More than a hundred reporters from around the world thronged and bustled in the Stock Exchange Building in Stockholm's Old Town for about an hour before the doors to the Swedish Academy swung open. Notably, there were many Japanese reporters present, hoping to break the news that Haruki Murakami had won the prize. Finally, the Swedish Academy's Permanent Secretary Peter Englund stepped out from the doors and said Canadian short story writer Alice Munro has won the 2013 Nobel Prize in Literature.

The following is a truncated Q&A with reporters and Englund. (The questions have been simplified and clarified.)

Why did Alice Munro win?

We gave her the Nobel Prize in Literature because she is a master of the contemporary short story.

Which book to begin with?

One of the amazing things about her is that she has no weak works in her writing. She has always worked to the best of her ability; she has always cultivated the short story to perfection. And she has never really written a weak or bad book. So you can take your pick. 'The Moons of Jupiter' was the first book I read by her and you can see both her different themes in that book and also her very special narrative mode, you can find it there. She tells her stories a bit like nobody else. She has a very economical language and sparse style. You can find that in 'The Moons of Jupiter.' You can take your pick. The latest one is obviously very interesting, 'Dear Life,' which contains a number of autobiographical sketches at the end that gives a key to the entire authorship of Alice Munro.

How was she informed?

Well, I left a message on her answering machine. I couldn't reach her and it was of course pretty early in the morning. But she will be notified by courier, by email to her both agents, by standard mail and so on.

What kind of message did you leave?

Basically, congratulations! You've won the Nobel Prize in literature.

What's the Importance of a woman winning?

Don't ask me. We picked her for excellence, nothing else. Of course it matters when you start doing the headcount. But she is no representative. She has received this prize just because of what she has done. Nothing else.

So the sexual balance doesn't count?

We don't have these kinds of quotas; thank god ... We don't have any quotas. We could, if we wanted to, award this prize four times in a row to a children's book writer working in the United States. If we wanted to. We can do as we please. We don't have to fill any quotes in any direction. We just give it to authors who show an extraordinary literary quality. One of these is Mrs. Alice Munro.

1.Why were there so many Japanese reporters in the Stock Exchange Building in Stockholm's Old Town?

A. They were waiting there to report who would win the 2013 Nobel Prize in 2013.

B. They had expected that Haruki Murakami would win the prize.

C. They just wanted to be the first to report the 2013 Noble Prize winner.

D. They were waiting in the stock market to give the world a big surprise.

2.Alice Munro would most probably be informed of her winning by ________?

A. picking up her answering machine B. email from both of her agents

C. standard mail D. The passage doesn’t clarify it.

3.According to the passage, Alice Munro was awarded the 2013 Noble Prize in Literature mainly for ________.

A. she has an obvious advantage over Haruki Murakami

B. it is rare for a woman to have written so many perfect stories

C. she is a master of the contemporary short story

D. she deserves a prize for her hard work for so many years

4.Alice Munro is best known for her work ________.

A. “Dear Life”, which contains a number of autobiographical sketches that gives a key to her entire authorship

B. “The Moons of Jupiter”, which represented both her different themes and also her very special narrative mode

C. “Dance of the Happy Shades”, which helped her win the first Governor General’s Award

D. no specific work, but the uniqueness and perfection reflected in all her works

 

LONDON, Feb. 18,2014 (Xinhua News agency) —Britain will send experts to East China's Shanghai to learn from the city's experience in maths teaching in an attempt to raise the teaching standards.

British Education Minister Elizabeth Truss is to lead a delegation of experts on a fact-finding mission to Shanghai's schools next week to see how children there have become the best in the world at maths, to get a first-hand look at maths classes and teaching methods there, and particularly to investigate why the performance of almost all children in Shanghai is high, regardless of gender or income.

Britain was last year placed 50th out of 148 countries and regions in the World Economic Forum's competitiveness ranking in quality of maths and science education. Two years ago, Shanghai topped the 2012 international PISA tables for maths, while England was ranked in 26th place. The top five were all in Southeast Asia, with 15-year-olds in Shanghai judged to be three years ahead of their peers in maths.

The education department said: "England's performance in maths has lagged behind while other countries have improved and overtaken us, including Poland and Germany." Actually, it is the latest step in the government's drive to raise standards in maths, looking at what has made schools in the far East the most successful in the world in teaching the subject.

"Shanghai is the top-performing part of the world for maths—their children are streets ahead. Shanghai and Singapore have teaching practices and a positive mind that make the difference. They have a belief that diligence makes up for lack of ability," Truss said. "Our new curriculum has borrowed from theirs because we know it works—early learning of key arithmetic, and a focus on times tables and long division(长除法), for instance."

She was determined to change the situation as performance in maths is weakening the country's skills base and threatening the productivity and growth. The government is emphasizing maths because of the importance of good grades in the subject to young people competing for good jobs in a global labor market and to the economy more generally.

An education and skills survey released by the Confederation of British Industry last year showed that 30 percent of employers reported dissatisfaction with the standard of school and college leavers' numeracy. More than two-thirds of employers said they wanted both maths and science promoted more in schools.

C. The students from Singapore did better than the students from Germany.

4.How will students’ poor performance in maths affect the country eventually?

A. By threatening the country's competitiveness of economy.

B. By weakening the country's political system.

C. By losing international competitions in education.

D. By failing to find jobs in a global labor market.

C. The education of science in Britain is no better than that of maths.

D. Most British citizens are dissatisfied with teachers’ work.
