READING COMPREHENSION.     French writer Le Clezio won the 2008 Nobel Prize in Literature, the Swedish Academy announced
Thursday.
     The Academy cited Le Clezio as "author of new departures and poetic adventure, explorer of humanity
beyond civilization."
     Le Clezio, 48, received much attention with his first novel The Interrogation in 1963 and made the
breakthrough as a novelist with Desert in 1980, for which he was rewarded a prize from the French
Academy.
     This novel Dserte contains magnificent images of a lost culture in the North African desert, contrast
with a description of Europe seen through the eyes of unwanted immigrants, the Swedish Academy said
in the statement.
     The emphasis in Le Clezio"s work has increasingly moved in the direction of an exploration of the
world of childhood and of his own family history, the academy added.
     Le Clezio was born 1940 in Nice of France, but both parents had strong family connections with the
former French colony Mauritius. At the age of eight, he moved to Nigeria with his family. During the
month-long voyage to Nigeria, he began his literary career with two books Un long voyage and Oradi noir.
     He has taught at universities in Bangkok, Mexico City, Boston, Austin and Albuquerque among other
places. Since the 1990s, Le Clezio and his wife share their time between Albuquerque in New Mexico, the
island of Mauritius and Nice.
     This was the fourth of the prestigious Nobel Prizes handed out this year, with awards in chemistry,
physics and medicine made in the past three days.
     The Nobel Prizes have been awarded annually since 1901 to those who "conferred (给予) the greatest
benefit on mankind during the preceding year."

of the 1896 death of Alfred Nobel, a Swedish industrialist and the inventor of dynamite.

阅读理解。     When I first heard that Zhang Yimou, China"s leading director most well-known for Hero in the West,
a question immediately came into my mind: Would A Simple Noodle Story be directed by the good Zhang
Yimou or the bad Zhang Yimou? The answer:neither.
     Starting with his first time as a cinema-photographer on Yellow Earth right after graduating from film
school in the early 80s, everything Zhang shot was inspiring. In the late 80s and early 90s, he directed
several movies already considered classics, including the banned (禁止) To Live.
     A Simple Noodle Story is set in the late Ming Dynasty (1368~1644), follows several amusing characters
working in a restaurant in the faraway, but naturally beautiful, western province of Gansu. Zhang brought
together a group of popular comedic (喜剧的) actors led by Xiao Shenyang, who shot to fame earlier last
year because of his very funny styles. Xiao Shenyang"s character, Li Si, is having an affair with his boss"s
wife, who is simply called "Boss" Wife" throughout the movie.
     A Simple Noodle Story, which started national screening Friday, is already bringing in money, scoring
a total box office income of 67.1 million yuan? ($9.83 million) by Sunday morning and is expecting its first
weekend to reach 100 million yuan ($14.65 million).
     In spite of the box office success, the film has received mixed reviews. Most local media admitted Zhang"s
success in entertaining the public, but writer Han Han wrote in his blog that A Simple Noodle Story is more
like a long-drawn-out TV comedy and that Zhang has made no improvement in directing since his first film.
     In his defense, Zhang said that he was just trying to have fun with the film. "I"m not a master of artistic
films. I am just trying to make a fun movie." 1. Which part of the newspaper do you think the passage choose from? [     ]
A. Sports
B. Politics
C. Entertainment
D. Economy 2. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? [     ]
A. A Famous Film Director -Zhang Yimou
B. Good Zhang Yimou or Bad Zhang Yimou?
C. A Simple Noodle Story
D. Zhang Yimou with His New Movie Has Come Again 3. What is the meaning of the underlined phrase "box office" in paragraph 5? A. 售票处
B. 票房成绩
C. 影院包厢
D. 影院办公室 4. From this passage we can guess what kind of film "A Simple Noodle Story" belongs to? [     ]
A. An artistic film
B. A film about photographs
C. A classic film
D. A comedic film.
