Long long ago, there was a kind lady. Every day, she baked bread for her family and an extra loaf for any hungry passer-by. She placed the extra bread beside a window.

How can I win a Nobel Prize for writing? Here is the secret from this year’s winner: make it short, keep it real, and work hard.
Canadian author Alice Munro,82,was a 81 the 2013 Noble Prize in the literature(文学). She is known for her short stories about personal relationship of ordinary people, usually women.
Munro was born in a farmer family in Ontario. The family was very poor. Munro did a lot of physical work a 82 a young girl.
But she decided to be a w 83 when she was 12.She turns her hard childhood into great writing ideas.
The story Dear Life, for example, opens with a description of the neighborhood in which Munro grew up.
B 84 , she talked about her poor relationship with her mother in many of her stories, such as Lives of Girls and Women and Friend of My Youth.
Since she p 85 her first book in 1968, Munro has won many awards, with the Nobel Prize as her biggest honor. But Munro doesn’t see h86 as a talented writer.
“I’m the o pposite of a writer wi th a quick gift. I don’t grasp it very readily(轻而易举地) at all, the “it” being whatever I’m trying to do,’ she said.
Do you d 87 of becoming a writer while sadly admitting you are not that talented? Munro has a tip for you: use notebooks and write a lot.
“I have lots of notebooks that contain this terribly clumsy(蹩脚的) writing,” she said .But it helps her sort out her mind. Stories would just be working in my head for so long that when I started to write I was deep into them.”
D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) （12分）
PISA is not the same as pizza, although both words are pronounced the same by Chinese. Pizza, of course, is the tasty Italian dish of crispy bread topped with many wonderful flavors. PISA, on the other hand, is just a test, a reflection of the knowledge you learn in school. And how could that possibly be as flavorful as pizza?!
PISA stands for Programme for International Student Assessment. It’s a test taken every three years by fifteen-year-olds worldwide. It test s students’ ability in math, reading and science.
Last year’s results were just rele ased and they show that Shanghai students are ranked number one in the world. Yes, that’s right! Shanghai students are the best in the world!
Shanghai students are the best because they are also the hardest working. No other students in the world put in as many hours of study, homework and test taking as Shanghai students. And few others feel the stress of schoolwork like shanghai students.
That’s why the Shanghai educa tion authority is encouraging students to step away from their books. From time to time and take up hobbies or join clubs. Schools are setting aside time and providing facilities so that students can follow some personal interests such as photography, art, singing and dancing. They want students to have a little more flavor in their lives.
Doing well on the tests like PISA is important, but developing yourself as a whole person is also important. There is no end to the flavor you can add to pizza, and there should be no limit to the amount of flavors you can add to your own life.
88. Is PISA pronounced that same as pizza by Chinese?

What does traveling mean? Visit, enjoy and discover. Every year hundreds and thousands of people come to the UK. And London, the capital city, is usually their first stop. What can they see? What can they experience !
Getting around in London is not difficult. There is the underground train, the oldest in the world, or the traditional double-decker bus. A boat trip along the River Thames takes you to the Tower of London.
Going around the city center on foot is easy. The maps in the streets will show you what is around you in five-minute walk. You can get a great view of the city from 135 meters up on a huge wheel, the London Eye. Look across the river and you will see the Houses of Parliament and the famous clock tower, Big Ben.
There are over 240 museums in the capital, but the two most popular are in South Kensington and cost nothing to get into: In the Natural History Museum, the key word is Big. Next to it is the Science Museum, It has those great British inventions, the history of flight and exploration (探索) of space.

According to one story the idea for making the first teddy bear came from a newspaper cartoon drawn in 1904. This cartoon showed President Teddy Roosevelt on a hunting trip refusing to shoot (射杀)a young bear. The young bear became a symbol for Teddy Roosevelt.
Morris Michtom owned a small candy and toy store in New York City. He and his wife made many of the toys they sold. When he saw the cartoon, he had a wonderful idea. He decided to make a toy bear with eyes and legs and arms that moved. The bear was put in the store window next to a copy of the cartoon Mr. Michtom called it "Teddy's Bear". Many of these bears were sold. The bears became so popular that Mr. Michtom thought he might need President Roosevelt' permission to use his name. He wrote tothe president and sent him a 'Teddy Bear". The president answered, saying that Mr. Michtom could use his name.
Mr. Michtom borrowed money so that he could make thousands of toy bears. His company became the Ideal Toy Corporation. Today this is one of the biggest toy companies in the United States
