parents, school officials, psychologists and even some children agree.They say that today’s youngsters, throughout the nation, have become clothes concerned(关心).They worry about them, compete over them, pay no attention to school for them and sometimes even rob and kill for them.

  In many cases, students are so concerned about what they and their classmates are wearing, they forget what they come to school for, educators said.In response, many public schools, mainly in eastern cities, have used school uniforms to cut down on competition.Educators say, in the present fashion climate, dressing students alike allows them more freedom to be normal individuals.

Like many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship. At some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask: What is a hero?

  Despite immense differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics that instruct and inspire people.

  A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure to tell and a community who will listen. But a hero goes beyond mere fame.

  Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high-voltage(电压) transformers, heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.

  The hero lives a life worthy of imitation. Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm, and meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom do they serve? What are they willing to live and die for? If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes. Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claim that their fans find life more abundant?

  Heroes are catalysts (催化剂) for change. They have a vision from the mountaintop. They have the skill and the charm to move the masses. They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr., we might still have segregated(隔离的) buses, restaurants, and parks. It may be possible for large-scale change to occur without leaders with magnetic personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain, and the committee meetings endless.

1. Although heroes may come from different cultures, they _______.

  A. generally possess certain inspiring characteristics

  B. probably share some weaknesses of ordinary people

  C. are often influenced by previous generations

  D. all unknowingly attract a large number of fans

2. According to the passage, heroes are compared to high-voltage transformers in that ____.

  A. they have a vision from the mountaintop

  B. they have warm feelings and emotions

  C. they can serve as concrete(具体的) examples of noble principles

  D. they can make people feel stronger and more confident

3. Madonna and Michael Jackson are not considered heroes because ________.

  A. they are popular only among certain groups of people

  B. their performances do not improve their fans morally

  C. their primary concern is their own financial interests

  D. they are not clear about the principles they should follow

4. Gandhi and Martin Luther King are typical examples of outstanding leaders who ___.

  A. are good at demonstrating their charming characters

  B. can move the masses with the skill and the charm

  C. are capable of meeting all challenges and hardships

  D. can provide an answer to the problems of their people

5. The author concludes that historical changes would ______.

  A. be delayed without leaders with inspiring personal qualities

  B. not happen without heroes making the necessary sacrifices

  C. take place if there were heroes to lead the people

  D. produce leaders with attractive personalities
