Time flies! This is a third year that I have been in this school.In the past two and a half years, our school had organized many activities.What impressed me best was an activity called “Learning to Farm”.In an autumn afternoon, we were sent to a farm which we learned to plant potatoes.Having been in the city for so a long time, we were so happy to go to the countryside.After divided into 3 groups, we started to work.Some students cut potatoes into pieces; some dug holes, and the others put the pieces into the hole, put the earth back and pushed them down hard.We continued doing that until all the work was done.Although we were exhausted, but we felt happy on our way back home.

There is an old Spanish Proverb which states, “Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week”.1.I’d say, too many.Our dreams should not, and cannot wait.We have to go for them now! Here’s why.
1. 2.
Nobody likes to talk about death, but the reality is – everybody is going to die at one point.None of us know the day, or the hour.Therefore, today is all we have.Don’t go to your grave with unfulfilled dreams.Make the decision to go after every dream, big or small right now.

Canadian short story writer Alice Munro won the Nobel Prize for Literature.Eighty-two-year-old Munro is only the 13th woman to win the 112-year-old prize.
Munro didn’t publish her first collection of short stories until she was 37 years old, but her stories have always been well-received.Lots of her stories share similar themes and characters, but each story has its own twists and turns.
Even though she’s won Canada’s most famous literary award, the Giller Prize twice, winning the Nobel Prize for Literature is the peak of Munro’s career.“It brings her incredible recognition, both of her and her career, and of the dedication( 投身,奉献 ) to the short story,” said one person.
Along with the well-respected title comes 1.3 million dollars.Munro said everything was “so surprising and wonderful” and that she was “dazed by all the attention and affection that has been coming my way.”
Munro knew she was in the list——she was named the second-most likely person to win this year’s prize, after Haruki Murakami (村上春树)of Japan——but she never thought that she would win.
Munro’s win also represents the long way Canadian writers have come.“When I began writing there was a very small community of Canadian writers and little attention was paid by the world.Now Canadian writers are read, admired and respected around the globe,” Munro said on Thursday.
She is technically not the first Canadian to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, but many like to think that she is.In 1976 Saul Bellow, who was born in Quebec but moved to Chicago when he was still a child, won the prize.Even though he was born in Canada, he is mostly considered to be an American writer.
“This is a win for us all.Canadians, by our very nature, are not very nationalistic,” said Geoffrey Taylor.“But things like this suddenly make you want to find a flag.”
She wasn’t sure if she would keep writing if she won the prize, saying that it would be “nice to go out with a bang.But this may change my mind.”
1.What is the feature of Munro’s stories?
A.They have complicated (复杂的)contents.
B.They have similar story backgrounds.
C.They have specific themes for children.
D.They have the same characters in each book.
2.For Munro, the Nobel Prize is an award for______.
A.her love for Canadian culture
B.her devotion to the short story
C.her special form of writing
D.her career of editing short stories
3.What can you infer from the sixth paragraph?
A.Canadian writers paid little attention to the prize.
B.Canadian writers were respected across the globe.
C.Canadian writers have long been ignored
D.Canadians come a long way to win the prize.
4.What does the passage mainly tell us?
A.How Alice Munro wins the Nobel Prize
B.An introduction to the Nobel Prize in Literature
C.Alice Munro wins the Nobel Prize in Literature
D.A world famous writer, Alice Munro
