For as long as I can remember, Grandma's plentiful tomato garden has been a sign of summer's end. Each September, just as the decreased heat of the sun suggests cooler days, Grandma requests my help in her tomato garden. She convinces me she cannot pick tomatoes without my youthful eyes and quick mind. She says we need to examine each tomato and agree on its readiness for picking. While Grandma's request for my help in the tomato garden is always the same, her desire for my help seems to increase each year.
Grandma has eyes for finding even the tomatoes hidden by undergrowth and other tomatoes. I, however, just turn circles looking for the ones I think Grandma will like. I spot what looks like a ripe tomato, head in its direction, and then get sidetracked by another that appears to be equally ripe. I usually end up watching Grandma and trying to stay out of her way, which seems the only way my eyes and mind are useful.

I already know it will end up in the basket with the pile of others Grandma has carefully chosen. However, Grandma acts as if she needs a final look to be sure. She calls me to her side. kneels beside the vine while enjoying the warmth of the fading hand. She turns each round, red ball toward the sunlight before disconnecting it from the vine with a half-hearted smile.

Mo, the first Nobel winner in literature born and living in China, said he had trouble with the sudden publicity, which put a lot of pressure on him.
"I only hope to return to my writing desk as soon as possible, and I would also like to do well in society anonymously.(無名地)" Mo said. He was bothered by a large number of requests asking him to offer help that took advantage of his fame. " I was upset the first several days after the prize announcement, but then I realized the prize is just like a mirror that reflects various attitudes about my winning, and more, reflects the real me," Mo said. "I still consider myself an ordinary citizen who writes. And presenting quality works is my duty and best way of giving back to society. I'm no superstar," he emphasized(強(qiáng)調(diào)) several times.
Mo believes Chinese literature has achieved much in the past thirty years, and the driving force behind that is not the prize. Writers' creations should not be driven by awards, or criticism, or readers' expectations. Mo said he misunderstood the standards of the academy's selection before he visited Stockholm（斯德哥爾摩） to receive the prize in December.
"I thought they were judging the authors' personality or political features, then I learned the sole standard of their selection is literature itself, which is also deeply based in the Swedish people's long-established practice of reading a large number of books," Mo said.
During the forum, established Chinese and Australian writers discussed subjects as diverse as tradition and modernity, the local and the universe and cultural inclusiveness. And they will also read works to each other and the readers. The writers communication will further promote（推動） Chinese writers to a global audience.
Australian Ambassador（大使） to China Frances Adamson agreed. "It's a milestone （驅(qū)動）of literary exchanges between the two countries, who are longtime friends," Adamson said.
小題1: Mo is the first Nobel winner in ______ born and living in China.
A．literature.B．peace C．physics D．chemistry
小題2:When did Mo receive the prize?
A．In September B．In OctoberC．In November D．In December
小題3:What did Mo say about himself after he got the prize?
A．He considered he was a superstar.
B．He still considered he was an ordinary citizen who writes.
C．He considered he was famous all over the world.
D．He considered he became rich.
小題4:Who is Frances Adamson?
A．He is the French Ambassador to ChinaB．He is the Canadian Ambassador to China
C．He is the Australian Ambassador to ChinaD．He is the American Ambassador to China
小題5:Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．Mo didn’t hope to return to my writing deskB．Mo was always upset after the prize .
C．The driving force behind writers is the prize D．Mo’s success will promote Chinese writers.
