The 92－year－old, thin, calm and proud lady, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o'clock, even though she is nearly blind, moved to a nursing home today.

Her husband of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary. After many hours of waiting patiently in the hall of the nursing home, she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready.

As she walked slowly to the elevator, I provided a true description of her tiny room, including the old sheets that had been hung on her window. “I love it.” she said with the happiness of an eight－year－old having just been presented with a new puppy.

“Mrs Jones, you haven't seen the room...just wait.”

“That doesn't matter.” she replied.“Happiness is something you decide ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn't depend on how the furniture is arranged. It's how I arranged my mind. I have already decided to love it. It's a decision I make every morning when I wake up. Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open I'll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I've stored away.”She went on to explain，“Old age is like a bank account. You take what you've put in. So, my advice to you would be to put in a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories. Thank you for your part in filling my memory bank.”And with a smile, she said，“All my memories are happy ones.”

Canadian short story writer Alice Munro won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Eighty-two-year-old Munro is only the 13th woman to win the 112-year-old prize．

Munro didn’t publish her first collection of short stories until she was 37 years old, but her stories have always been well-received. Lots of her stories share similar themes and characters, but each story has its own twists and turns.

Even though she’s won Canada’s most famous literary award, the Giller Prize, twice, winning the Nobel Prize for Literature is the cherry on top of Munro’s career. “It brings this incredible recognition，both of her and her career，and of the dedication to the short story, ”said one person.

Along with the well-respected title comes 1.3 million dollars. Munro said everything was “so surprising and wonderful” and that she was “dazed by all the attention and affection that has been coming my way.”

Munro knew she was in the running—she was named the second-most likely person to win this year’s prize, after Haruki Murakami（村上春树）of Japan—but she never thought that she would win.

Munro’s win also represents the long way Canadian writers have come. “When I began writing there was a very small community of Canadian writers and little attention was paid by the world. Now Canadian writers are read, admired and respected around the globe,” Munro said on Thursday.

She is technically not the first Canadian to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, but many like to think that she is．In 1976 Saul Bellow, who was born in Quebec but moved to Chicago when he was still a child, won the prize. Even though he was born in Canada, he is mostly considered to be an American writer.

“This is a win for us all. Canadians, by our very nature，are not very nationalistic,” said Geoffrey Taylor. “But things like this suddenly make you want to find a flag．”

She wasn’t sure whether she would keep writing if she won the prize，saying that it would be “nice to go out with a bang. But this may change my mind.”

1.What is the feature of Munro’s stories？

A. They have specific themes for children．

B. They have similar story backgrounds．

C. They have their own complicated contents．

D. They have the same characters in each book．

2.For Munro, the Nobel Prize for Literature is an award for______．

A .her love for Canadian culture

B. her devotion to the short story

C. her special form of writing

D. her career of editing short stories

3.What is implied in the sixth paragraph？

A. Canadian writers have long been ignored．

B. Canadian writers are just a small community．

C. Canadian writers paid little attention to the prize．

D. Canadians have a long way to win the prize．

4.What does the passage mainly tell us？

A. How Alice Munro wins the Nobel Prize for Literature．

B. An introduction to the Nobel Prize for Literature．

C. Alice Munro wins the Nobel Prize for Literature．

D. A world-famous writer, Alice Munro．

He was not looking for ________ or was not worrying about whether someone was ________ or not. He wasn't concerned about being judged. He didn't seem to be bothered by the fact that maybe someone would see him fall ( as there were others in the park apart from him and his mother) and that it would be ________if he did fall.

Hi, Janice,

It's been a month since I came to this new school and I really want share with you some of the problems I have been experiencing.

As I tell you last time, I made three new friend here. We hang out together during lunch and after school. We've been spending a lot of time sing in karaoke bars. It's been three Saturdays now and it really costs me many. And I started to see this as a time—wasting activity! In fact ,I don’t like to go anymore, so I’m afraid I’ll lose their friendship. How do you think I should do? If you are me ,would you talk to him?

Please help with me and give me some advice.

5 Secrets of Web Travel Sites

Booking a trip on an online travel site is convenient, but comes with its own set of problems.

1.They who's on a Mac and who's on a PC and who's going to spend more.

Last year, US travel research company Orbitz tracked people's online activities to test out whether Mac users spend more on travel than PC users. On average, Mac users lay out US$20-30 more per night on hotels and go for more stars. according to the Wall Street Journal. As a result, online• travel sites show these users more expensive travel options first. To avoid inadvertently paying more, sort results by price.

2.Their software doesn't always hook up to the hotel's system.

A guaranteed reservation is almost impossible to come by anywhere — but the risk of your flight or hotel being overbooked increases with third-party providers. The middle-man's software isn't immune to system errors, so always call the hotel or airline to make sure your booking was processed.

3.Don't be fooled by packages: Often, they're low-end items grouped together.

Ever notice how travel sites recommend a hotel, a rental car, and tour package all in one click? These deals usually feature travel that no one wants, like flights with multiple layovers.

Check the fine print.

4.You could miss out on loyalty points.

Third-party providers can get between you and frequent flyer miles or points. Many hotel loyalty programmes don't recognise external sites, others award only minimum points and exclude special offers, like double points on hotel stays.

5.Once your trip is purchased, you're on your own.

An online travel agency can't provide assistance the same way an agent can if a flight is cancelled or a room is substandard. Basically, when you arrive at the airport or hotel, you're just another client who booked at the lowest rate.

1.Which ofthe following is TRUE?

A.Third-party providers can ensure your reservation.

B. Mac users are likely to spend more money than PC users.

C.An online travel agency functions the same as an agent.

D.Packages usually provide travelers with satisfactory programmes.

2.What's the purpose of the passage?

A.To encourage readers to book a trip on an online travel site.

B. To make an advertisement about several travel sites online.

C. To convince readers not to book a trip on an online travel site.

D.To warn readers of some problems with booking trips online.
