GAOMI,  Shandong,  Oct.11( Xinhua)—Chinese writer Mo Yan said last Thursday that he was "very surprised" at winning the Nobel Literature Prize.
Speaking  to reporters at a hotel in his hometown Gaomi city in east China's Shandong Province, Mo said, " (I was)very surprised upon winning the prize because I felt I was not very senior in terms of qualification ( among Chinese writers).There are many good writers and my ranking was not so high."
"I am very happy," he saiD."I was having dinner when I received the news.I was surprised.”
"Thank you for coming all the way to Gaomi.This should be a season of red sorghum, but no such crop is planted any more.  I believe none of you have seen the crop," he said.
"The Nobel Literature Prize is a very important literature prize, but not the top awarD.It represents the opinions of the jury(评审团 ).I am satisfied with my major works and I still keep writing by hand.My works are Chinese literature, which is part of world literature.They show the life of Chinese people as well as the country's unique culture and folk customs.Meanwhile, my novels described human beings in the broad sense.I wrote in the perspective of a human being.These works stand beyond regions and ethnic groups," he said.
"The folk arts and folk culture accompanied my growth and I was influenced by the cultural elements I witnessed through my childhood.When I picked up the pen for literature creation, the folk cultural elements inevitably entered my novels and affected and even determined the artistic styles of my works," he added.
Mo's win brought joy to other writers and readers throughout the country as he is the first Chinese national to win the Nobel Literature Prize in its century-long history.
Born into a farmer's family in a village in Gaomi, Mo has been known since the late 1980s for his novels such as Big Breasts and Wide Hips and Red Sorghum(红高粱), which was later adapted into a film by director Zhang Yimou.

Cause and effect is one way to explain things that happen around us. Many things happen because something caused or influenced them to happen. Sometimes it is hard to look at a cause and find out what causes the effect. It may help you to start with the effect and use your reasoning(推理的) skills. Think about all the things you know that could be reasons for the effect you can see.
For example, you may see someone putting on a heavy jacket. This is the effect. To look for a cause, think to yourself, “What would make someone put on a heavy jacket?” Maybe the person works in the penguin pen(企鹅圈养地) at a Sea World. Maybe the person is going to visit an ice skating rink where the air is kept very cold. All of these things could be a cause for putting on a heavy jacket.
Now, think about a second example. The effect is a boy named Abi has to go to the head teacher’s office. What are the possible causes? Maybe he bullied(欺负)another student. Maybe he is just being picked up early. Maybe he is being given a prize!
Here is another example for you to think about its cause and effect. Cait, 13, was trying to fall asleep when her 8-year-old brother,Doug, came into her room. He looked around a bit, but seemed really out of it. Then Doug went back into the hallway and stood there looking straight up at the hall light for quite a while. Little brothers can be very strange, this was really much too strange. Cait didn’t know what to do. Just then, Cait’s father appeared and explained that Doug was sleepwalking. What’s the cause and effect, could you tell?

  1. 1.

      Someone works in the penguin pen

    3. C.
      He is being picked up early

America is growing older. Fifty - eight years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. To day, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect(影响)American society in many ways—education, medicine, and business. Quietly, the graying of America has made us a very different society—one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior(行为) is suitable(合适)at various , ages.
A person s age no longer tells you anything about his/her social position, marriage or health. There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn’t as strong as it used to be. It doesn’t surprise us to hear of a 29 - year - old university president or a 35 - year -old grandmother, or a 70 year - old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing.
Many people say, “I am much younger than my mother— or my father— was at my age. ”No one says“Act your age” any more. We’ve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways

  1. 1.

    It can be learnt from the text that the aging of the population in America ________

    1. A.
      has made people feel younger
    2. B.
      has changed people’s social position
    3. C.
      has changed people’s understanding of age
    4. D.
      has slowed down the country’s social development
  2. 2.

    The underlined word “one” refers to ________

    1. A.
      a society
    2. B.
      America
    3. C.
      a place
    4. D.
      population
  3. 3.

    “Act your age” means people should ________

    1. A.
      be active when they are old
    2. B.
      do the right thing at the right age
    3. C.
      show respect for their parents young or old

At London’s Corinthi a Hotel, the official gave a little information about the storyline: Bond’s loyal attitude toward his boss Miss M will be tested when one of her past staff comes back to hurt her. As MI6 (英国陆军情报六局) is in danger, 007 needs to solve problems and protect MI6 whatever it costs.
Mendes, who won a best director Oscar for 1999’s American Beauty, told fans that Skyfall would have all the features of a classic Bond movie, such as a lot of action. “Daniel Craig is back for a third time as 007 along with Dame Judi Dench as his boss Miss M.” said Mendes. Many famous actors and actresses who have Oscar wins and nominations (提名)are included, but the filmmakers remain keeping their roles in the film secret.
Producers are showing no signs of cutting off the cost of Skyfall. “It is at the same level as the 2008’s Quantum of Solace, which cost about $200m. The film will be made in the Whitehall, Scotland, China and Turkey, as well as Pinewood Studios.” Said a producer.
Why has 007 been popular for so long? Professor James Chapman of Leicester University, the author of the book A Cultural History of the James Bond Films, said, “They manage to let each new film meet the changes not just in society but in the popular taste of film culture. That lets each generation get their own Bond.”

      show off himself as a hero
    3. C.
      protect MI6 when it’s in trouble

The drug store was closing for the night. Young Alfred Higgins, the shop-assistant, was ready to go home. Mr. Carr, the boss, stared at him and said: “Hold on, Alfred. Maybe you'd be good enough to take the things out of your pockets and leave them here before you go.”Alfred's face got red. After a little hesitation, he took out what he had stolen. Mr. Carr said, “Maybe I should call your mother and let her know I'm going to have to put you in prison.”
Alfred thought his mother would come rushing in, eyes burning with anger. But, to his surprise, she arrived wearing a smile. “Hello, I'm Alfred's mother. Is he in trouble?”she said. Mr. Carr was surprised, too. He had expected Alfred's mother to come in nervously, shaking with fear, asking with wet eyes for a mercy for her son. But no, she was most calm, quiet and pleasant and was making Mr. Carr feel guilty…. Soon Mr. Carr was shaking his head in agreement with what she was saying. “Of course”, he said, “I don't want to be cruel. You are right. Sometimes, a little good advice is the best thing for a boy at certain times in his life and it often takes the youths long time to get sense into their heads.”And he warmly shook Mrs. Higgins's hand.
Back home, without even looking at Alfred, she said, “You are a bad luck. It is one thing after another, always has been. Why do you stand there so stupidly? Go to bed.”In his bedroom, Alfred heard his mother in the kitchen. There was no shame in him, just pride in his mother's strength. He felt he must tell her how great she was. As he got to the kitchen, he saw his mother drinking a cup of tea. He was shocked by what he saw. His mother's face was a frightened, broken one. It was not the same cool, bright face he saw earlier in the drug store. As she lifted the tea cup, her hand shook. And some of the tea splashed on the table. Her lips moved nervously. She looked very old. He watched his mother without making a sound. The picture of his mother made him want to cry. He felt his youth coming to an end. He saw all the troubles he brought his mother in her shaking hand and the deep lines of worry in her grey face. It seemed to him that this was the first time he had ever really seen his mother

  1. 1.

    The reason why Mr. Carr felt guilty was that ________

    1. A.
      he found Alfred was in fact innocent
    2. B.
      he should have called a policeman in first
    3. C.
      Alfred's mother appeared polite and gentle
    4. D.
      he thought he was partly responsible for it
  2. 2.

    Which of the following is probably said by Mrs. Higgins while talking to Mr. Carr?

    1. A.
      “Please, for God's sake, you know, he is just a kid.”
    2. B.
      “I can't believe it! You are treating my son like that!”
    3. C.
      “You know, it takes time for a youth to truly grow up.”
    4. D.
      “Punishment makes sense because it teaches about the law.”
  3. 3.

    What does the underlined phrase "his mother's strength"(Para. 3) refer to?

    1. A.
      Mrs. Higgins's calmness and communicating skills
    2. B.
      Mrs. Higgins's attitude towards parental sufferings
    3. C.
      Mrs. Higgins's love and care for her son Alfred
    4. D.
      Mrs. Higgins's greatness as a woman
  4. 4.

    After the incident, young Alfred would probably ________

    1. A.
      feel ashamed of her mother
    2. B.
      change his attitudes towards life
    3. C.
      learn to live an independent life

Who Owns the Moon?
Within the next ten years, the U. S., China, Israel, and a crowd of private companies plan to set up camp on the moon. So if and when they plant a flag, does that give them property rights?
A NASA working group hosted a discussion this week to ask: Who owns the moon? The answer, of course, is no use. The Outer Space Treaty, the international signed by more than 100 countries, states that the moon and other celestial bodies (天体) are the province of all mankind. No doubt that would annoy all of the people throughout the ages, like monks from the Middle Ages, who have tried to claim the moon was theirs.
But ownership is different from property rights. People who rent apartments, for example, don’t own where they live, but they still hold rights. So with all of the upcoming missions (派遣团) to visit the moon and beyond, space industry thought leaders are seriously asking themselves how to deal with a potential land rush.
“ This is a very relevant discussion right now. We’ve got this wave of new lunar missions from around the world,” said William Marshall, a scientist in the small-spacecraft office at NASA, but who spoke this week at an event hosted by NASA’s Co Lab, a collaborative(协力完成的) public-private working group. He was speaking from his personal interest and not on behalf of the agency.
To be sure, the United States aims to send astronauts back to the moon by as early as 2015, in a mission that would include a long-term settlement. China and Israel, among others, are also working on lunar projects. And for the first time, several private groups are building spacecraft to land on the moon in an attempt to win millions of dollars in the Google Lunar X Prize. Some participants say that they plan to gain some property rights in the mission

  1. 1.

    In the passage the writer seems to be worrying that______.

    1. A.
      the US will live on the moon forever
    2. B.
      the moon will not be able to hold all mankind
    3. C.
      the potential land rush will become more and more frequent
    4. D.
      no one can answer the question “ Who owns the moon?”
  2. 2.

    “ The Google Lunar X Prize” aims to ______.

    1. A.
      encourage private groups to land on the moon
    2. B.
      help NASA host a discussion about land rush on the moon
    3. C.
      help some developing countries to complete their lunar projects
    4. D.
      reward some countries or private groups which haven’t stepped on the moon
  3. 3.

    The underlined word “ that” in the first paragraph refers to ______.

    1. A.
      the Outer Space Treaty
    2. B.
      if and when they plant a flag
    3. C.
      the NASA working group
    4. D.
      monks from the Middle Ages
  4. 4.

    What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

    1. A.
      The U. S. astronauts will live on the moon for longer time
    2. B.
      Many countries and private groups plan to go to the moon
    3. C.
      Why some private groups wish to land on the moon
