He has a good temper, very easy-going."A two hour ride from the port city of Qingdao is Dongbei village in the city of Gaomi, where Mo Yan spent his first twenty years of his life. Now, the city is being filled with journalist from all of the country’s major presses. Mo Yan’s older brother, and his 90 year old father still live here.Guan Yifan, Mo Yan's father, said, "I feel very happy for him. No need to congratulate him. Happy is enough."Most journalists are interested in the novelist’s childhood. His brother says Mo Yan used to be the youngest student of his elementary school and has been a fan of literature since childhood.Guan Moxin, Mo Yan's brother, said, "He liked to read novels very much. Like the four literary classics of ancient China, and modern novels like "Tracks in the Snowy Forest", and "Song of Youth". We scrambled for books sometimes. I once hid a book on top of the pig’s pen for fear that he would find it and take it away. He eventually found it but bumped into a beehive and was stung by bees."Those who are familiar with the writer’s novels will find some connections between the narrations and these scenes of the village.Mo Yan has kept his low-key attitude towards his winning the Nobel Prize. Mo Yan said, "My winning of the prize might ignite more people’s interest in literature. That’s a good thing.

There is more life in it now than there ever wa s. But it seems that “Village life” is dead. Gone for ever. It began to declin e about a hundred years ago. When manygirls left home to go into service in town many miles away, and men also left ho me in increasingnumber in search of work, and home was where work was. There are still a number of people alive today who can remember what “village life” meant in the early years of the last century. It meantfinding your entertainment in the village of within walking distance of it. It meant housewives tied to the home all day and every day. It meant going to bed early to save lamp-oil and coal.Then came the First World War and the Second World War. After each war, new ideas, new attitudes, new trades and occupations were brought to villagers. The long-established order of society was no longer taken for granted. Electricit y and the motorcar were steadily operating tomake “village life” and “town life” almost alike. Now with the highly develo ped science andtechnology and high- level social welfare for all, there is no point whatever in talking any longerabout “village life”. It is just life, and that a better life.Finally, if we have any doubts about the future, or about the many changes which we haveseen in our lives, we have only to look in at the school playground any mid-morn ing; or see the children as they walk home in little groups. Obviously these c hildren are better fed, better clothed, better educated, healthier, prettier and happier than any generation of children that ever before walked the village s treet.61.By saying that that village is not dead, but “village life” is dead, the writer suggests that .A. those who talk of the village as being “dead” are wrongB. the two statements are against each otherC. “village life” today is rather uninterestingD. “village life” today is on longer like what it used to be62.

The expression “ there is no point whatever in talking about …” in paragraph 3 means that.A. there is on end to the talking about …B. it is harmful to talk about…C. it is not meaningless to talk about …D. th ere is no reason for talking about …65. What is the writer’s attitude toward “village life” according to the passage?A. He is fond of traditional “ village life”.B. He feels sad about the disappearing of “ village life”.C. He thinks “ village life” is changing better now.D. He doesn’t show any attitude toward “village life”.CCultural ComedyIt’s not so surprising that US First Lady Michelle Obama has called Modern Family her favorite TV series. September saw the fun, heartwarming sitcom take home the Best Comedy Series award at the 2013 Emmys. This is the fourth year in a row that the series has won that title. On Oct. 9, the 100th episode(集) of the comedy aired. The show features three families who move in and out of each other’s lives. The fir st oneis a typical American family: the working dad Phil, stay-at-home mom Claire and their three children.The second family is made up of Jay, his young Hispanic(西班牙的) wife and her son Manny. Jay, 65, is the father of Claire. He is older than his wife and everyone mistakes the two for father and daughter.The third family is made up of gay(同性恋) couple, Mitchell and Cameron, and their adopted daughter Lily. Mitchell is Jay’s son.On Sept. 25, the show started its fifth season, in which Claire makes a big change —she returns to work. The other big storylines include Jay’s stepson Manny starting high school and Mitchell and Cameron looking for a primary school for Lily. Will things go right for the three families?Modern Family has no spies, aliens or vampires(吸血鬼); it’s just about ordinary people. So what has made it such a hit?According to the Los Angeles Times, it’s “presentation of contemporary US society” contributes to its success. The show presents what a typical “nuclear family” is like in the US: t wo parents, a big house and two or three children. Phil and Claire have different but fun personalities. When there’s fight between their kids, Phil wants to be the “cool dad” while traditional mom Claire lives by the saying “ an eye for an eye’. She alway s forces Phil to punish the troublemaker.The show also touches upon developments in interracial (种族间的) relation in the US by focusing on Hispanic communities. This makes sense, as “by 2040, America will no longer be a majority-white country, with the fastest growth rate among Hispanics… Today, one in seven marriages are interracial, ” BBC pointed out.In addition, according to BBC， 40 percent of Americans say they have a gay friend or relative. By including Mitchell and Cameron, Modern Family reflects the changing status of gay people in the US。
