Eightytwoyearold Munro is only the 13th woman to win the 112yearold prize. Munro didn’t publish her first collection of short stories until she was 37 years old, but her stories have always been wellreceived. Lots of her stories share similar themes and characters, but each story has its own twists and turns. Even though she’s won Canada’s most famous literary award, the Giller Prize twice, winning the Nobel Prize for Literature is the peak of Munro’s career. “It brings her incredible recognition, both of her and her career, and of the dedication( 投身，奉獻 ) to the short story,” said one person.

Canadians, by our very nature, are not very nationalistic,” said Geoffrey Taylor. “But things like this suddenly make you want to find a flag.” She wasn’t sure if she would keep writing if she won the prize, saying that it would be “nice to go out with a bang. But this may change my mind.” 32. What is the feature of Munro’ s stories? A. They have plicated (復雜的 )contents. B. They have similar story backgrounds. C. They have specific themes for children. D.
