阅读理解。     J. K. Rowling is the writer of Harry Potter, which is now one of the best-sellers in the world.
     J. K. Rowling was born in Bristol on July 31th, 1965. She has one sister who is two years younger than
her. The girls loved listening to their father reading bedtime stories to them. They especially loved stories
about magical worlds. Rowling wrote her first story, called Rabbit, at the age of six.
     After she graduated from the university, Rowling worked as a translator (翻译者) in London. During this
time, on a long train trip in the summer of 1990, the idea came to her of a boy who has magic (魔法) but
doesn"t know it. In 1992 Rowling began to teach English. She lived with her baby daughter, Jessica, and spent
much time finishing the first Harry Potter book for young readers. It appeared in June 1997. To her surprise,
the book was greatly successful. The film came out in November 2001. Now Harry Potter series (系列) is
popular with people of all ages and about 60 million books were sold in 200 countries.
     Why has the series been so successful? There are a few things. Many other magical stories happen in
faraway lands or in past or future times. But Harry lives in modern (现代的) England. He"s also a very ordinary
boy: polite, friendly and clever. So when other children read about Harry, they can imagine being like him.
    J. K. Rowling is very happy with the success, and she is now busy finishing the whole series of seven
books. She"s writing full time and she"s really enjoying life. She says she will go on living an ordinary life with

     Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the Richmond Film Society. Tonight, we begin a season
of Marilyn Monroe films. Before we star the film I"d like to say just a few words about Marilyn Monroe"s life.
     Marilyn was born in Los Angeles in 1926, but had quite a sad life as a child. Her father didn"t want to see
her from the time she was born and her mother became ill when she was very young and stayed in hospital
for a long period of time. Between 1926 and 1935, Marilyn lived with lots of different families.
     In 1935, she went to a school for girls with no parents, but didn"t like it and left in 1942 when she married
Jim Dougherty. In 1949 she met the famous film director Johnny Hyde, and in 1950 she made her first film,
The Asphalt Jungle.
     Between 1950 and 1961 she made thirty-one films. She was, however, never very happy. She died in
Hollywood in 1962.
