GAOMI, Shandong, Oct．11（Xinhua）—Chinese writer Mo Yan said last Thursday that he was "very surprised" at winning the Nobel Literature Prize．
Speaking to reporters at a hotel in his hometown Gaorni city in east China's Shandong Ptovince, Mo said, " （I was）very surprised upon winning the prize because I felt I was not very senior in terms of qualification （among Chinese writers）．There are many good writers and my ranking was not so high．"
"I am very happy," he said．"I was having dinner when I received the news．I was surprised．”
"Thank you for coming all the way to Gaomi．This should be a season of red sorghum, but no such crop is planted any more．I believe none of you have seen the crop," he said．"The Nobel Literature Prize is a very important literature prize, but not the top award．It represents the opinions of the jury（评审团）．I am satisfied with my major works and I still keep writing by hand．My works are Chinese literature, which is part of world literature．They show the life of Chinese people as well as the country's unique culture and folk customs．Meanwhile, my novels described human beings in the broad sense．I wrote in the perspective of a human
being．These works stand beyond regions and ethnic groups," he said．
"The folk arts and folk culture accompanied my growth and I was influenced by the cultural elements I witnessed through my childhood．When I picked up the pen for literature creation, the folk cultural elements inevitably entered my novels and affected and even determined the artistic styles of my works," he added．
Mo's win brought joy to other writers and readers throughout the country as he is the first Chinese national to win the Nobel Literature Prize in its century —long history．Born into a farmer's family in a village in Gaomi, Mo has been known since the late 1980s for his novels such as Big Breasts and Wide Hips and Red Sorghum, which was later adapted into a film by director Zhang Yimou．

Mu Yumin had no idea that when he stopped by the computer club as a freshman looking for something fun, it would decide his career four years later．The 22 —year —old biology major at Huazhong University of Science and Technology found a job as an IT technician in Shanghai．" My experience in the club gave me another 'diploma' ," said Mu．" More importantly, I found something I am good at and can make a living from．"
Now campuses around the country have started recruiting fresh faces for all kinds of clubs．Upperclassmen and experts suggest a hobby - based choice of clubs, which might have a lasting impact（影响）on one' s life and career Zhang Ling did not get many chances to write stories as an environmental protection major at Jiangxi University of Science and Technology．But this changed when she joined the university broadcast stat．ion．Her daily interviews with students and teachers expanded her horizon．Now she is determined to become
a journalist on environmental issues with her degree in environmental protection．"Journalism changed my life track," said the 22 —year—old girl．"I only wanted to be a science teacher in a local senior high school．But now I am applying for a graduate school in journalism．"
Lan Yujie, professor at Anhui University of Technology, regards Mu and Zhang as good examples of choosing "what I like" instead of " what is practical" in finding jobs and seeking further study．"Some freshmen don't know what to choose," said Lan．"Just following a hobby and doing something you like can easily give you the experience that makes you happy and special．"
Lan further says that joining clubs should not necessarily have a purpose, As part of campus life, a club experience will impact one's life and career m one way or another．"The point of clubs is to have as much diverse（多样的）experiences as possible so that students can explore more of their life," said Lan．

In today's fast - paced society, few people take time to enjoy the midday meal．Most of us just rush right through it．We grab a quick salad, or buy a sandwich and eat at our computers, Sometimes, if there is a deadline around the comer, we just skip lunch．
The development of technology hasn't done our eating habits much good either．We are constantly distracted by e - mail, social media, and 24 - hour news．Even when we do sit down for lunch, we are more connected to our hand - held electronic devices．
Long working hours can cause all kinds of health problems, and many developed countries have put in place labor laws specifically regarding the lunch break．These laws give employees the right to take a break during a long work shift, but it's up to them whether they do so or not．Frank Partnoy, a former Wall Street trader, says that employers should encourage workers to take time off for lunch．This is because long lunch breaks can benefit both individuals and society.
Writing in The Guardian, Partnoy says that one obvious reason to take a lunch break is to slow down and gain some perspective（认识）．A break from work allows us to think strategically and outside the box．It also puts our daily tasks into a broader context（背景）．
What we eat at lunch is also important．In Partnoy' s opinion, a fast food lunch is more harmful than not having lunch at all．And it's not just about calories and unhealthy food．Recent studies show that fast food also has negative effects on how we think．
However, if we sit down at a proper restaurant and chat leisurely with colleagues, we are more likely to slow down, something that hardly can be achieved in a noisy and over — packed fast food chain．
Despite these benefits, some employees might still be unwilling to take time off for lunch．Partnoy's suggestion? Make skipping lunch difficult: Employers could ask workers to fill out a form stating their reasons for skipping the meal．
71．What does the underlined phrase "skip lunch" mean in the first paragraph?
A．don't have lunch B．have a quick lunchC．work while having lunch D．take a lunch break
72．Which of the following is true according to the text?
A．Modern technology results in good diet habits．B．Electronic devices make our life comfortable．
C．Many people are too busy to have a good lunch．D．Laws have passed to make workers have lunch．
73．According to Frank Partnoy, long lunch breaks .
A．are time for the workers to relax their mind B．make the employees work longer hours C．are for employees to have a quick lunch D．make the workers eat a proper lunch at home
74．In Partnoy's opinion, a fast food lunch .
A．saves a lot of time for a rest B．is better than having no lunch
C．affects people's way of thinking D．makes workers sit down and think
75．What might be the author's purpose in writing the text?
A．To warn us not to eat fast food．B．To introduce Frank Partnoy's opinion．C．To encourage us to work more efficiently．D．To show the importance of a proper lunch．

How to communicate with our parents
Hello, everyone!
I'd like to share with you my ideas about this topic. Parents are the people who love us most, so it's necessary to keep a good relationship with them .H ere are my ideas on how to make it easier to communicate with parents.
First, we should respect and trust our parents. Don't be rude to them even if they have done something wrong. They have experienced more and always try their best to protect us from any dangers. Second, if we often talk with them about our life and experience, we will know each other better. Third, if sometimes we don't agree with our parents' decision, we should try to put ourselves into their shoes and we will soon understand them
That's all. Thank you for listening.
