But before going back home, there was an interview with the host, Ryan Seacrest. During the interview they smiled and repeated their disbelief at what was happening to them. To their surprise, their movie won the first place in the Oscars. When the two received the award, it was late morning in the children’s home city of Mumbai, where their family, friends and many fellow residents of the slums watched the results from Hollywood.
"I don’t really know what the Oscars are," Rubina’s mother said. "I’m just glad my daughter looks happy, though she told me she missed Indian food."
"Our children lead a dog’s life," Rubina’s mother said, pointing at the rubbish everywhere, the open drains (下水道) and the lack of education opportunities.
In a few days they will be back in Mumbai and back in the slums. Fortunately, according to media reports, the movie’s director, Danny Boyle, has promised to help the children he chose from the slums go to a proper school.
The two don’t need to worry about their daily lives because of the Oscar success of Slumdog Millionaire. But the poverty and lack of education opportunities —the central theme of the movie —is always all around.
1. Which of the following is true about the two children?
A. They played a major role in getting India children to receive education.
B. They were both excited about receiving the award.
