2．It's hard to find Alice Munro in the media．Even after she won the 2013 Nobel Prize in Literature，the Canadian writer just appeared for a quick interview and then dropped out of sight．On Dec 29^th，she still didn't seek the spotlight when she was named one of the five Women of the Year by the Financial Times．
In Munro's eyes，ordinary lives always hide larger dramas．So she records what we casually think of as the everyday actions of normal people．She often focuses on life in her hometown，a small village in Ontario which she is most familiar with．She writes about the ordinary things in the village-trees in the Ontario wilderness，poor country schools and long last illnesses．Above all，she talks about girls and women who have seemingly ordinary lives but struggle against daily misfortune．
She has a special talent for uncovering the extraordinary in the ordinary．These are ordinary people，ordinary stories，but she has the magic．Her precise language，depth of detail and the logic of her storytelling have made her stories inviting．
Runaway，one of Munro's representative works，is a good example of her writing style．One of the stories centers on the life of an ordinary woman Carla，who lives in a small Canadian town with her husband Clark．The story slowly forms a picture of Carla，trapped in a bad marriage，her unhappiness building into desperation until she decides to flee．The story of Carla is a story of the power and betrayals of love．It is about lost children and lost chances that we can all find in life．There is pain beneath the surface，like a needle in the heart．
Since she published her first collection of short stories in 1968，Munro has won many awards，with the Nobel Prize being her biggest honor．On Oct 10^th，2013，the Nobel Prize committee named Munro the"master of the contemporary short story"．

12．He won't want to eat it unless he's really hungry，in_______________ case he'll eat almost anything．（　　）

2．When he was driving home one evening on country road，he saw an old lady，stranded（抛锚的）on the side of the road．He stopped in front of her car and got out．Even with the smile on his face，she was worried．He looked poor and hungry．He knew how she felt．He said，"I am here to help you，madam．Why don't you wait in the car where it's warm？By the way，my name is Joe．"
    She had a flat tire．Joe crawled under the car，changed the tire．But he got dirty and his hands hurt．She could not thank him enough and asked him how much she owned him．He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back，the next time she saw someone who needed help，she could give that person the assistance they needed，and Joe added，"And think of me．"
    She drove off．A few miles down the road the lady saw a small restaurant．She went in．The waitress had a sweet smile，and was nearly eight months pregnant（怀孕的）．The old lady wondered how someone like her who seemed poor could be so kind to a stranger．Then she remembered Joe．After the lady finished her meal，the waitress went to get her change from a hundred-dollar bill．But she stepped right out the door．
    When the waitress came back，she noticed something written on a napkin，"I am helping you because someone once helped me．If you really want to pay me back，here's what you do---Do not let the chain of love end with you．"
    That night when she got home，she was thinking about the money and what the lady had written．She and her husband needed money with the baby due（预期的）next month．She knew how worried her husband was，and as he lay sleeping next to her，she whispered，"Everything's going to be all right．I love you，Joe．"

56．When Joe stopped to help the lady，sheB．
    A．became excited                                     B．was afraid to be hurt
    C．refused his offer                                  D．thanked him

19．He's an old cobbler （修鞋匠） with a shop in the Marais，a historic area in Paris．When I took him my shoes，he at first told me："I haven't time．Take them to the other fellow on the main street； he'll fix them for you right away．"
But I'd had my eye on his shop for a long time．Just looking at his bench loaded with tools and pieces of leather，I knew he was a skilled craftsman （手艺人）．"No，"I replied，"The other fellow can't do it well．"
"The other fellow"was one of those shopkeepers who fix shoes and make keys"while-U-wait"--without knowing much about mending shoes or making keys．They work carelessly，and when they have finished sewing back a sandal strap （鞋带），you might as well just throw away the pair．
My man saw I wouldn't give in，and he smiled．He wiped his hands on his blue apron （围裙），looked at my shoes，had me write my name on one shoe with a piece of chalk and said，"Come back in a week．"
      I was about to leave when he took a pair of soft leather boot off a shelf．
"See what I can do"he said with pride．"Only three of us in Paris can do this kind of work．"
When I got back out into the street，the world seemed brand-new to me．He was something out of an ancient legend，an old craftsman with his way of speaking familiarly，his pride in his craft．
These are times when nothing is important but the bottom line，when you can do things any old way as long as it"pays"，when，in short，people look on work as a path to ever-increasing consumption （消费） rather than a way to realize their own abilities．In such a period，it is a rare comfort to find a cobbler who gets his greatest satisfaction from pride in a job well done．
56．Which of the following is true about the old cobbler？C
A．He was equipped with the best repairing tools．
B．He was the only cobbler in the Marais．
