Text 1 Everyone chases success, but not all of US want to be famous. South African writer John Maxwell Coetzee is well-known for keeping himself to himself. When the 63-year-old was named the 2003 Nobel Prize winner for literature earlier this month, reporters were warned that they would find him "particularly difficult to catch". Coetzee lives in Australia but spends part of the year teaching at the University of Chicago. He seemed shocked by the news that he won the US$1.3 million prize. "I wasn’t even aware they were due to make the announcement," he said. His love of privacy led to doubts as to whether Coetzee will attend the prize-giving in Stockholm, Sweden, on December 10. But despite being described as difficult to track down the critics agree that his writing is easy to get to know. Born in Cape Town South Africa to all English-speaking family, Coetzee made his breakthrough in 1980 with the novel Waiting for the Barbarians. He took his place among the world’s leading writers with two Booker prize victories, Britain’s highest honor for novels. He first won in 1983 for the Life and Times of Michael K, and his second title came in 1999 for Disgrace. A major theme in his work is South Africa’s former apartheid (种族隔离) system, which divided whites from blacks. Dealing with the problems of violence, crime and racial division that still exist in the country, his books have enabled ordinary people to understand apartheid from within. "I have always been more interested in the past than the future." he said in a rare interview. "The past casts its shadow over the present. I hope I have made one or two people think twice about whether they want to forget the past completely." In fact this purity in his writing seems to be mirrored in his personal life. Coetzee is avegetarian, a cyclist rather than a motorist and doesn’t drink alcohol. But what he has contributed to literature, culture and the people of South Africa is far greater than the things he has given up. "In looking at weakness and failure in life," the Nobel Prize judging panel said, "Coetzee’s work expresses the divine spark in man." When the news came that he won the 2003 Nobel Prize for literature, Coetzee was______.
A. excited
B. surprised
C. frightened
D. satisfied
