(原创)GAOMI, Shandong, October 11(Xinhua) —Chinese writer Mo Yan said on Thursday that he was “very surprised” at winning the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Speaking to reporters at a hotel in his hometown Gaomi City in east China’s Shandong Province, 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 Prize in Literature 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 Prize in Literature 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 Red Sorghum, which was later adapted into a film by director Zhang Yimou. (347W)

(2017·长沙模拟)
In America, Virginia Beach has all the elements of a classic seaside resort: brilliant beaches, a lively boardwalk, plenty of restaurants and nightspots, and amusement rides sure to appeal to kids. Many believe Virginia Beach is at its best in the off-season, when the town is less crowded but the weather is still mild.
Meanwhile, some safety tips should be followed, enjoying the happiness and excitement the beach offers.
The number one safety tip concerns ocean safety: pay attention to Flag conditions posted on the lifeguard stands. Lifeguards post a red flag to warn when the ocean water is dangerous. Take them seriously! Tourists from land-locked regions are particularly easily attracted by the magic of the waves. However, a calm ocean can become risky without warning. Make sure you swim near a lifeguard. Swimming without lifeguards’ protection is almost five times as great as drowning at a beach with lifeguards.
Never swim alone. Many drownings involve single swimmers. When you swim with someone else, if one of you has a problem, the other may be able to get help, including signaling for assistance from others.
Don’t fight the current. The facts show that some 80% of rescues by lifeguards at ocean beaches are caused by currents. These currents are formed by surf and gravity, because once surf pushes water up the slope of a beach, gravity pulls it back. This can create concentrated rivers of water moving offshore. If you are caught in a rip current, don’t fight it by trying to swim directly to shore. Instead, swim parallel to shore until you feel the current relax, then swim to shore. Most rip currents are narrow and a short swim parallel to shore will help bring you to safety. (289W)
6. When coming to Virginia Beach, people cannot enjoy the happiness of .
A. walking on the road made of wood

A. after autumn school term beginning
B. in the summer vacation
C. during the Christmas holiday
D. in the cold winter
8. Swimming in the sea you’d better not swim .
A. with a friend
B. within the sight of the lifeguard
C. with the current
D. as far as you like
9. From the passage, we can know .
A. one in five persons swimming in the sea is drowned
B. if one with a lifeguard were drowning, five persons without lifeguards would be drowning
C. some 80% people drowning by the currents are rescued by lifeguards
D. some 20% drowning by the currents are rescued by lifeguards
