    When my father then died in June 2019，despite not wanting to leave my mother living up there all by herself，I couldn't imagine moving in.
    And even when Ma was diagnosed with breast cancer in late 2019，and I started splitting my weeks between my overpriced studio apartment in Brooklyn and the house upstate to help manage her care，I never considered giving up my city life to move to the suburbs.Absolutely not!
    What spells failure more than a single woman in her 40s moving in with her mother near the small town she grew up in？
    Then the pandemic hit.Suddenly，all the myths I had bought into about what success looks like and how we were supposed to live as adults began to break down.My mother was going through her final round of chemo，the last she needed to save her life，and yet I couldn't be there.
    And my mom needed me：She couldn't go to the grocery store，physically deal with people coming to the door to make deliveries.She needed help getting to her appointments.That，after all，was why I'd been splitting my time between my place and hers to begin with.
    So after a three-week quarantine，I went home to stay with Ma.The plan was to stay for a month at first-until things "got back to normal".But，I'd already lost one parent；I wasn't ready to face the potential loss of another
    In months that I was living with Ma，something else had happened，too.Long riddled with anxiety issues，l was calmer，more in touch with nature and eating better.We were able to heal from the loss of my father.

2．My family，my wife，Joan，our two teenagers Hannah and Joseph，and I，live in Atlanta with our two dogs.
   Ten years ago，we moved into our dream house，a very big three-story home.It was a beautiful place，but as our children grew up，our sense of togetherness （團(tuán)結(jié)）began to disappear slowly.In the big house，we sometimes seemed to be strangers to each other.
   One day when Hannah was 14，she became upset about the difference between the world's haves and the have-nots.She expected us to be "a family that makes a difference in the world，even if it's a small difference. " Joan asked her，"What are you willing to sacrifice？Your house？Your room？ " Hannah said yes to both.After talking it over as a family，we decided to sell our house and move to one that was half its size and price and donate（捐贈(zèng)）the difference to those in need.
   After a lot of research，we chose the Hunger Project，a US-based organization.It works with villagers in Africa，Asia and South America and helps them fight against poverty（貧窮）.Our money went to pay for building two centers.Each has a meeting place，a bank and a health clinic（診所）.Together，the centers would serve more than 20 villages in eastern Ghana.We also traveled to meet the villagers and were blown away by their hard work and warmth.
   To be honest，we were a little worried at first.Would we regard the new home as being too small for us？Or would we think we had given up too much？Two years later，I can tell you：It's the best move we have ever made.While we worked together on our family project，we became much closer.As Hannah said the other day，"We learned how to really trust each other. "

3．French writer Annie Ernaux won the 2022 Nobel Prize in literature on Oct 6.She is the first French female to win the prize.In the words of the Nobel committee，Ernaux was given the award for the courage and sharp insight of her writing.
   Having spent over five decades as a writer，the 82-year-old winner has published more than 20 books to her name，including Cleaned Out，Shame，a 2008 memoir called The Years and A Girl's Story.Rather than consider herself a writer of fiction，Ernaux has used the term "an ethnologist（民族學(xué)家）of herself" to describe herself.
   Born in 1940 in a rural village in Normandy，F(xiàn)rance，Ernaux grew up in a working-class environment as her parents ran a combined grocery store and cafe.She worked as a teacher before becoming a full-time writer.
   According to CNN her "upbringing and experiences navigating adolescence and adulthood" inspire many of her works.For example the book Shame explores the theme of childhood trauma while A Girl's Story follows a young woman's coming of age in the 1950s.
   Though the matters Ernaux describes in her books are serious and even sometimes heavy，they are always written in plain language.Ernaux described her style as "flat writing" through which she aims to tell her stories objectively， "unshaped by florid description or overwhelming emotions." noted Fox News.
   "She writes about things that no one else writes about，for instance her jealousy，her experiences as an abandoned lover and so forth，I mean，really hard experiences，" Anders Olsson，chairman of the Nobel Committee for Literature said after the award announcement in Stockholm.He went on to say， "She gives words for these experiences that are very simple and striking.They are short books，but they are really moving".

C．The history of her hometown.
D．Her personal experiences.
（3）Which of the following best describes Ernaux's writing style？
