I remember the first time I met Alfred after years. He was sitting on a bench in the park. He looked very sad and cold. He hadn’t got a coat on and it started to rain. Usually, I don’t like to stop to speak to a stranger who looked like that. His shoes were well-cleaned and his clothes were quite smart, but he did not have an umbrella with him and he was getting wet in the rain. I stopped walking and said to him in a nice voice. “ Are you OK?” he looked up, and was surprised to see me. He cried out. “ Are you …” he couldn’t remember my name. I was also surprised. He was Alfred! “ I’m Tom, Alfred, what are you doing here?” I asked. He did not explain to me, but caught my hand, and asked how my life was like. I told him that I was out of job. I suggested that we go somewhere warm and dry.
So we found a café nearby and continued our conversation. I learned that he married with two children, and his wife was Sherry. I could not believe my ears. Twenty years ago his best friend was Linda, and Sherry was his worst enemy! They often had quarrels ( 爭吵) and fights in the play.
Alfred told me that he became a businessman when he graduated from the school and owned two companies in the city. I asked him why he was sitting in the rain in the park. He said that he had just had a quarrel with Sherry, and acting in the same way as when she was young, threw him out of the door and locked him out.

Mo, the first Nobel winner in literature born and living in China, said he had trouble with the sudden publicity, which put a lot of pressure on him.

"I only hope to return to my writing desk as soon as possible, and I would also like to do well in society anonymously.(無名地)" Mo said. He was bothered by a large number of requests asking him to offer help that took advantage of his fame. " I was upset the first several days after the prize announcement, but then I realized the prize is just like a mirror that reflects various attitudes about my winning, and more, reflects the real me," Mo said. "I still consider myself an ordinary citizen who writes. And presenting quality works is my duty and best way of giving back to society. I'm no superstar," he emphasized(強(qiáng)調(diào)) several times.

Mo believes Chinese literature has achieved much in the past thirty years, and the driving force behind that is not the prize. Writers' creations should not be driven by awards, or criticism, or readers' expectations. Mo said he misunderstood the standards of the academy's selection before he visited Stockholm(斯德哥爾摩) to receive the prize in December.

"I thought they were judging the authors' personality or political features, then I learned the sole standard of their selection is literature itself, which is also deeply based in the Swedish people's long-established practice of reading a large number of books," Mo said.

During the forum, established Chinese and Australian writers discussed subjects as diverse as tradition and modernity, the local and the universe and cultural inclusiveness. And they will also read works to each other and the readers. The writers communication will further promote(推動) Chinese writers to a global audience.

Australian Ambassador(大使) to China Frances Adamson agreed. "It's a milestone (驅(qū)動)of literary exchanges between the two countries, who are longtime friends," Adamson said.

1. Mo is the first Nobel winner in ______ born and living in China.

A.literature.         B.peace            C.physics           D.chemistry

2.When did Mo receive the prize?

A.In September      B.In October         C.In November       D.In December

3.What did Mo say about himself after he got the prize?

A.He considered he was a superstar.

B.He still considered he was an ordinary citizen who writes.

C.He considered he was famous all over the world.

D.He considered he became rich.

4.Who is Frances Adamson?

A.He is the French Ambassador to China       B.He is the Canadian Ambassador to China

C.He is the Australian Ambassador to China     D.He is the American Ambassador to China

5.Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A.Mo didn’t hope to return to my writing desk B.Mo was always upset after the prize .

C.The driving force behind writers is the prize   D.Mo’s success will promote Chinese writers.
