Writing a good story is no easy task. What’s the secret? Mo Yan, a Nobel Prize winner in literature, believes his success comes from a large amount of reading.
Mo was born into a farming family in a village in Shandong province. He grew up listening to folk (民间的) stories about gods, spirits and foxes. Those stories later became the inspiration(灵感) for Mo’s writing.
Mo left school at the age of 12 and started to work in the fields. Although he was tired after his daily hard work, Mo was always hungry for books. However, there were very few in the village. He read his elder brother’s textbooks and even dictionaries. He helped others with farm work in exchange for books.
After Mo left his hometown and joined the army in 1976, he began to read widely, including works by Lu Xun and many other famous writers.
He studied from these writers but did not copy them. Instead, he developed his own style. “I grew up in an environment filled with folk culture. It enters my novels whenever I pick up a pen. This has affected, even decided, my style.” Mo told a group of reporters in his hometown shortly after he won the award in 2012.
As the first Chinese citizen to win a Nobel Prize in literature, the organization spoke highly of his works. They described his writing as a mixture of fantasy and reality, combining historical and social perspectives (看法).

I did very badly at school. My headmaster thought I was useless and when I was 14, he said, “You’re n 小题1:  going to be anything but a failure.”
After five years of poor jobs, I fell in love with a very nice g 小题2: . But her mother said to me, “You’ve failed in everything you’ve ever done. You can’t give any happiness to my d 小题3: !” It was the disappointing thing that could have changed me later. I d 小题4: to do something positive about my life, because I wanted to show her that what people said about me was w 小题5: .
So I tried hard at my writing and went to college. My first book came out while I was at college. After college I w 小题6:  during the day and went to evening classes at college. Later, I gave up that job to use full time to write. And then I was offered a part-time job as a t 小题7:  at a high school. I began to feel p小题8:  of my self – there was once a poor boy who’d left school early, now teaching at a key high school. My w小题9:  career took off when I had my own writing style.
Now, I’m rich and f 小题10:, because I am often on TV and many people know me. But what does that mean? I just wish all the people who have looked down on me had said, “I believe in you. You’ll succeed.”

“Your beliefs become your thoughts; your thoughts become your words; your words become your actions; your actions become your habits; your habits become your values; your values (价值)become your destiny(命运).”
The above words were said by Mohandas Handhi(默罕默德. 甘地). From these words, we can learn the importance of values.
Since values are so i  小题1:   in our life, then what values should we learn so as to live a meaningful life?
Love --- By love, it doesn’t necessarily mean romantic love. I  小题2: , it could mean kindness. There are many ways for us to s  小题3:  kindness to others. For example, we can give a hand to people who are in trouble, or we can say some encouraging words to those who are sad.
Responsibility --- Responsibility seems to be a huge word for middle school students.      However, we should learn to take responsibility for our actions. We should not be selfish (自私的) or think just for o  小题4:  .
Honesty --- “Honesty is the best policy,” but how many of us actually believe that? As we grow up, we find it easier to tell l  小题5:  . But we should remember that though we may not always be caught, those demons(恶魔) of dishonesty will go with us for the r 小题6:   of our life.
Courage --- Courage means we should be willing to admit our mistakes and face difficulties and challenges w 小题7:   fear.
Let’s keep these values in mind and live a meaningful life.

“Chinese style road crossing” became a hot topic in China from the end of last year. Now, many cities have started to punish these jaywalkers (乱闯马路的人).
“Chinese style road crossing” means crossing roads without thinking about traffic lights, as long as you are part of a crowd.
Beijing Traffic Management Bureau (北京交通管理局) announced that from April 6, people who do not wait for the green light to cross the road will receive a fine of 10 yuan. Officials from the bureau said that using the diagonal (对角线) to cross the road is also against the rules. Walkers should walk in an “L” shape.
Besides Beijing, many places have also taken steps to stop “Chinese style road crossing”. Provinces such as Sichuan, Shanxi and Zhejiang have already started to fine jaywalkers 5 to 50 yuan since last year.
Road traffic deaths top the list of deaths from non-natural causes in China, Xinhua reported. The action to punish behaviors that go against traffic rules calls on people to realize the importance of traffic safety.
However, many people complain that the red lights last too long. “But as long as the design of traffic lights is the same, everyone should follow the rulers. Otherwise the country will lose its order,” said People’s Daily.
Some cities have also paid attention to the problem. Beijing Traffic Management Bureau, for example, said it would not only focus on punishment, but also improve road safety facilities (设施), such as fixing traffic lights in a more proper way and building overpasses (天桥).
小题1:Was the topic “Chinese style road crossing” very popular last year?
小题2:What is the right way for walkers to cross the road?
小题3:How are jaywalkers in Sichuan punished?
小题4: Why is it necessary to punish those who go against traffic rules?
小题5: Besides punishment, what else do some cities do to solve the problem?
小题6: What’s your opinion on the action to punish jaywalkers?
