I am my mother's third child. When I was born, nurses took me from the room before she could see me. Her doctor gently explained that my left arm was 41 , below the elbow (肘部). Then he gave her some 42 : "You'd better not treat her any 43 from the other girls. Demand more." And she 44 !
Even before my father left us, my mother had to go back to work to 45 our family. There were five of us girls in our family and we all had to 46 . Once when I was about seven, I came out of the 47 , whining(發(fā)牢騷), "Mom, I can't peel potatoes. I only have one hand."
Mom never looked up from sewing. "You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes," she told me. " And don't ever use that as a(n) 48 for anything again!"
Of course I could peel potatoes-with my good hand, while holding them down with my 49 arm. There was always a 50 , and Mom knew it. She'd say, "If you try hard 51 , you can do anything."
In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel rod (桿) to the next. When it was my turn, I 52 my head. Some kids behind me 53 . I went home crying.
When she got off work the next afternoon, she 54 me back to school. On the deserted playground, Mom looked carefully at the bars.
"Now, 55 up with your right arm," she advised. She stood by 56 I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until I could hook (鉤住) the bar with my other elbow. Day after day we practiced, and she 57 me for every rung (梯級) I reached.
I'll never forget the next time my class lined up at the monkey bars. Crossing the rungs, I looked down at the kids who'd 58 me. Now they were standing with their mouth open.
It was that way with everything: 59 doing things for me, or excusing me, my mother insisted I find a way to do them myself. Sometimes, when I 60 I can't handle things, I see her smile again. She had the heart to face anything. And she taught me I could, too.

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 Literature Prize is a very important literature prize, but not the top award．It represents the opinions of the jury（評審團 ）．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．

When talking with young Swedish students, Mo Yan showed respect for Chinese authors that he learned writing from, particularly Shen Congwen, who was twice nominated（提名）for the Nobel Prize.
“Lu Xun, Lao She, Mao Dun and Shen Congwen, they are more qualified（有資格的）for the Nobel Prize than me,” he said,. Among the writers he learned from, he said he especially felt close to Shen Congwen, as they have similar life experiences.
Both of them left school early and did not get formal education. Shen quit after high school and Mo only finished the fifth grade. They both joined the army after school. “ We both learned from the book of life,” said Mo.
The themes of their writing are also similar. Both writers have their hometown as the theme and root of their writings. Shen’works are mostly about his hometown, Xiangxi, and most of Mo’s stories are set in his hometown, Gaomi, in Shandong Province.
Mo said he also learned from Shen how to deal with characters in a fiction. Unlike most Chinese writers, Shen has a humanistic（人文主義的） touch towards all of his characters. Said Mo, “In his works, there are no particularly bad person or good person. Even gangsters（匪徒） and thieves have their humane（仁慈的）side,” he said.
“I try to use the same approach in my writing. It shows the ability of a novelist when he treats all the characters as humans,” he said.
Mo said he also learned Lu Xun’s depth and Lao She’s humor. “They are all my teachers, and I am the student,” he said. “I feel ashamed from my heart that teachers did not get the prize, but the student got it.”
【小題1】Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the similarity between Mo Yan and Shen Congwen?
| A．Writing themes | B．Sense of humor |
| C．Life experiences | D．Approaches in writing |
| A．They both love reading throughout their life. |
| B．They both earned their living by writing books. |
| C．They both got nutrition（營養(yǎng)）from life. |
