Question

Reading comprehension.

    One of the most famous movie prizes in the world is the Oscar. Every year in the United States the
Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science (电影艺术科学院) gives Oscars to people who have done
well in the movies. There is an Oscar for the best movie of the year another for the best actor and Oscars
for doing many other things well in movies.
    Oscars are very important because people want to see movies that have won them. They also want to
see actors who have won Oscars. This means movies that have won Oscars make a lot of money. The
Academy first gave prizes to movies in 1927 but they were not called Oscars then. That happened four
years later. Most people think that Oscar was someone famous in the movies but he wasn't. He was
someone that a woman called Margaret Herrick knew. She worked for the Academy and one day she saw
the prize on a table. She said "He looked like my friend Oscar." From that time on the prizes were called
the Oscars.
