Houses in
the Future
Well, I think
houses in the future will probably be (1)
quite small but I should think they'll
be (2) well-insulated so
that you don't
need so much (3) heating and (4) cooling as you
do now, so perhaps very economical (5)
to run. Perhaps they
will use (6) solar
heating, although I don't know, in this
country, perhaps we (7) won't be able
to do that so much. Yes,
I think
they'll be full of (8) electronic gadgets: things
like
very advanced televisions, videos,
perhaps videos which take
up ... the
screen (9) takes up the whole wall. I should
think.
Yes, you'll have things like
(10) garage doors which open
automatically when you (11) drive up,
perhaps electronic (12)
sensors which
will (13) recognize you when you, when you come
to the front door even. Perhaps (14)
architects and designers
will be a bit
more (15) imaginative about how houses are
designed and perhaps with the (16)
shortage of space people
will think of
putting gardens (17) on the roof and, and maybe
rooms can be (18) expanded and, and
(19) contracted* depending
on what you use them for, so perhaps
there'll be a bit more (20)
flexibility
about that.

The Oscar
Statuette
1 Industry
insiders and members of the press called the award
merit
2. No hard evidence exists to support
that tale, but in any
case, by the
sixth Awards Presentation in 1934, a Hollywood
columnist used the name in his column.
3.
Walt Disney was honored with one full-size and
seven
miniature statuettes on behalf of
his animated feature Snow
White and the
Seven Dwarfs.
4. If the
statuettes don't meet strict quality control
standards, they are immediately cut in
half and melted down.
large boxes are shipped to the Academy offices via
air
express, with no identifiable
markings.
The Oscar
statuette, designed by MGM's* chief art director
Cedric Gibbons, depicts* a knight
holding a crusader's* sword,
standing
on a reel of film with five spokes, signifying the
original branches of the Academy:
Actors, Writers, Directors,
Producers,
and Technicians.
Born in
1928, years would pass before the Academy Award of
Merit was officially named
members of the press called the award

man
A popular story has been
that an Academy librarian and eventual
executive director, Margaret Herrick,
thought the statuette
resembled her
uncle Oscar and said so, and that as a result the
Academy staff began referring to it as
Oscar.
No hard evidence exists to support that
tale, but in any
case, by the sixth
Awards Presentation in 1934, Hollywood
columnist Sidney Skolsky used the name
in his column in
reference to Katharine
Hepburn's first Best Actress win. The
Academy itself didn't use the nickname
officially until 1939.
Since its conception, the Oscar
statuette has met exacting
uniform
standards - with a few notable exceptions.
In
the 1930s,
juvenile players received miniature
replicas* of the statuette;
a
ventriloquist* Edgar Bergen was presented with a
wooden
statuette with a moveable mouth;
and Walt Disney was honored
with one
full-size and seven miniature statuettes on behalf
of
his animated feature Snow White and
the Seven Dwarfs. Between
1942 and
1944, in support of the war effort, Oscars were
made
of plaster. After the War, winners
turned in the temporary
awards for
golden Oscar statuettes.
The traditional Oscar statuette,
however, hasn't changed
since the
1940s, when the base was made higher. In 1945, the
base was changed from marble to metal
and in 1949, Academy
Award statuettes
began to be numbered, starting with No. 501.
Approximately 50 Oscars are
made each year in Chicago by
the
manufacturer, R. S. Owens. If they don't meet
strict
quality
control standards, the statuettes are immediately
cut
in half and melted down.
Each award is individually
packed into a Styrofoam*
container
slightly larger than a shoebox.
Eight of these are then packed into a
larger cardboard box,
and the large
boxes are shipped to the Academy offices in
Beverly Hills via air express, with no
identifiable markings.
On
March 10, 2000, 55 Academy Awards mysteriously
vanished
en route from the Windy City*
to the City of Angels. Nine days
later,
52 of stolen statuettes were discovered
.
For eight decades, the
Oscars have survived war, weathered
earthquakes, and even managed to escape
unscathed* from common
thieves. Since
1995, however, R. S. Owens has repaired more
than 160 statuettes.

they corroded.
stresses that the
statuette is made to endure, Siegel offers
this sage advice to all Oscar winners:
simply wipe it with a soft dry
cloth.
Exercise A Pre-
listening Question
Every January, the
attention of the entertainment community
and of film fans around the world turns
to the upcoming Academy
Awards, the
highest honor in filmmaking. The annual
presentation of the Oscars has become
the Academy of Motion
Picture Arts and
Sciences' most famous activity. The Oscar
Statuette is a knight holding a
crusader's sword, standing on a
reel of
film with five spokes.
