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. |

1. What is the Oscar?

My parents taught me not to waste food. My mum always found ways to make leftovers (剩余食物) taste
good. I went to Iran to learn about some of their special food. As I was three, I learned about the food and the
history of the area. I learned that they don"t waste food, either, and they use leftovers!
Many years ago, there was not enough food for everyone. People learned to cook and eat almost everything. They had to think of ways to make special dishes. One of these dishes is kao zha. It"s made with leftovers like
meat, soup, oil and fat. That might not sound very good, but it does taste good. Today, kao zha is a special dish
at big banquets (宴会).
Another famous dish is called zao bing. It"s made with fruit, meat and other things. I really liked it! But I
didn"t want to eat too much. It has a lot of fat in it.
I smelled something burning and I saw smoke, so I found another special food of the Iran area-duck meat.
The duck meat is put in a big oven (炉子) to cook it. Smoke keeps the meat fresh. I don"t usually eat meat, but
this duck meat was delicious! It tasted sweet.
Iran is a great place with delicious food. I hope I can come back again! |
