When you reference a book, you need to write down the location in which the book was published.

听力原文：M: Hi, Miss Rowling. How old were you when you started to write, and what was your first book?

W: I wrote my first finished story when I was about 6. It was about a small animal, a rabbit I mean, and I've been writing ever since.

M: Why did you choose to be an author?

W: If someone asked me how to achieve happiness, step one would be finding out what you love doing most and step two would be finding' someone to pay you to do it. I consider myself very lucky indeed to be able to support myself by writing.

M: Do you have any plans to write books for adults?

W: My first two novels were for adults. I suppose I might write another one, but I never really imagine a target audience when I'm writing. The ideas come first, so it really depends on the idea that grabs me next!

M: Where did the ideas for the Harry Potter books come from?

W: I've no idea where ideas come from and I hope I never find out, it would spoil my excitement if it turned out I just have a funny little wrinkle on the surface of my brain which makes me think about invisible train platforms.

M: How do you come up with the names of your characters?

W: I invented some of the names in the Harry books, but I also collect strange names. I've gotten them from medieval saints, maps, dictionaries, plants, war memorials, and people I've met!

M: Oh, you are really resourceful.

What do we learn from the conversation about Miss Rowling's first book?

A．It was about a little animal.

B．It took her six years to write.

C．It was adapted from a fairy tale.

D．It was about a little girl and her pet.

听力原文： To read a new book, you simply need good light, time and the right frame. of mind. But to read a new software package, you need a thousand pounds' worth of hardware, considerable computer knowledge, plenty of time and, most important of all, endless determination.

Generally speaking, all books are very much alike, and the experienced reader has no difficulty coping with an unfamiliar book. But imagine how frustrating it would be if you had to make a mental adjustment, if you had to read in a different way, every time you read a book from a different publisher, yet this is exactly what it is like when you use a new software package.

Learning to use a new piece of software is like trying to ride a trick bicycle, on which the handlebars have a reverse action. It looks easier than it really is. This is partly because you must first unlearn what you learnt on the last package; no two packages use the control characters on the keyboard in quite the same way. How much easier it would be if there were some standards to which all software writers adhered!

Since you can't rely on your previous experience, the only way to understand your new software package is to rely on the manual. Some software manuals are written with the beginner in mind and have explicit instruction, but most assume that you are already an expert, and have complicated explanations which only confuse and irritate you. All require a full set of fingers and thumbs to mark pages while hunting out information. Yes, perhaps the information is in the manual, but where?

A．Frustrated.

B．Encouraged.

C．Intersted.

D．Dismayed.

Learning how to write is like taking a course in public speaking. I’ d ask whether anyone in class had ever taken such a course. Invariably a few hands would go up.

“What did you learn in that course?” I’d ask.

“Well, the main thing was learning how to face an audience ... not to be inhibited( 拘谨 )... not to be nervous

Exactly, when you take a course in public speaking nowadays, you don’ t hear much about grammar and vocabulary. Instead, you’ re taught how not to be afraid or embarrassed, how to speak without a prepared script, how to read out to the live audience before you. Public speaking is a matter of overcoming your long-standing nervous inhibitions.

The same is true of writing. The point of the whole thing is to overcome your nervous inhibitions, to break through the invisible barrier that separates you from the person who’ ll read what you wrote. You must learn to sit in front of your typewriter or dictating machine and read out to the person at the other end of the line.

Of course, in public speaking, with the audience right in front of you, the problem is easier. You can look at them and talk to them directly. In writing, you’ re alone. It needs an effort of your experience or imagination to take hold of that other person and talk to him or her. But that effort is necessary -- or at least it’ s necessary until you’ve reached the point when you quite naturally and unconsciously “talk on paper

The Mysterious Brain

When you refer to your brain, you should probably say "brains".Most modern scien-tists studying the brain have con.eluded that there are three major parts of our brain,-that each is separate from the others, and that each has its own function and different proces-ses.

Brain 1 includes the spinal cord(髓脑), which sits directly on the top of the cord, and the middle section of the brain.It includes the controls for involuntary functions like breathing and digestion. Brain 2 is an area surrounding Brain 1.In this second brain are the various glands(腺)located in the brain, such as the pituitary(垂体)and amygdala(扁桃体). Scientists studying Brain 2 are convinced that human emotions such as excitement, fear, and love are centered here, as well as the senses of taste and smell.Memory and learning are also controlled by Brain 2.Brain 3 is the neo-cortex(新大脑皮层), the thick covering that surrounds the top and side portions of the brain.This is the "gray matter" we often think of when we speak of the brain.Only the higher orders of animals have Brain 3, and none is as highly developed as the human neo-cortex.Brain 3 sends:informa-tion from the other two brains to the body and receives data from the body.It is Brain 3that makes us fully human.Brain 3 allows us to stand erect(直立), to see, to speak, to write, to use symbols and tools, and to remember.Brain 3 also acts as a unifying control of the other two brains.As scientists continue to study the brain, they discover specific

areas that control particular functions of the body and particular emotions.
