    The Swedish Academy in Stockholm on Thursday named Mo Yan winner of the Twenty-Twelve Nobel Prize in Literature.
    The academy praised the Chinese writer for what it called his “hallucinatoty realism (魔幻现实主义)”. It noted his ability to combine folk stories, history and modern events in his works.
    An academy official said Mister Mo was “overjoyed and sacred” when he learnt he had won the award. He will receive his Nobel diploma, a medal and more than one million dollars at the ceremony in Stockholm in December.
    Mo Yan is a leading author of modern Chinese novels. He often writes from memories of his youth. He also sets many of his stories in the area where he was born—Shandong Province in northeastern China.
    Mister Mo’s 1987 book Red Sorghum is an example. It is about the extreme violence in rural eastern China during the Communist Revolution in the 1920’s and 1930’s. The story describes the criminal culture of the time, Japan’s occupation and the terrible conditions faced by farm workers. Red Sorghum was later made into a movie.
    Mo Yan’s other major works include Big Breasts and Wide Hips, Republic of Wine and Life and Death Are Wearing Me Out.
    The Royal Swedish Academy compared him to two 20th century writers: American William Faulkner and Colombia Gabriel Marquez.
    Mo Yan’s real name is Guan Moye. Mo Yan means “Don’t speak.” The writer said he chose the name to remember to stop his tongue from getting him in trouble.
    China is celebrating the victory of his native son. Minutes after the award was announced, millions of Chinese expressed pleasure and pride for Mo Yan on social media websites.

    The news that China bans time-travel TV dramas and movies got a lot of attention on the internet. Yet, time travel in China is a bit different from time travel in common sense．It is anything but science fiction and always goes backwards in time．There is minimum imagination involved--no ever-ending circles that mess up present and future, no advanced technology, no new social orders or new human forms from the twenty--whatever century, everything is a known historical fact when you travel through in China．
    It is not even called time travel; rather the Chinese people refer it as time crossover．Time crossover has been an extremely popular theme for online novels for years(in fact , it is an indispensible part of China’s online culture), and didn’t get picked up by TV and the big screen until recent two years．Most of time-travel dramas and movies are adapted from popular online novels and like in other cases adaptations are never better than the original books．
    The main plot of time-travel novels or TV dramas can be very well summarized in one sentence: from nobody to somebody．Time travel in China is more about escaping from the reality than about realizing wild dreams．
    In China , there is no need of time machine either．People travel backwards in time via the possession of antiques presence at historical places of interest encounter of life-threatening accidents or simple a look into the mirror．Some time-travel novels even start with “I wanted to go back to history so much that one morning when I opened my eyes I was back．” Technology is not relevant at all．
    Though China is not short of histories to go back to, people have their own preferences and it is pretty much a gender （性别）thing．If the main character is male then he usually goes back to special times in history when he is able to help build up or tear up a dynasty．A typical example is A Step Into the Past(寻秦记), the first time-travel TV drama in China, which tells the story of how a SWAT member helps to unite China and build up Qin Dynasty ．
    On the other hand , female characters primarily go back to Qing Dynasty partly because Qing Dynasty has the most number of princes to fall in love with．Yongzheng Emperor is the favorite．As can be seen in Startling by Each Step（步步惊心）, a Qing time crossover classic, a girl goes back to Qing Dynasty and falls in love with Yongzheng Emperor and his brothers．
    小题1:As for time travel in China, which of the following ideas does the writer agree to ?
    A．it is complicated and can be classified into science fiction.
    B．it is often based on the familiar story in history.
    C．it sometimes messes up the times and social orders.
    D．it always occurs in any times but the time before.
    小题2:The writing purpose of this passage is to           .
    A．analyze why the time -travel TV dramas are banned in China
    B．introduce the characteristics of the time-travel TV dramas in China
    C．show the difference between time travel in China and in other cultures
    D．advise people to watch the time-travel TV dramas in China
    小题3:It can be inferred from the passage that          .
    A．China now has banned any forms of productions about time travel
    B．adapted from online novels, time-travel TV and movie productions enjoy more praise
    C．the main character always follows a set pattern in the time-travel TV dramas in China
    D．all the time-travel productions are about heroes and their success
    小题4:The news mentioned in the very beginning is intended to         .
    A．prove author’s viewB．introduce the topic
    C．give an exampleD．work as a topic sentence

    Narasimha Das is on his way to feed 169,379 hungry children. Das is in charge of a kitchen in Vrindaban. The town is about a three-hour drive from India’s capital, New Delhi. Das gets to work at 3:00 a.m. Thirty workers are already working to make tens of thousands of rounds of bread. It will be brought to 1,516 schools in and around Vrindaban.
    A Growing Problem
    Going to school is difficult for more than 13 million children in India. They must go to work instead, or go hungry. That’s why India began the Mid-Day Meal Scheme, the largest school-lunch program in the world. A free lunch encourages children to come to school and gives them the energy they need for learning. The program began in the 1960s.
    The kitchen in Vrindaban is run by the Akshaya Patra Foundation. It is one of the lunch program’s biggest partners. “Just $11.50 can feed one child for an entire year,” said Madhu Sridhar, president of the Akshaya Patra Foundation.
    Lunch Is Served!
    The Akshaya Patra food truck arrives at Gopalgarh Primary School. Since the program started, the number of underweight children has gone down. The children get foods they need — as long as they finish what’s on their plates.
    小题1:The kitchen in Vrindaban supplies food to _____.
    A．the poorB．the old
    C．college students D．school children
    小题2:Why is it difficult for children to go to school in India?
    A．Because there are not enough teachers.
    B．Because there are not enough schools.
    C．Because they have to work to make money.
    D．Because their parents refuse to send them to school.
    小题3:Which of the following about the Mid-Day Meal Scheme is NOT true?
    A．It is run by Narasimha Das.
    B．It has been carried out for about 50 years.
    C．It is to encourage children to go to school.
    D．It is the largest school-lunch program in the world.

    In 1991, Kentucky Fried Chicken announced that it was officially changing its name to “KFC” as well as updating its packaging and logo(标识)with a more modern look. The public relations reason was that health-conscious consumers associated the word “fried” with “unhealthy”, causing some of them to completely avoid the wide variety of “healthy” menu items. The new title and image were designed to attract customers to a restaurant now offering foods branded as “better for you”.
    It sounded good, but the real reason behind the shift to KFC had nothing to do with critical consumers. In 1990, the Commonwealth of Kentucky, trapped in debt, took the unusual step of trade marking its name. Therefore, anyone using the word “Kentucky” for business reasons would have to obtain permission and pay licensing fees to the Commonwealth of Kentucky. It was an unusual and brilliant scheme to lighten government debt, but it was also one that alienated (疏远)one of the most famous companies ever associated with Kentucky. The Kentucky Fried Chicken chain refused as a matter of principle to pay royalties on a name they had been using for four decades. After a year of fruitless talks, Kentucky Fried Chicken changed their name instead, introducing new packaging and products to hide the real reasons behind the change of the name.
    Kentucky fried Chicken was not the only one who bravely refused to give in. The name of the most famous horse race in North America, held every year at Churchill Downs, was changed to “The Run for the Roses” for similar reasons.
    In November 2006, KFC and the State of Kentucky finally reached a settlement over the use of the trademarked word “Kentucky”, and the restaurant chain announced it would be reusing its former name of “Kentucky Fried Chicken”.
    小题1:The public relations reason for Kentucky Fried Chicken’s updating its packaging and logo was that      .
    A．it was losing money
    B．most customers didn’t like the old logo
    C．it wanted to get involved in other businesses
    D．it decided to offer better foods to customers
    小题2:The Commonwealth of Kentucky trademarked its name to       .
    A．develop American culture
    B．be alienated from the famous companies
    C．raise money to pay the government debt
    D．make Kentucky known throughout the world
    小题3:The real reason why “Kentucky Fried Chicken” changed its name was related to      .
    A．healthB．moneyC．packageD．product
    小题4:It can be inferred from the passage that      .
    A．KFC is still not allowed to use the name of “Kentucky Fried Chicken”
    B．“Kentucky Fried Chicken” changed its name after several years of talks
    C．the name “Kentucky Fried Chicken” had only been used for a short time
    D．the original name of the horse race “The Run for the Roses” contained the word “Kentucky”

    Dave Bruno works as an online marketing manager. Several years ago, one weekend Bruno and his family did a major house cleanup and then donated several bags of unneeded items to the local Goodwill store. “After all were done, I looked around and realized that I still had too much stuff”, says Bruno, “It occurred to me that maybe I wanted to lead a simple life but in reality I behaved differently.” That realization prompted the 39-year-old father of three to try an experiment, “The 100Thing Challenge”.
    With the goal of breaking free of what he calls a “bad habit of consumerism（消费主义）, Bruno was determined to live for one year with just 100 personal items. He cut down his possessions to 94 items, including a Bible, laptop, guitar, wedding ring, car and clothes. He created some guidelines for the experiment since his wife and daughters did not participate, familyshared and household items did not count as personal items. He also grouped together some basic things such as underwear and socks. Bruno began blogging about his new lifestyle and eventually wrote a book, The 100 Thing Challenge: How I Got Rid of Almost Everything, Remade My Life, and Regained My Soul.
    Since completing the experiment, Bruno has continued to live by the motto: reduce, refuse, and rearrange and maintains just 110 personal things. “ Nearly three years of living with a minimal amount of personal possessions, I’m no longer in the habit of consuming for the sake of consumption (消费),” he wrote in his blog last week, “That has freed me up for all sorts of better endeavors (活动) than shopping—like spending time with family and writing a book and planning for business opportunities.”
    Bruno’s project has also inspired others to live minimally, many of whom post their own 100 Thing Challenge updates on YouTube. “The reality is that the 100 Thing Challenge is surprisinglyeasy”, says Bruno, “I’m  not saying there were no challenges or disappointments. I miss some things, but not that much. Frankly, it’s far easier to live with less stuff than with excessive trash.”
    小题1:What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 1?
    A．Bruno regretted to have an easy life.
    B．Bruno had a special behavior in reality,
    C．Bruno and his family led a happy life.
    D．Bruno would have liked a life with fewer items.
    小题2:The things were included in Bruno’s 94 items EXCEPT____________.
    A．socksB．a BibleC．cookersD．a wedding ring
    小题3:What is the best title for the passage?
    A．Live with 100 Things
    B．Defeat 100 Challenges in Life
    C．Survive by Your Motto
    D．Consume for Consumption’s Sake

    Some young Cambodians are learning a new sport — skateboarding. The country’s first skateboard park is located on the grounds of a local charity group at the edge of Phnom Penh, the capital.
    Sports like Khmer boxing and soccer are wildly popular in Cambodia. But Chea, who has been skating for 6 months, says skating has already become his favorite sport.
    The skaters are learning tricks like launching off a jump or half-pipe and flying through the air on their narrow wooden boards.
    A non-governmental organization called Skateistan Cambodia organizes weekly programs at the park. Skateistan started its work in Afghanistan years ago. Rory Burke is working with the group which expanded to Cambodia last year.
    Rory Burke points out, “Yeah, it’s definitely not a typical Cambodian pastime (消遣). And I think the idea of ‘why skateboarding’ is that it’s not been done before here. We want to use skateboarding as something saying, ‘Hey, this is new, this is something different.And that kind of itself becomes a little bit of hook. People see it and they think and they say, ‘Wow, what is that?’ and they want to get involved. ”
    Skateistan partners with local groups that work with young people. The park is on the grounds of the group known as PSE, where children attend school and learn a trade. There are almost one hundred twenty participants. They all come from troubled lives.
    Seventeen-year-old Sang Rotha is a student at PSE. “Sometimes I don’t do well in subjects like math,” he says, “I feel bad when I find it hard to keep up with my lessons. So that is why I skateboard ---to improve my bad feelings. ’，
    He says he began skateboarding more than a year ago. Before he started training, it seemed very easy. But it was very difficult to learn tricks, and he got hurt a lot from falling off.
    Rory Burke says learning to deal with the difficulties is part of the lesson for these young skateboarders.
    小题1: According to the passage, PSE is a group ______.
    A．that works with Cambodian students
    B．for young Cambodians to learn a trade
    C．for young Cambodians in troubled lives

    A．It was born in Afghanistan years ago.
    B．It is easy for young Cambodians to learn.
    C．It is as popular as Khmer boxing in Cambodia.
    D．It is a good sport to help get good feeling again.
    小题3:The underlined part alittle bit of hook probably means ______.
    A．something strange
    B．something quite new
    C．something different
    D．something attractive
    小题4: It can be inferred from the passage that skateboarding is becoming ______.

    Weall know about “Brother Sharp” , “King of Calm” and “Brother Buckteeth”----names that netizens(网民) have given those with special characteristics, or who have done something special.
    Recently, a new name has been added to that list----“Brother Banner(横幅)”. What did he do to get the name?
    “Brother Banner” is Chen Yihua, a Senior 1 student at Guangzhou No.16 High School. On the afternoon of May 4, he made a banner, dressed in school uniform, and stood outside a Line 1 subway station in Guangzhou.
    Chen was protesting(抗议)Guangzhou Metro(地铁) Company’s renovation(整修) project for the line.
    The company was planning to renew 16 stations on the line over three years. It said that the station would be renovated in similar styles, and the cost of the project would be 92.27 million yuan.
    The banner that Chen held said: “The special features of Line 1 stations will disappear. The program is also a waste of resources. I hope you will help my protest be signing my subway petition(请愿) against the renovation .”
    His action attracted the attention of passers-by. In three days, Chen collected more than 300 signatures(签名) from the public.
    The metro company also noticed Chen, and responded to him, three times, over the following week.
    On May 6, the company announced that the project was to replace aging equipment that has been running for a long time, because it had “safety risks”. The public was unsatisfied with the response.
    The next day, the company met with Chen and gave further details of the project. Chen remained unconvinced.
    The company made a 180-degree turn in its third response to Chen’s protest on May 10.
    Zhong Xuejun, spokesman for the company, said the renovation would be based on the principle of saving energy and being economical. It would focus on the old equipment and the look of the stations wouldn’t be changed much.
    Finally, Chen’s voice had been heard.
    小题1:What do “Brother sharp”, “King of Calm” and “Brother Buckteeth” have in common?
    A．They’re handsome.
    B．They only exist in the net.
    C．They’re characters(角色,特征) of a novel.

    小题2:How many times has the metro company responded？
    A．1B．2C．3D．4

    A．“Brother Banner” is a Senior 1 student.
    B．“Brother Banner” collected more than 300 signatures in three days.
    C．“Brother Banner” has made a difference through his action.
    D．“Brother Banner” is not a normal student.

    Experts say the temperature in Eyjafjallajokull's hole appears to have fallen to 100C, meaning it is now producing steam, not magma（岩浆）.
    But officials warned that it was too early to say whether the eruption was over completely.
    Ash clouds from the volcano grounded thousands of flights last month.
    Steinunn Jakobsdottir, a geophysicist from the Icelandic Meteorological Office, told the BBC that the volcano was "kind of not active for the moment".
    "The history of the volcano is such that it calms down and then it gets energy again," she said.
    "There are still earthquakes under the volcano, and the small earthquake is still not quite down to what it was before the eruption."
    'Difficult to say'
    Magnus Gudmundsson, of Iceland University, flew over the volcano on Sunday and said information from heat cameras showed the temperatures at the crater had fallen below 100C.
    But he told the AFP news agency that nothing was promised and that the previous eruption at the volcano had lasted 13 months, from 1821-23.
    "It stopped and started again several times with different intervals（间隔）, so it's difficult to say, difficult to give a timeline," he said.
    He also said it was impossible to say whether the neighbouring Katla volcano - a much larger mountain - might also erupt.
    At the height of its activity, the volcano sent out huge clouds of ash, which led to airlines grounding their planes for fear it could interfere with plane engines.
    It was the biggest action of closing airspace in Europe since World War II, and affected at least 10 million passengers worldwide.
    小题1:What do expert think Eyjafjallajokull is like now?
    A．Magma is still coming out
    B．The hole appears about 100 degrees C
    C．The eruption was not over
    D．It is very cold.
    小题2:How do expects know the temperature in Eyjafjallajokull's hole?
    A．By taking photosB．By taking its temperature
    C．By going close to itD．By driving past it
    小题3:What does Steinunn Jakobsdottir think of Eyjafjallajokull?
    A．It will erupt again soon
    B．It will be sleeping
    C．Another mountain might also erupt
    D．It’s uncertain
    小题4:What do you think the main idea is?
    A．the biggest action of closing airspace in Europe
    B．the temperature in Eyjafjallajokull's hole
    C．The Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland
    D．The earthquake in Iceland
