Rowling, author of the Harry Potter book series, began writing at age 6. In her biography（传记）, she remembers with great fondness when her good friend-Sean became the first person to encourage her and help her 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（志向） to be a writer. He was also the only person who thought I was bound to（注定）be a success at it, which meant much more to me than I ever told him at the time.” Though there were many difficulties, Rowling continued her writing, particularly fantasy stories. But it wasnt until l990 that she first came up with the idea about Harry Potter. As she recalls（回忆）, it was on a long train journey from London to Manchester that “the idea of Harry Potter simply fell into my head. To my great disappointment, I didnt have a 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 came up in my brain, and this thin, black-haired, bespectacled（戴眼镜的）boy who didn't know he was a wizard became more and more real to me.” That same year, her mother died after a ten-year fight with serious diseases, 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 depression（诊断患有抑郁症）. Unemployed, she finished her first novel in area cafes, where she could get her daughter to fall asleep. After being refused by l2 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 friends encouragement as well as her ambition to write.26 .Who believed J. K. Rowling was to be a good writer?AHer friend Sean.      BHer mother. CHer daughter.         DHer husband.27. Rowling first came up with the idea about Harry Potter_.Aat the age of 6           Bon a train journey Cafter her mothers death            Din her secondary school28.

It can be concluded from Paragraph 5 and 6 that Rowling is_.A.open-minded         B.warm-hearted Cgood-natured                 Dstrong-willed30. The text mainly tells us_.Aadversity makes a good novelist Bthe courage to try is a special abilityCyou can have a wonderful idea everywhere Dencouragement helps one succeedCMost people say “yes” much more readily than “no”.  A friend is moving house this weekend and would like some help, and you agree. But, what you really wanted was a couple of quiet days relaxing at home. Or a roommate spends the entire weekends playing video games and wants to borrow your homework for “reference”. But, youve just finished it after taking a whole day to work hard.  Many people say “yes” to these kinds of requests. They tend not to consider their own interests and feelings, and are often angry with themselves afterwards.  Saying “no” requires courage and considerable practice, in fact, according to psychologists.  “Everyone wants to be liked,” says Gabriele Steinki, a German psychologist. “Saying no risks losing the affection of the person asking the favor or even a job.”  The result is that many people say “yes” just for keeping the peace. But experts say this is regrettable. Anyone should have the right to say “no”.  In fact, rejecting a request can even help to strengthen a relationship because it expresses a true feeling.  But, for people used to agreeing to every request, changing can be a long and uncomfortable learning process.  Most people believe that “If I say no, Ill lose the affection of the person. But the affection is important to me.” This way of thinking can be replaced by this: “If he only likes me because I always do what suits him , then the price of his affection is too high in the long term.”Steinki says the key is talking to the other person to find a mutual (相互的) solution. “One needs to present the situation from ones own point of view, and to suggest how the situation can be dealt with to the advantage of both parties. The other person must have the feeling that his interests are being considered.”  When the refusal is not accepted, Steinki advises giving the reasons calmly again until the person gets the message.31. Most people say “yes” much more readily than “no” because _.  A. they dont care about their own interests and feelings  B. they dont know they will regret afterwardsC. they have already been used to saying “yes”D. they care more about others affection32.

Talk to the other person to find a mutual way.34. According to the writer, what should you do if your refusal is not accepted?  A. Say yes to him. B. Repeat your reason for his acceptance  C. Just go away D. Say no to him 35. What is the best title of the passage?  A. You Need Courage To Say “No” B. “Yes” More Than “No”C. Nobody Has the Right To Say “No” D. Its Easy To Say第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。）There is an English saying:“_36._.” Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. _37. _. Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body.
