Every year, when the Nobel Prize winner list is made public, there are some certain winners who are labeled as unexpected and surprised. This year, as an American musician, Bob Dylan won the Nobel Prize in Literature. Undoubtedly, he made full expressions of that label as he is the first musician winning this prize.

On the contrary, the modern Japanese writer Murakami Haruki felt sad again even though there is strong support for him. As a favorite candidate(候选人), Murakami Haruki just narrowly missed the Nobel Prize again. Luckily, he is very positive—- readers are the most important and it doesn't matter whether winning a prize or not.

And Nobel Prize awards the words(授予颁奖词) for Bob Dylan—-for having created new poetic expressions in the great American song tradition.

Several times each year the Queen gives afternoon tea parties at which guests are served tiny cakes filled with cream from her own cows. Cakes and sandwiches are bought in by footmen, yet you never see the Queen touch a thing. She

simply sits beside a big silver plate, pouring cups of tea for everyone and carefully avoiding the cakes.

At cocktail parties the Queen moves from group to group, chatting informally, and manages to make one glass of diet drink to last a whole evening. Tours abroad are difficult because hosts seem to believe the warmth of their welcome must be shown with wonderful state banquets(宴). But the Queen has perfected the art of appearing to enjoy her meal without actually eating much. During one visit to the Pacific islands of Tonga, a specially-prepared dinner was set up in   a hut made of wood and bamboo leaves. Deep holes were dug in the ground, filled with hot stones and baby pigs, and the pigs were slowly cooked with dry heat over several days. The Queen looked uneasily at her plate when she discovered a   whole roast(烤) pig was her serving.

Then she became uneasy when a turkey, some meat, bananas and an apple were also carried in for each guest. So she depended on her old favourite trick of talking with her host, King Tupou IV, carrying on a warm conversation. At the same time she pushed her food around her plate and only ate a piece of turkey and some fruit.

Reporters traveling with her have noticed that the Queen will sometimes seem so interested in a foreign leader's political(政治的) chat that she simply never has time to finish a meal before it is time to get up and make her speech. She will lift her fork, then put it down again to make another point, leaving almost all of her meal untouched.

On 28 of March Richard Byrd stood outside the small house. He shook hands with the menwho were leaving. They were heading back to the main camp on the coast of Antarctica (南极洲).

But something did go wrong. Byrd was burning the fuel for4 . But the fumes (有毒气体)were not leaving the house. Slowly he was being poisoned(中毒). On May 31 he broke down. 

When he came to,he made himself into his sleeping bag. Three days later he5 it was a Sunday. The men would be6 his radio message. Byrd moved hard out of bed and 7 the call. He didn't want the men to know how 8 he was. It was too dangerous for them to come to save him. 

By will-power alone,Byrd managed to stay alive. He was so9 that he could hardly walk. But he forced himself to do the basics. He10 food and made myself eat. He took11 of weather and sent radio messages. But by late June,the men12 that something was wrong. Most of the time,Byrd's messages made no sense. 

On August 11Demas and two others reached the base camp. They13 recognized (认出) Byrd. He was very thin and looked terrible. Byrd14 them and then fell to the ground. The men had arrived in time. After two months of care,Byrd's good15 returned. He and his men worked together again.

A student walks into the teacher's office with his heavy schoolbag slowly and looks worried. "What's happening?" the teacher asks. He tells a lot of small things that make him really unhappy. Then the teacher stops working and decides to do something to help the little boy.

He asks the student to get a glass of water and some salt* from a box. The teacher asks the student to put the salt into the glass of water and drink it.

"How does it taste*?"the teacher asks.

"It doesn't taste good."the student answers.

The teacher doesn't say anything else, but asks the student to get the same amount* of salt and go with the teacher to a nearby lake.

"Put the salt into the lake,"the teacher says. The student does what the teacher says.

"Now, taste the water from the lake,"the teacher says.

The student gets some water from the lake with his hands and tastes, the teacher asks,"How does it taste?"

"Fresh and a bit sweet,"the student answers quickly.

"Do you taste the salt?"the teacher asks.

"No,"the student shakes his head.

The teacher sits beside the student,"The pain* of life is just like salt—no more, no less.

However, how salty it tastes depends* on the container* you put the pain in."

"How do you feel now?"asks the teacher.

The student looks at the teacher with a big smile. He feels much better now.

"Thank you for giving me such a lesson. I think I will never forget the taste of them and learn to be a lake."

Martin is a boy full of questions. He asks questions all day long and{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(hope) to get the answers at once. 

One morning, he looked up at the sky{#blank#}2{#/blank#}asked, "What makes the day? What makes the night? And how?"

"The earth travels around the sun. It turns to face the sun to make the day and turns away from the sun to make the night, "said{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(he) father. "Now please, will you go and play?

But the boy didn't want{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(play). He looked up, down, and all around, and said, I can't feel the earth turning. Why?"

"The earth is so big. We're too small to feel it turn. "Dad replied in a much{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(loud)voice. "Now please, will you go and play{#blank#}6{#/blank#}a moment?"

Martin tried. He played with some{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(toy), and then studied the pictures of the sun and the earth, but questions were still everywhere!

At bedtime, while his mother{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(tell) him a story, Martin couldn't help asking. "{#blank#}9{#/blank#} can see the sun now?
