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. His men carry knives or conduct extramarital【C10】________; his women are often【C11】________housewives who drink, take up bell-ringing in their local church or fantasise about younger men【C12】________a way of filling in time.
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. Rooted in the bleaker aspects of Scotland’s landscapes, it is something that his【C19】________continually search for, in these concise and poetic tales—yet【C20】________to find.
【C18】
选项
A、seek for
B、believe in
C、give up
D、concern about
答案
B
解析
文中提到他笔下的主人公总是得不到幸福,以至于他们都几乎不再“相信”幸福,故答案选 B项believe in。A项seek for为强干扰项,但下文的continually search for提示,故事的人物并没有放弃追寻幸福,故排除;C项give up“放弃”与空格前的ceased to意思重复,也可排除;“故事人物与幸福无缘”只会让人“停止相信幸福”,而非“停止关注幸福”,故排除 D项concern about“关注”。
