Heres the secret from a previous winner: make it short, keep it real, and work hard.Canadian author Alice Munro, 82, was awarded the 2013 Nobel Prize in literature. She is known for her short stories about personal relationships of ordinary people, usually women.Munro was born into a farming family in Ontario. The family was very poor. Munro did a lot of physical work as a young girl. She decided to be a writer at the age of 12. Now Munro turns her hard childhood into great writing ideas. The story Dear Life, for example, opens with a description of the neighborhood in which Munro grew up. Also, she talks about her poor relationship with her mother in many of her stories, such as Lives of Girls and Women and Friend of My Youth.Since she published her first book in 1968, Munro has won many awards, with the Nobel Prize as her biggest honor. But Munro doesnt see herself as a talented(有天赋的) writer.“Im the opposite of a writer with a quick gift. I dont grasp it very easily at all, the it being whatever Im trying to do,” she said.Do you dream of becoming an author while sadly admitting you are not that talented? Munro has a tip for you: use notebooks and write a lot.“I have lots of notebooks that contain(包含) this writing,” she said. But it helps her sort out (整理) her mind. “Stories would just be working in my head for so long that when I started to write I was deep into them.”( ) 56.

According to Alice Munro, those who want to be a writer should _.A. have talent in writingB. write stories as long as possibleC. make up the story with imaginationD. write as much as possibleBWhen I was a little girl, my father loved to play catch (抛接球游戏) with me. I wasnt very good, but he would encourage me. He was always telling me “keep your eye on the ball” as I would not be able to catch even the easiest of throws.uAs I got older, we didnt play catch as much. If I had a problem, I would go to my father to ask for his advice. He would try to joke with me and say “keep your eye on the ball”. We would both laugh because usually that advice did not apply to(适用于) the problem, but he would try to make me smile.vMy father became ill in 1995 when I was 23. As he suffered from a stroke (中风), he could not speak. There werent any more conversations. He could only mouth words, which were sometimes hard to understand. After a while, I seemed to be pretty good at reading his lips (嘴唇), even better than the nurses who were caring for him.During our last conversation, I was telling him about a problem I was having with my then boyfriend. Once again, I could read his lips: “Keep your eye on the ball.” We both smiled.That was the last time I saw my father before he passed away.Since then, when I get into a stressful situation I tell myself “keep your eye on the ball”.( ) 61. At first, by saying “keep your eye on the ball”, the writers father _.A. tells her to be careful while playing catchB. wants to teach her a life lessonC. wants her to work harder in every wayD. laughs at her when she misses the ball( ) 62.

Careless.CFlying is a fast way to travel. But it is a big headache for some people. They cant help worrying about things like, “Is turbulence (颠簸) a bad thing?” or, “Is it dangerous if we dont change our mobile phones to flight mode (飞行模式)?” British newspaper Daily Mail spoke to some experts to answer these questions. They also tell us other interesting things about flying.Is turbulence dangerous?Its scary and uncomfortable. But it is not something you really need to worry about.Turbulence is caused when two groups of air hit one another at different speeds. Wind, thunderstorms (暴风雨) and being close to mountains can be reasons for this.You may feel like turbulence is dangerous, but it wont crash (坠毁) your plane. “Even in extremely rough air (扰动气流), the wings (机翼) are not going to break off,” explained Patrick Smith, an airline pilot, who is also an air travel blogger and author of AskTheP.Why are plane windows round?Round windows are for passenger safety.As the airplane flies higher and higher, the outside atmospheric pressure (气压) gets lower and lower. During the flight, the pressure inside the plane becomes greater than the pressure outside.When this happens, square windows can break. Thats because having different pressures inside and outside puts pressure on the corners of square windows. But rounded corners can spread the pressure through the window.What happens when a phone isnt on flight mode?Some passengers believe mobile phones and tablets need to be turned off because they could bring the plane down. However, this is not true.If you dont change your phone to flight mode, pilots and air traffic controllers may hear unpleasant sounds in their headphones. It also influences radio communications. So its still best to put it on flight mode. ( ) 66. According to Paragraph 1, we learn that the story is going to _.A. show what worries people may have about flyingB. interview some experts about flyingC. give people tips about how to travel by planeD. explain some interesting facts about flying( ) 67. What will happen when there is turbulence?A. People may feel uncomfortable.B. Two planes may hit each other easily.C. It will make the plane drop suddenly.D. It can break off the plane wings.( ) 68. Planes use round windows rather than square ones, because _.A. round windows can spread the pressure B. round windows can add outside pressureC. square windows can lower(降低) the pressure on the windowsD. the corners of square windows are difficult to make( ) 69. What happens if a phone isnt on flight mode?A. The plane will crash.B. Air traffic controllers cant get any information.C. It may influence radio communications.D. It may be noisy in the plane.( ) 70. The passage may be taken from _. A. A story book B. A science magazine C. A guide travel D.
