Chinese writer Mo Yan’s Nobel Prize for Literature might ignite an explosion of global interest in Chinese literature and lead to more titles translated into English，European experts say.
“Hopefully，the award means more people will read Chinese literature and more works will get translated，” says Michel Hockx，professor of the Languages and Cultures of China and Inner Asia from University of London.“Many very good Chinese writers have been accepted globally for a long time already.Mo Yan is probably the most translated Chinese writer alive，with at least five of his nov els made available in English over the past 20 years.”
Jonathan Ruppin，web editor of bookseller Foyles，says Mo’s win coincides with growing interest in Chinese literature and recognizes the talents of a distinctive and visionary (富于幻想的) writer.“We are very excited by the fact that English translations of more of his books should now become available，” Ruppin says.He made the comment after Mo became the first Chinese citizen to win the Nobel Prize for Literature in its centurylong history.
As EastWest cultural exchange has been booming，Chinese literature has been attracting growing attention in recent years.Hockx explains，“It’s mainly because there are many more opportunities for Chinese writers to visit other countries，to publish their works outside China and to interact with readers abroad.At the same time，more and more people globally are learning Chinese and taking an interest in the Chinese language and culture.”
University of Oxford lecturer in modern Chinese literature Margaret Hillenbrand says，“The obvious reason for the growing global presence of Chinese literature is the growing global presence of China itself.People have come to realize that there is a serious knowledge deficit (缺少) between China and its international counterparts—in particular，China knows incomparably more about Europe and America than the other way round—and reading Chinese literature is an effective，simple means of solving that gap.”

Pool Safety Tips for Kids
On a hot summer day, there are few things that are more appealing than a nice cool pool. __1__ And it is completely relaxing. Of course, if you have children, there are certain safety measures you should take, whether you have a pool in your backyard or are going to a public pool.
Go swimming together. No person should ever swim alone. Though many people do, the simple truth is that it only takes a second to become injured or drown. __2__ Having someone there with you can make the difference between life and death. This is especially true for young children. If your child is under the age of 5, you should never allow them to swim out of arm's length.
__3__ Kids love to chase one another through the water. But it is important that you emphasize to your children that at no time should they be running around the pool or pushing anyone. In the water, teach children not to jump on top of one another and to watch their surroundings, so that they do not accidentally knock into others, injuring them. Playing around in the pool is very interesting but dangerous.
Keep it locked. If you own a pool, you must have a locking gate around your pool. __4__ Keep the gate locked at all times, even when you are physically in the pool. It is terrible for children to steal into the pool.
Know the way out. __5__ Make sure that they know where all ladders are, and that you teach them to use them for entering and exiting the pool safely. Although your child may be able to lift herself or himself out of the pool using the side, that is not the safest way to go.
A.Don't play around in the pool.
B.Be sure to show all children the proper way to exit the pool.
C.Swimming under water is forbidden in the pool.
