Short stories are due a revival. In recent years, there have been critically【C1】________collections by American writers such as Lydia Davis and Junot Diaz. But few others manage to【C2】________the bestseller lists, and they are all too often【C3】________by novels.【C4】________their heyday in the early 20th century, short stories are mostly viewed as trials or experiments before an author【C5】________with the real thing.
John Burnside, a Scottish poet and novelist,【C6】________, this fixed idea in his latest collection, "Something Like Happy". Over 13 stories, Mr Burnside shows the versatility of the condensed【C7】________His stories take place mostly in Scotland, in flats "high up on the third floor of an apartment block in the middle of Dundee" or in the back room of a hardware shop,【C8】________men drink "sweet, milky coffee"【C9】________waiting for the results of the races.

Happiness is the subject that【C13】________the collection together. In other hands, this could become sentimental.【C14】________Mr Burnside, with only a few【C15】________, never allows that to happen. Instead, happiness【C16】________stays away from these figures; so much【C17】________they have almost ceased to【C18】________it.

【C19】
选项
A、readers
B、characters
C、stories
D、careers
答案
B
解析
本句提到“在这些简洁和充满诗意的故事里,幸福扎根于苏格兰苍凉的山河大地中,是他笔下的________一直追寻”可知,空格处应填入名词,本句讲述的是故事的内容,因此应该是故事的人物,即characters,与上文的figures对应,故答案选B项。A项readers“读者”;C项stories“故事”和D项careers”职业生涯”均无法对应上文的figures,故排除。
