The breaking news of Mo Yan's Nobel Prize in Literature on Thursday evening soon aroused public curiosity of the 57-year-old Chinese writer: Why was he favored by the Swedish Academy?

Less than half an hour after the announcement from Stockholm, Mo's works turned to “sold out" status at China's major online book sellers．

One lucky buyer wrote in an online comment: "Rushed to purchase, but to my shame, I have not read any of his novels．”

Although Mo was entitled one of the top China's literature awards before the Nobel Prize, he is not the most popular novelist in China, in either the book market or in reputation．

Chinese media seemed to be shocked as some journalists were reported to be on their way overnight to Gaomi City of East China's Shandong Province, Mo's birthplace where he stayed with his family．

Born in 1955 into a rural family, Mo dropped out of school and became a farmer when he was a teenager． He joined the army and devoted himself to writing． Mo's novels were translated into several languages．

For more than a century, Nobel Prize has been regarded by the world as recognition to an individual or even a nation's cultural and scientific advances．

“I think the reason why I could win the prize is that my works present lives with unique Chinese characteristics, and they also tell stones from a viewpoint of common human beings, which transcends（超越）differences of nations and races," Mo said on Thursday evening to Chinese journalists．

Mo also said many folk arts originated from his hometown, such as paper cuts and traditional new year paintings, have inspired and influenced his novels．

Mo's prize may give powerful encouragement to the country's writers as the more reflective of Chinese lives their works are, the more possible they arise as world literature．

1.From this passage we know that the news of Mo Yan's Nobel Prize in Literature was .

A．a(chǎn) shock to online booksellers

B．curiosity to the Swedish Academy

C．contrary to the belief of the Chinese media

D．beyond the expectation of most Chinese people

2.The "one lucky buyer" mentioned in the third paragraph admitted that he _ ．

A． had not yet read Mo Yan's novels

B． had written an online comment

C． regretted not reading Mo Yan's Novels

D． failed to buy a copy of Mo Yan's novels

3.The underlined word "they" in the last paragraph refers to .

A． the Chinese writersB．the Chinese writers' works

C． the Chinese livesD．Mo Yan's novels

4.What can we infer from this passage?

A．Mo Yan will win another Nobel Prize in the near future．

B．Folk arts originated from Mo Yan's hometown will also be awarded Nobel Prize．

C．Nobel Prize will no longer regarded by the world as recognition to an individual．

D．Mo Yan's success will encourage the Chinese writers to win more Nobel Prizes．

JANE AUSTEN(1775—1817)is often regarded as the greatest of English women novelists on the strength of her six completed novels．Known particularly for their social comedy and accurate description of human relationships，they are still as widely read today as they have ever been．

The seventh child of a country priest(牧師)，Jane Austen was born on 16 December 1775 at Steventon in Hampshire．Her father ,the Reverend George Austen，was an intelligent and sensitive man who encouraged Jane in her love of reading．From an early age she was familiar with the works of Henry Fielding，Sir Walter Scott，Richardson，F(xiàn)rances Burney and the poet George Crabbe．Her early attempts at writing include burlesques(滑稽作品)of popular romances．When her father retired in 1801 the family moved to Bath，which was later to feature in her novel Northanger Abbey(published in 1818)．After his death in 1805 the family moved first to Southampton and then in 1809 to Chawton in Hampshire．where Jane Austen is known to have written her last three novels：Mansfield Park(1814)，Emma(1816)and Persuasion(also published in 1818)．Although her other novels were written much earlier ,it was not until 1811 that Sense and Sensibility was first published．Pride and Prejudice，which followed in1813,features Jane Austen’own favourite hero，Elizabeth Bennet．

Surrounded by her lively and warm family and wholly buried herself in her writing and housework，Jane Austen led a life often known for its lack of events．She did，however ,attract several admirers and even accepted a proposal of marriage from one admirer-only to change her mind the following morning．Jane Austen’s independent life often seems reflected in her novels，which seem to display the world in miniature(縮影)．Sir Walter Scott praised Jane Austen for‘that unique touch which makes ordinary commonplace things and characters interesting’，while Somerset Maugham claimed that she had at her command ‘the most precious gift a novelist can possess’s that of keeping the reader’s interest．Jane Austen died in 1817．

Smart home applications can share all kinds of helpful information with homeowners. There appears a new housing platform which can detect the stress on electricity — and the stress on the heart.

“There is a growing population of elderly people, and there are statistics to show that more and more of them are going to live alone in the home,” said Johann Siau, a senior lecturer at the University of Hertfordshire in the U.K., who was leading the InterHome project.

The system was originally designed to provide remote access (遠(yuǎn)程訪問) to a house so owners could be more energy-efficient. In a small type of the system, set-in controller devices connect securely to the Internet. The owner can then monitor them with a cell phone or computer. User feedback helps the system adapt to routines, saving on electricity.

While thinking about responding to user behavior and an increasingly elderly population, the researchers decided to add wristband (手腕帶) technology that senses important organs of the body such as body temperature and pulse, Siau said. “If someone were to fall, it would detect the fall and it would immediately start the monitor of the pulse to see if the person has gone into shock (休克),” he said.

The wristband communicates with the home system wirelessly. Data from the band can be securely transmitted to the home network and accessed by authorized users. “We’re working on trying to reduce it to a level where it could potentially be a wrist-sized product,” Siau said.

But he warned that the technology presented new challenges. “When you start using that on a larger scale, you have issues of privacy or security,” he said. Siau said the InterHome home system isn’t intended to invade privacy. “We’re thinking about the elderly people who are living alone with no one looking after them,” he said. “Hopefully this will be able to decrease some concerns and possibly save a few lives.”

1.The system was first designed for a house owner to .

A. keep watch on his house

B. keep his house safe

C. monitor the elderly people inside

D. save electricity

2.The wristband technology is used in the system to .

A. sense important organs of a person

B. keep an old man from falling

C. get the medical information of a sick person

D. record a person’s daily activities

3.The researchers are now trying to make the wristband .

A. more sensitive

B. be connected with the Internet

C. available for common people

D. suitable to wear on the wrist

4.What challenges will the new technology bring according to Siau?

A. The wristband can be large and expensive.

B. The wristband will get false information of a person.

C. It will not be used in the proper way.

D. It will bring inconvenience to the old people.
