He likes 4 music very much. He likes playing football, too. After school we often play football in the 5. He is very helpful. We often help each 6.

    Peter is not a Chinese. He is from 7. He comes to Beijing 8 his family. His father is a doctor and his mother is a nurse. They work from Monday 9 Friday.

    The Nobel Prize in literature for 2012(诺贝尔文学奖) is awarded to the Chinese writer Mo Yan. Mo Yan is the first Chinese1to win the world's most important literature prize.

    Mo Yan is a pen name that2“Don't Speak.” The 57-yeat-old author,3 real name is Guan Moye, was born in 1955 and grew up in Gaomi in Shandong Province. His parents were farmers. During China's Cultural Revolution (文化大革命), he left school to work4the age of 12, first in agriculture and later in a factory. In 1976, he5China's People's Liberation Army (中国人民解放军) and began to study literature and write. He was6for his novel Hong Gaoliang Jianzu in 1987. The story happens in the eastern China countryside, which was changed into7languages. That story was later made into a movie by leading Chinese director Zhang Yimou.

    But Mo Yan is not the first Chinese-languages writer to win the Nobel Prize. Chinese-born Gao Xingjian was honoured in 2000, but he left8to  live and work in France in 1987 and became a French citizen(公民).

    The Nobel Prizes include prizes for different kinds of sciences9the Nobel Peace Prize. The Nobel Prizes10given to the winners by the Swedish King every year on the anniversary of Nobel's death.

    One day a lion met a spider, who was just busy making a web. The lion 1 for a while and said, "How clever you are! How did you learn to do that?" The spider answered proudly, "I learned it from my mother."

    The lion watched a longer while. Then he asked the spider, "But why don't you catch your food in the way that I do?"

    "I am just a 2 animal," the spider replied. "I cannot run fast or fly. 3 with my web I can catch flying insects, and I don't even have to run after them."

    The lion then asked, "Could you make a 4 for me? Then I would not have to run after animals either."

    "Sorry," the spider said. "My web can only catch flying insects. But you cannot love 5 them."

    The lion was angry with the spider. She did not have to work 6 for food. And she would not help him get his 7. So he hit the web and broke it. But the spider jumped 8 the lion's back and bit him.

    "Now you will 9 me," said the spider as she jumped into the grass. "Think carefully 10 you do something bad to other animals. Some of us may be small, but we are very smart."

    The lion tried to scratch his back, but he could not reach where the spider bit. It itched(发痒)for several days. He remembered the smart spider for a long time.
