Chinese writer Can Xue, along with Japanese author Haruki Murakami, was reportedly named as the fourth-ranked candidate(候选人)to have the highest chance of winning the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2019.

Can, whose real name is Deng Xiaohua, was born in Changsha, Hunan in 1953. Not raised as a writer, she spent almost 20 years while being a worker, tailor and medical practitioner(从业者). Yet she never gave up on her passion, and in 1985 published her first novel Yellow Mud Street. Like her other works, it made use of symbolism. The book became known as the autobiography of her inner world. Such a work was not easily accepted or understood by Chinese readers during that period. But Can never stopped pursuing her own style.

Other representative works include Old Floating Cloud and The Barefoot Doctor. Some have been translated in other languages, while others have been selected as textbooks at world-class universities in the US and Japan. Her novel The Last Lover has been honored with the Neustadt International Prize for Literature in US, widely considered a prelude award for the Nobel.

Sharing a stylistic similarity with Franz Kafka, Can has been called the "Chinese Kafka" by permanent Nobel Literature Committee judge and renowned sinologist Goran Malmqvist. Malmqvist even believed Can could achieve more than Kafka, as she has already created more than 7 million words of literary composition.

Can responded she was unworthy of that level of praise, and she is just standing on Kafka's shoulders.

Though not understood by many Chinese, Can still writes in a way that combines Western and Chinese culture. But Can said many Western readers thought her works novel enough, as she praised the virtues of introducing Chinese culture to the West.

19. When did Can Xue publish her first novel?

A. In 1953.      B. In 1973.      C. In 1985.      D. In 2019.

20. Which of her works won a prize for literature in America?

A. Old Floating Cloud.   B. The Last Lover.   C. The Barefoot Doctor.  D. Yellow Mud Street.

21. Why has Can Xue been called the "Chinese Kafka"?

A. Her works made use of symbolism.

B. She introduced Chinese culture to the West.

C. She won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2019.

D. Her works shared a similar style with Franz Kafka.

22. What word can describe Can Xue best according to the text?

A. Modest.       B. Passive.      C. Mean.      D. Generous.

The Language Center's first Trivia Night tested students' knowledge on different languages and their histories last Friday at Douglass Commons.

"We have decided to conduct this event when the weather is bad so that students who have nowhere to go and stay on campus can come and find a comfortable shelter during a cold winter day," Language Center Director, Teresa Valdez said. According to Valdez, the idea for Trivia Night came a year ago from a junior and team-member called Elizabeth de Los Reyes. The event engaged students' interest in languages and showed the high-quality services that the Language Center provides.

Participants competed in small groups that each represented a different language and country. There were five teams in total: Russia, China, Japan, Spain and France. The competition consisted of four rounds with each round consisting of three questions relating to the following topics: literature, language, geography, culture and history.

After a few warm-up questions about how people greet each other in different languages, what continent Turkey is found in, and who is the first man to fly to the moon, the questions became increasingly difficult. Each round offered an increasing amount of points a team could receive. The final question was worth 20 points. If a team did not answer it correctly, the points were taken from the total.

In the meantime, students enjoyed pizza, snacks, and drinks while sharing their linguistic(语言的)interest. Most of the participants knew two or three languages. Others knew more, such as first-year Bartek Jezierski from Poland, who can speak English, Polish, German, Spanish, and Russian.

The winners from first to third place were France, Japan and Russia respectively. All five teams were given some prizes-a blue shopping bag, a cup and stuffed toys. However, students believed the most important prize of the evening was the process of the competition-how students from diverse backgrounds and cultures were able to participate in a friendly competition, and shared their mutual(相互的)love of languages.

23. What is one of the purposes of Trivia Night?

A. To attract students to learn languages.

B. To help the students suffering from coldness.

C. To collect opinions from the students on its services.

D. To select the best students for the Language Center.

24. How many questions were there in the competition in total?

A. 3.       B. 4.      C. 12.      D. 20.

25. Which of the following can best describe the atmosphere of the competition?

A. Quiet.      B. Relaxing.      C. Romantic.      D. Depressing.

26. What did students value most in the competition?

A. Some snacks and drinks.           B. Various prizes for winners.

C. The course of the competition.      D. The services provided by the Language Center.

Earthquakes are a natural disaster-except when they're man-made. The oil and gas industry has forcefully used the technique known as hydraulic fracturing(水力压裂法)to destroy sub-surface rock and liberate the oil and gas hiding there. But the process results in large amounts of chemical-filled waste water. Horizontal drilling(水平钻孔)for oil can also produce large amount of natural, unwanted salt water. The industry deals with this waste water by pumping it into deep wells.

On Monday, the US Geological Survey published for the first time an earthquake disaster map covering both natural and "induced" quakes. The map and a report show that parts of the central United States now face a ground-shaking disaster equal to the famously unstable terrain(不稳定地形)of California.

Some 7 million people live in places easily attacked by these man-made quakes, the USGS said. The list of places at highest risk of man-made earthquakes includes Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, Arkansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Ohio and Alabama. Most of these earthquakes are relatively small, in the range of magnitude(震级)3, but some have been more powerful, including a magnitude 5.6 earthquake in 2011 in Oklahoma that was connected to waste water filling.

Scientists said they do not know if there is an upper limit on the magnitude of man-made earthquakes; this is an area of active research. Oklahoma has had prehistoric earthquakes as powerful as magnitude 7.

It's not immediately clear whether this new research will change industry practices, or even whether it will surprise anyone in the areas of newly supposed danger. In Oklahoma, for example, the natural rate of earthquakes is only one or two a year, but there have been hundreds since hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, with the waste water filling, became common in the last ten years.

27. What kind of human activities can cause earthquakes?

A. The man-made produced waste water in the factories.

B. The process of digging deep wells in those poor areas.

C. The advanced techniques used to deal with waste water.

D. The oil or gas industry's work connected with the earth.

28. What does the underlined word "induced" in paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Newly-built.      B. Man-made.      C. Reduced.       D. Controlled.

29. How much magnitude can man-made earthquakes reach?

A. It's been said as small as magnitude 3.       B. It has been said as high as magnitude 7.

C. It has risen by an average of magnitude 5.6.   D. It's being studied without a final conclusion.

30. What is the best title for the text?

A. Natural Earthquakes in America Are Disappearing Now

B. 7 Million Americans at Risk of Man-Made Earthquakes

C. Time for Oil and Gas Industry Change Their Working Practice

D. More Often Earthquakes as Powerful as Magnitude 7 in America
