A. Reading Comprehension I. Reading Rockets interviewed author Katherine Paterson. She won the Newbery Medal for the book Bridge to Terabithia. Read the text and answer the questions below.

Well, winning the Newbery when you haven’t been very famous, or the National Book Award, when you've spent all those years writing and writing and nobody ever wanted to publish what you wrote, of course, is very gratifying. But the award that I think reduced me to tears was the Hans Christian Andersen award, because the people who voted for me were people from South Africa and Iran and Croatia. There was one member of the committee who was from the United States, but it was from people all over the world, who said, "Your books mean a a lot to children all over the world," and that was incredible to me. I was really moved.
