20.It's hard to find Alice Munro in the media.Even after she won the 2013Nobel Prize in Literature,the Canadian writer just appeared for a quick interview and then dropped out of sight.On Dec 29th,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 10th,2013,the Nobel Prize committee named Munro the"master of the contemporary short story".

15.I was walking with a friend yesterday when I found a Xiao-Mi cell phone in a puddle of melted snow.I picked it up and it still worked!I started looking through the contact list and calling numbers to see if I could figure out whose phone it was.Unfortunately,only one person answered and she didn't recognized the number that I was calling.She made a comment of"It is just so nice that you are trying to find out whose phone it is."
Since that lady didn't know whose phone it was,my friend suggested that we go back to the street and the house that we found the Xiao-Mi phone in front of.I knocked on the door and two college age people answered.They hadn't lost their phones,but as I told them the story and mentioned some names on the contact list,the young man said that he had those names also and it must be the phone of one of their friends.Then,both of the people commented on how wonderful it was that I took the time to find the owner.I really didn't have anything to say,because in my mind,I was just doing the right thing.I never considered keeping the phone-it wasn't mine.I immediately tried to find the owner,because that is exactly what I would want someone to do if either I or my family members lost their phones.
Sometimes,helping others is just doing the right thing.And,it felt awesome when I found out it would get back to the owner.The best part was I didn't say who I was-give a name,number-because doing the right thing felt awesome and was more than enough for me!

5.We get up every morning.Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it's painful?This might be called laziness,but Dr.Kleitman has a new explanation.He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.
During the hours when you labour through your work you may say that you're"hot".That's true.The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak.For some people the peak comes during the forenoon.For others it comes in the afternoon or evening.No one has discovered why this is so,but it leads to such familiar monologues(自言自语) as:"Get up,John!You'll be late for work again!"The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening.Much family quarreling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean,and which cycle each member of the family has.
You can't change your energy cycle,but you can learn to make your life fit it better.Habit can help,
Dr.Kleitman believes.Maybe you're sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway.Counteract(对抗/抵消)your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to.If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day,get up before your usual hour.This won't change your cycle,but you'll get up steam and work better at your low point.
Get off to a slow start which keeps your energy.Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch.Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor.Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before.Whenever possible,do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.

12.The old shopkeeper led me through to the back of the shop.The room was filled with boxes and dusty photographs of people holding packages in their hands.
Mr.Hopkins said,"We have a very wide choice of items for sale.Whenever I serve a new customer,I take his picture."Mr.Hopkins pointed to an ancient camera on a table.
I began to appreciate the lovely items on sale.I spent a very pleasant hour being shown the commodities in the shop.Finally,I bought an antique jewelry box,a pair of riding boots and a sewing machine.
I was very excited that I had found such a good little shop."I will tell all my friends about your lovely place."I told the shopkeeper."Please don't do that,sir."said Mr.Hopkins."This is a special place for special people.You must keep this shop a secret."Then he took my photograph and handed me the picture straight away.
On Christmas Day,my friends and relatives were delighted with the presents I had bought for them.For weeks,my brother begged me to take him to the wonderful little shop.I finally agreed.
We walked along Oxford Street,past the department store and found…nothing.In its place was an empty space being used as a car park.I checked the area again.There was the music shop,and there was the department store.In between should have been Hopkins and Son,but it wasn't there.
Just then,an old policeman came."Are you looking for something,sir"he asked."I am looking for a little shop called Hopkins and Son."
"Oh yes,there was a shop here'once called Hopkins and Son.But it was knocked down over 30years ago."
I looked again at the place,then I reached into my pocket and took out the photograph that Mr.Hopkins had taken of me holding my presents in the little shop.
"How strange!"I screamed.
