For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. In a career that lasted more than half a century, Tom Wolfe wrote fiction and nonfiction bestsellers including The Electric KoolAid Acid Test and The Bonfire of the Vanities. Along the way, he created a new type of journalism and coined phrases that became part of the American vocabulary. Wolfe began working as a newspaper reporter, first for The Washington Post, then the New York Herald Tribune. He developed a literary style in nonfiction that became known as the New Journalism. I39。ve always agreed on a theoretical level that the techniques for fiction and nonfiction are interchangeable, he said. The things that work in nonfiction would work in fiction, and vice versa. When Tom Wolfe39。s voice broke into the world of nonfiction, it was a time when a lot of writers, and a lot of artists in general, were turning inwards, says Lev Grossman, book critic for Time magazine. Wolfe didn39。t do that. Wolfe turned outwards. He was a guy who was interested in other people. Wolfe was interested in how they thought, how they did things and how the things they did affected the world around them. In 1979, Wolfe published The Right Stuff, an account of the military test pilots who became America39。s first astronauts. Four years later, the book was adapted as a feature film. The Right Stuff was the book for me, says Grossman. It reminded me, in case I39。d forgotten, that the world is an incredible place. In The Right Stuff, Wolfe popularized the phrase pushing the envelope. In a New York magazine article, Wolfe described the 1970s as The 39。Me39。 Decade. Grossman says these phrases became part of the American idiom because they were accurate. He was an enormously forceful observer, and he was not afraid of making strong claims about what was happening in reality, Grossman says. He did it well and people heard him. And they repeated what he said because he was right. All those words started a revolution in nonfiction that is still going on.（1）The New Journalism is a style of journalism that .

The effect is most noticeable in pop music. Foreign groups often record in English, and the words are picked up and repeated in the same language everywhere, even by children who otherwise have little or no mand of the language.
