(A) 根据短文内容，按要求答题。（共5小题，每小题2分，计10分）

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.

One possible version:

Dear Sigmund Friend,

My name is Liu Hong. I’m a Grade 9 student in No. 2 Middle School. My star sign is Gemini. And blue and yellow are my favourite colours. But I have a big problem and I want to know how to deal with it.

My parents are very strict with me. They hardly give me some free time to play. I really hate this. I love to chat online, so I spend lots of time on the Internet after school. I also like to stay up late outside. Sometimes I don’t hand in my homework on time. Now my study is getting worse and worse. My parents and teachers are very angry with me. They want me to stop chatting online. Should I give up my only hobby? I’m very stressed.

Can you give me some useful advice? I hope to hear from you soon.

Best wishes!

Yours,

Liu Hong
