that launched (发行) the Harry Potter books, has come to an end, at 1east in terms of new works by the
author.
     Rowling is keeping her fans guessing about the characters and plot of her new book. She only said
that the new novel will be nothing like the Harry Potter series, which was sold over 30 million copies in
the UK alone. She thought that with the move from children"s to adult fiction, a switch to a new publisher
seemed like a natural and reasonable step.
     She said," Although I"ve enjoyed writing it every bit as much, this book will be very different from the
Harry Potter series. The freedom to explore a new field is a gift that Harry"s success has brought me."
Ian Rankin, the Edinburgh-based author whose highly-successful detective novels are also set in the city.
suggested Rowling"s book will be a crime novel.
     "Wouldn"t it be funny if JK Rowling"s first novel for adults turned out to be a crime story set in
Edinburgh?" he said.
     Industry insiders guessed that the deal is worth more than ￡5 million and the new book is expected
to come out later this year.
     A spokesman said," JK Rowling"s audience is vast and her position is uniqLle. Hatry Potter books
were a global success and her fans are very loyal. Children that were eight, nine, or ten when the books
first came out in the 1990s are now in their 20s. Plenty of adults, loved the books regardless of whether
they had children, so the potential market for her is huge."1. What does the text mainly tell us?A. JK Rowling has signed a deal with a new publisher.

阅读理解。     In the past decade, openness has become mainstream, and the vast majority of domestic adoptions
(家庭领养) are open ones. Even so, potential adoptive parents and birthparents are often fearful when
they first hear of the concept.
     Making Room in Our Hearls: Keeping Family Ties Through Open Addption answers the most
common questions about the influence of open adoption, and how it affects the lives of everyone related.
Duxbury, a family expert who specializes in adoption advice, is also an adoptive parent. Her book opens with her own family"s story.
     Duxbury surveyed 150 families, but her book is not a collection of data. Instead, it allows these
families to share their thoughts and wisdom, their joy and pain; the stories communicate the great
happiness families feel at" working together for the sake of the child" and the steady view that the
adoptive parents are the parents. They also touch on problems that can arise from opening closed
adoptions.
     The most convincing advocates for open adoption here are the adopted teens themselves.
Commenting on the question people always ask: "Are you confused about who is you real
mother?", Josh, age 2l now. states, "Kids aren"t stupid. I think I would be confused if my birthmother
was not in my life. But my birthmother is not another parent. Your parents are your parents. My
birthmother is really important to me. She is like a special aunt, but she is not my parent."
     "Openness gives children the gift of possibilities, for now and for the future," writes adoption expert
Patricia Martinez Dorner in her closing thoughts. "It is not a ctre-all, but it creates the possibility for a
stronger sense of permanence and identity." This book is important reading for everyone touched by
adoption.

1. The first paragraph is written with the aim to       .A. advise people to open their adoptions
B. bring in the topic of open adoption
C. explain why open adoption has become mainstream
D. advertise the book Make Room in Our Heart2. What kind of view may both Duxbury and Josh agree with?A. The adoptive parents are the parents.
B. Only stupid kids may regard their birthmother as parent.
C. A collection of data of adoptive families is useless.
D. All adoptive families should share their joy and pain.3. We can learn from the text that kids of"closed adoptions"         .A. will not be told the truth of adoption
B. hate their birthparents very much
C. usually have fewer family problems
D. will become stupid with no birthparents4. The adopted children"s attitude towards open adoptio11 is          .A. ridiculous
