BEIJING—Mo Yan’s winning of 2012 Nobel Prize in Literature shows the world’s recognition of China’s contemporary literature, according to the China Writers Association.

It also represents the attentions drawn to Chinese writers and the international influences of Chinese literature, said an official statement from the organization on Thursday evening.

Mo is the first Chinese national to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. In the statement, the association congratulated Mo Yan on his success and spoke highly of his “outstanding achievements”.

Mo had effectively extended the boundaries of imagination, the depth of thoughts and state of arts of Chinese literature by focusing on lives in the countryside with a unique national style, said the statement.

He Jianming, vice-president of the association, said in a separate interview that “It is not only a joyous occasion for Mo, but also a dream coming true for generations of Chinese writers. ”

The prize also shows recognition in realism writing coming from traditional Chinese literature, said He.

He cited Mo’s latest novel, Frog, which was published in China in 2010, as an example of Mo’s focus on realism. The book focuses on the influence of China’s “one child” policy in the countryside.

Mo’s works are among the best when it comes to Chinese contemporary literature, He said, adding the award is significant for the development of Chinese literature and will boost confidence in the country’s cultural creativity.

Mo Yan, a pen name for Guan Moye, was born in 1955 and grew up in Gaomi in east China’s Shandong Province.

Mo is one of the most widely translated Chinese writers. His best-known work is Red Sorghum, which was made into a film by director Zhang Yimou.

When Mrs. Joseph Groeger died recently in Vienna, Austria, people asked the obvious question, “Why did she live to be 107? ”Answers were provided by a survey conducted among 148 Viennese men and women who had reached the age of 100. Somewhat surprising was the fact that the majority had lived most of their lives in cities. In spite of the city’s image as an unhealthy place, city living often provides benefits that country living can lack. One factor seems to be important to the longevity(长寿)of those interviewed.

This factor is exercise. In the cities it is often faster to walk short distances than to wait for a bus. Even taking public transportation often requires some walking. Smaller apartment houses have no elevators(电梯), and so people must climb stairs. City people can usually walk to local supermarkets. Since parking spaces are hard to find, there is often no alternative to walking.

On the other hand, those who live in the country and suburbs do not have to walk every day. In fact, the opposite is often true. To go to school, work, or almost anywhere else, they must ride in cars.

35. The Vienna survey may help to explain 　　　.

A. the complaints of people in apartment houses

B. the cause of Mrs. Groeger’s death

C. the longevity of people like Mrs. Groeger

D. the image of cities in general

A. benefits of walking B. occasions for walking in city life
