The win makes Mo Yan the first Chinese citizen to win the Nobel in its history. Informed of his win, the author, who was having dinner at home, was “overjoyed and scared".Born in 1955 to parents who were farmers, Mo Yan－a pen name for Guan Moye，grew up in Gaomi in Shandong province in eastern China. At the age of 12, he left school to work, first in agriculture, later in a factory. In 1976 he joined the army and during this time began to study literature and writing.He published his first book in 1981, but found literary success in 1987 with Hong GaoliangJiazu, which was successfully filmed in the same year, directed by a famous Chinese director Zhang Yimou. In his writing, Mo Yan draws on his youthful experiences and on settings in the province of his birth and his works show the life of Chinese people as well as the country's unique culture and folk customs. Mo Yan is known as a prolific（多产的）writer. In addition to his novels, he has published many short stories and essays on various topics. Despite his social criticism, he is seen in his homeland as one of the most famous contemporary authors. Dozens of his works have been translated into English, French, Japanese and many other languages.The awarding ceremony was held on December 10.The winner won a medal, a personal diploma and a cash award of about $l million.25.

The increases in Latin America and Europe were similar. However, the most worrying statistic is the increase in the number of overweight children. In America, almost 33 percent of children under five are overweight. In some parts of Europe, the rate is almost 30 percent. Even developing countries have problems. In Egypt, Chile and Armenia, for example, the rate is over 5 percent.The problem is the change in our diets combined with the change in our lifestyles. We used to eat whole grains, vegetables, and fruit. Now we eat foods that contain a lot of fat and sugar. Experts(专家) say that it isn't surprising that people eat too much of the wrong foods. Everywhere we look there are advertisements for high-calorie, high-fat foods. These foods are low in nutritionbut also low in cost. In other words, they may not be good for us, but they are really cheap. Some experts call this a toxic-food(有毒的食品) environment. Most of us do not realize this unhealthy environment. Therefore, we believe if we are fat, it's our responsibility. This is not completely true.Today, many food companies are focusing on developing countries. In 1998, one soft-drink company told its employees that "Africa is a land of chance for us." The largest American fast-food company opens five new restaurants every day; four of them are located outside the United States.It is terrible to think that we may soon live in a world where everyone eats fast food and drinks soda. However, it is not unavoidable. Governments should educate their people about the dangers of eating the wrong food. This is particularly important for tomorrow's adults.29.

What is the text mainly about?A. Advertisements and life.B. Being overweight and its reasons.C. Modern lifestyles and their effects.D. Being overweight and the environment.DNowadays，parents worry a lot because their children spend hours and hours in front of the TV screen.Because this doesn’t happen to only one specific family，many experts warn us that there can be some serious effects of children watching violence (暴力）on television.Children who become addicted(上瘾的) to TV sit down and turn on the TV as soon as they get home.Although they have lots of homework，they become absorbed in TV programs.Since they spend tons of time watching TV，they have less time to enjoy real life activities such as playing with friends，playing outdoor sports，or enjoying other kinds of entertainment.There are too many violent scenes on TV.Some experts say there are 25 acts of violence per hour on TV.In addition，there are many experiments by psychologists which show how TV violence influences children.Finally，people worry that children tend to imitate what they watch onTV and may start to behave more violently.What should be done? First of all，the government should regulate TV violence.It should also encourage people to invent and develop new technology which can block（阻止）violent scenes from the programs children watch.For example，with a rating system(分级制度) and the V－chip，unfit scenes of violence and sex can be blocked out.Second，parents should monitor what their children watch.At the same time，they should make their children interested in real life activities.Then when the children start to spend more time playing with friends or reading books，parents can stop their monitoring.It is a fact that there is more violence on TV today than there was ten years ago.Moreover，violent incidents occur more frequently in real life.It’s time to realize how harmful watching TV violence is，and i t’s time to keep our children from watching violence.32．What experts really worry is that _____.A．children spend too much time watching TVB．TV violence has a bad influence on childrenC．children become addicted to TV programsD．children have less time to do their homework33．The author explain how the government should control TV violence by ____.A．giving an example B．giving a definitionC．making a comparison D．presenting research findings34．What does the underlined word “imitate” in Paragr aph 4 most probably mean？____ A．Explain.B．Copy.
