But，it is often the belief of others that gives us the courage to try.JK.Rowling，author of the Harry Potter book series，began writing at the age of 6.In her biography，she remembers with great fondness when her good friend Sean，whom she met in secondary school，became the first person to encourage her and help build the confidence that one day she would be a very good writer.“He was the first person with whom I really discussed my serious ambition to be a writer.He was also the only person who thought I was bound to be a success at it，which meant much more to me than I ever told him at the time.”Despite many setbacks，Rowling persevered in her writing，particularly fantasy stories.But it wasnt until 1990 that she first conceived the idea about Harry Potter.As she recalls，it was on a long train journey from London to Manchester that the idea of Harry Potter simply fell into her head.“To my immense frustration (沮丧)，I didnt have a functioning pen with me，and I was too shy to ask anybody if I could borrow one.I think，now，that this was probably a good thing，because I simply sat and thought，for four (delayed train) hours，and all the details bubbled up in my brain，and this scrawny，blackhaired，bespectacled (戴眼镜的) boy who didnt know he was a wizard became more and more real to me.”That same year，her mother passed away after a tenyear battle with multiple sclerosis，which deeply affected her writing.She went on to marry and had a daughter，but separated from her husband shortly afterwards.During this time，Rowling was diagnosed with clinical depression.Unemployed，she pleted her first novel in area cafes，where she could get her daughter to fall asleep.After being rejected by 12 publishing houses，the first Harry Potter novel was sold to a small British publishing house.Now with seven books that have sold nearly 400 million copies in 64 languages，J.K.Rowling is the highest earning novelist in history.And it all began with her mitment to writing that was fostered by the confidence of a friend!1Who believed JK.Rowling was to be a good writer?AHer friend Sean.BHer mother.CHer daughter.DHer husband.2Rowling first came up with the idea about Harry Potter_.Aat the age of 6Bon a train journeyCafter her mothers deathDin her secondary school3She felt frustrated on the train because_.Aher train was delayed for four hoursBshe didnt have a pen with herCher mind suddenly went blankDno one would offer her help4It can be concluded from Paragraph 5 and 6 that Rowling is_.Aopenminded BwarmheartedCgoodnaturedDstrongwilled5The text mainly tells us_.Ahardship makes a good novelistBthe courage to try is a special abilityCyou can have a wonderful idea everywhereDencouragement contributes to ones success语篇解读文章主要介绍J.K.Rowling在好朋友Sean的鼓励下，成功创作了哈利波特系列小说。1解析：细节理解题。根据第二、三段可知，Rowling的好朋友Sean鼓励并相信她能成为一名优秀的作家。答案：A2解析：细节理解题。根据第四段的第三句“As she recalls，it was on a long train journey from London to Manchester that the idea of Harry Potter simply fell into her head.”可知答案为B。答案：B3解析：细节理解题。根据第四段第四句中的“To my immense frustration (沮丧) I didnt have a functioning pen with me”可知B项正确。答案：B4解析：推理判断题。第五段讲的是J.K.Rowling经历了母亲去世和丈夫离婚的打击，第六段讲的是她患上了抑郁症，失业，照顾孩子以及被出版商拒绝12次，从这些叙述中可以看出她意志坚强。答案：D5解析：主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据文章的首段和最后一段可知，本文主要讲的是鼓励可以促使他人取得成功，故D项正确。答案：D。阅读理解。Success does not belong to a select group of individuals; success belongs to those who are willing to go after it. Success belongs to those who are willing to look fear in the face, eyeball to eyeball, and then do what they have to do. Success belongs to those who realize that there is something more important than their fear.“Desire is the key to motivation.” Desire is the longing to achieve a vision; without desire you have nothing. If youve lost your vision, or if your desire is not strong, work to clarify your vision, use pictures, write the vision down. Habakkuk said, “Write the vision, and make it plain, ” Before you can run with desire, your vision must be plain, it must be clear, it must be exciting.“Seventy percent of success in life is showing up.” You cant get your dream job, if youre scared to turn in an application. You wont get the sale, if you dont try. Showing up doesnt guarantee success, but rest assured if you dont show up, you wont succeed. When it es to your dreams, and the things you desire to achieve in this life, you have to show up.Thomas J. Watson said, “Would you like me to give you a formula（公式）for success? Its quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isnt at all. You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it, so go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because remember thats where you will find success.” Never fear failure, it is failure that will bring you success. Embrace failure, bee a student of failure, learn from failure, and soon you will succeed.Success is not about doing what the average person cant do, its about doing what the average person is unwilling to do. And on a deeper level, its about creating habits that the average person is unwilling to create. Its the habit of doing things with excellence that cause success. Success is the enjoyment of the journey. You have to enjoy the journey!Someone once said, “Unless you change how you are, you will always have what youve got.” You have to changeyou will change, you will succeed.11.
