     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 (翻譯者) 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 (現(xiàn)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
her daughter and writing children's books.

     Some people believe that genes and intelligence (基因和智力) decide a student's success. But there
 is no study to support this opinion, and in fact, it is wrong. Students'success or failure (失敗) is finally
decided by one simple thing: how they learn. Some students are lucky when they find ways that arehelpful
for them to study. But not all students are so lucky. Some students still learn in wrong ways. Dr. James
J. Asher developed "Total Physical Response" as a way to teach languages. Studies at San Jose State
University showed that students who moved their bodies while learning English learned more words and
grammar in a short time. Those who sat still and didn't move learned less. After a year, the students who
learned by moving their bodies still remembered 80% or more of what they had learned, while the others
forgot over 80%. So you should make sure that you keep moving when you learn English. As you listen
to a story or an article, mime (模擬) the action. For example, if you hear the word "go", move yourfeet.
Pretend you are acting out the story or the article that you are listening to. By doing this, you will be able
to learn English better, remember it longer and use it more easily.
