19.Mo Yan's Nobel Prize in Literature soon aroused public curiosity of the 57-year-old Chinese writer:Why was it he that was favored by the Swedish Academy?Chinese media seemed to be(31)Aas some journalists were reported to be on their way overnight to Gaomi City,Shandong,Mo's(32)Bwhere he stayed with his family.
Born in 1955 into a rural family,Mo(33)Cout of school and became a farmer when he was a(n(34)D.He joined the military and devoted himself to(35)Bafter Chinese literary circles started rethinking deeply the Cultural Revolution.
Mo's novel"Big Breasts & Wide Hips"tells a story of a mother who struggled and suffered(36)Aand tangled (缠结的) fates with Chinese people in the 20th century.His more recent work"Frog"more directly(37)CChina's one-child family policy,which helped(38)Dthe country's population explosion(39)Bbrought tragedies to farmers in the past 60 years.
"I think the reason why I could win the(40)Ais that my works present lives with unique Chinese(41)C,and they also tell stories from a viewpoint of(42)Dhuman beings,which goes beyond differences of nations and races,"Mo said to Chinese journalists.Mo also said many(43)Carts originated from his hometown,such as clay sculpture,paper cuts,traditional new-year paintings,have(44)Aand influenced his novels.
Mo's prize may give powerful encouragement to the country's writers as the more (45)Bof Chinese lives their works are,the more possible they(46)Bas a world literature.
As the world's fast-developing country with a long history,China will(47)Cmeet conflicts with western civilizations.(48)D,the country faces internally a wide gap between the rich and the poor,(49)Aenvironment pollution and an aging population.Paying more attention to such(50)D,Chinese writers may create more works that record the nation's journey to rejuvenation(复兴).With more Chinese writers like Mo,the world could learn a more real China.Perhaps,this is another reason for the Swedish Academy's choice.

11.The Pecan Thief
When I was six years old,I was visiting my grandfather's farm in Kansas.Grandpa had sent me into the(36)Cto gather pecans(山核桃)for us to enjoy later.
Pecan picking was really(37)Awork and my little basket was only half full.I didn't(38)Ato make Grandpa disappointed.Just then something caught my(39)C.A large brown squirrel was a few feet away.I watched as he picked up a pecan,hurried to a tree and(40)Din a large hole in the trunk A moment later the squirrel (41)Aout and climbed down to the ground to pick up(42)Dnut.Once again,he took the pecan back to his hiding place.
Not so secret anymore,I thought.I dashed over to the tree and looked into the hole.It was(43)Bwith pecans!Golden pecans were right there for taking.This was my(44)C.Handful by handful,I scooped all of those pecans into my basket.Now it was full!I was so (45)Dof myself.
I couldn't wait to show Grandpa all the pecans.(46)D,I ran back and shouted,"Look at all the pecans!"He looked into the basket and said,"Well,well,how did you find so many?"I told him how l'd(47)Bthe squirrel and taken the pecans from his hiding place.
Grandpa congratulated me on how smart I'd been in observing the squirrel and his habits.Then he did something that(48)Cme.He handed the basket back to me and put his arm gently(49)Amy shoulders.
"That squirrel worked very hard to gather his winter(50)Aof food,"he said."Now that all of his pecans are gone,don't you think that little squirrel will(51)C the cold winter?"
"I didn't think about that,"I said.
"I know,"Grandpa said."But a good man should never take(52)Dof someone else's hard work."
Suddenly I felt a bit(53)A.The image of the starving squirrel wouldn't(54)Bmy mind There was only one thing I could do.I carried the basket back to the tree and poured all the nuts into the hole.
I didn't eat any pecans that night,but I had something much more filling(55)Dof knowing I had done just the right thing.

"And what do you want?"asked the chemist.
"It's(35)Bmy little brother,"the girl answered back."He's really,really sick and I want to buy a(36)D.His name is Andrew and he has something(37)Agrowing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him."
"We don't 38 miracles here,child.I'm sorry,"the chemist said,smiling(39)Cat the little girl.

"I don't know,"she replied."He's really sick and mommy says he needs(42)D.But my daddy can't pay for it,so I have brought my(43)A."
"How much do you have?"asked the man.
"One dollar and eleven cents,(44)CI can try and get some more,"she answered quietly.
"Well,what a coincidence(巧合),"smiled the man."A dollar and eleven cents-the (45)Cprice of a miracle for little brothers.(46)Dme to where you live.I want to see your brother and(47)Cyour parents."
