问题 Like any teenagers, the face of One Teen Story is changing fast. Just a year old, the monthly magazine of short fiction for young people is getting a new editor-in-chief: Patrick Ryan, 47, the associate editor of Granta from 2009 to 2013. He left the London-based literary journal last month.  Editing One Teen Story—the younger sibling(姊妹篇) of One Story magazine—will offer Ryan a chance to reach a whole new audience. “It's really the only magazine for young adult short fiction,” he says from his office in New York. “It's tremendously exciting that there are younger people out there who have subscriptions and look forward to getting these stories once a month. That form is usually only presented when it's forced upon them in schools.”  Designed for readers 14 and up, One Teen Story publishes nine issues a year. Like its sibling magazine, it doesn't carry photographs or advertising. It's just exactly what it says: one story per issue.  Ryan says young people are “looking for engaging reads about people whom they can identify with. It's not about having a message or positive spin(说教). It always starts on a character level, and it has to have an interesting story. If you look at the 'Twilight' characters and the 'Harry Potter' characters, they feel very contemporary.”  Ryan also sees the magazine as a way to encourage talented authors. “I would love to make One Teen Story the first publication for writers who then go on and keep atI just really love the idea that this magazine would be the starting point for somebody—would be the push to make a talented writer feel that it was worth keeping at this.”According to Ryan, what attracts young readers most?(  )A. Characters and stories close to their life.B. Photographs and illustration.C. Political teachings and moral messages.D. Chances and practices in business.
