Guo Jingming is thought to be one of the most successful young writers in China at present.
He was born in 1983. He started his writing in high school when he won the first prize in a national writing competition in 2001. His first book, City of Fantasy, came out soon after the competition and went on to sell more than 1.5 million copies.
Almost all Guo’s novels include a shy hero who gets good grades. He mostly writes about the sad feelings of his young characters. These teenagers deal with loneliness by sitting alone for long hours under trees and on tops of houses. “Xiaosi (Guo’s nickname), I will always be with you!” a reader wrote in Guo’s blog.
“My main goal is to tell the story well and make everyone like it,” Guo said.
In fact, Guo is seen more as an idol (偶像) than as a writer. His handsome appearance, cross-dressing and strange actions make newspapers pay more attention to himself than his books. Many fans can’t wait to get his autograph whenever they have chance to meet him.
But today he faces more threat (威胁) from other younger writers. During the past few years, we have seen the rise of a group of teenage writers, sometimes called the “Post-90s”. However, Guo seems to have plans to meet his rivals (竞争者).

A. 赠书

B 易读度★☆☆☆☆
I’m Shari. I have no vision (视力) at all out of one eye, and only a little out of the other one. When you can see something at 60 metres, I can only see it at 2 metres. I don’t have much vision, but it’s OK!
I can ride a bike and a scooter (滑板车) if I have a friend with me. I taught myself to ride a bike. I learned on a very little bike, so it didn’t hurt too much when I fell
down. The scooter was a Christmas gift when I was 7. When I first rode it, I fell off into one of the desks in my house. That really hurt!
My friends are OK about my vision. Next year I’m going to Avonside Girls’High School. Lots of my friends are going there, too. I’m looking forward to it! They already have two students like me at the school. In the first year I will learn German for a full year. I will learn history for half a year, and I hope to learn Braille (布拉耶盲字) for the other half year, because I have to continue with my Braille lessons.
I don’t have any ideas about what to do when I leave school. But I’m young and I want to go to Egypt one day — I really like history and it has such a long history. I hope to do something different!

It was a great day for American girl D’Zhana Simmons when she got a new heart. However, her dream died when the new heart started not to work properly. The doctors had to take it away. She needed another heart transplant (移植). But the doctors couldn’t find a proper heart so soon. Then they came up with an idea — they
would use two machines to keep her blood flowing in her body. After waiting for about four months, D’Zhana had another heart transplant. It was very successful.
When doctors use a man-made heart to keep a patient’s life, they usually leave the patient’s own heart in the body. “She, we b elieve, is possibly one of the youngest that had the machines without her own heart,”one of D’Zhana Simmons’ doctors said.
Living without a heart for 118 days ... that’s great. When a heart transplant doesn’t work, doctors have no time to waste. If they don’t get a new heart or some machines to help the patient, he or she will die. The patient’s life is in their hands. This story once again shows how important the medical world really can be. I hope that one day I will be a doctor. I hope I can be so quick and helpful to my patients. ( )16.
