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 overshadowed by novels. In contrast to their heyday in the early 20th century, short stories are mostly viewed as trials or experiments before an author【C3】________ with the real thing.
John Burnside, a Scottish poet and novelist,【C4】________ this fixed idea in his latest collection, "Something like Happy". Over 13 stories, Mr. Burnside shows the versatility of the condensed form. 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,【C5】________ men drink "sweet, milky coffee" while waiting for the results of the races. His men carry knives or conduct extramarital【C6】________ ; his women are often lonely housewives who drink, take up bell-ringing in their local church or fantasise about younger men as a way of filling in time.
Happiness is the subject that【C7】________ the collection together. In other hands, this could become sentimental. But Mr. Burnside, with only a few【C8】________. never allows that to happen.
Instead, happiness frequently stays away from these figures; so much so that they have almost ceased to【C9】________ it. Rooted in the bleaker aspects of Scotland’s landscapes, it is something that his characters continually search for, in these concise and poetic tales—yet【C10】________ to find. [br] 【C6】
选项
答案
C
解析
空格前的形容词extramarital“婚外的”提示空格处应填入名词。词库中能与extramarital“婚外的”搭配的只有affairs,指“婚外情”。event意为“事件,大事;比赛项目”等,与extramarital“婚外的”不搭配,故排除。
