　　“A good book for children should simply be a good book in its own right,” says Mollie Hunter．Born and brought up near Edinburgh, Mollie has devoted her talents to writing primarily for young people．She firmly believes that there is always and should always be a wider audience for any good book whatever its main market is．In Mollie's opinion it is necessary to make full use of language and she enjoys telling a story, which is what every writer should be doing．“If you aren't telling a story, you're a very dead writer indeed,” she says．With the chief function of a writer being to entertain(让人愉快), Mollie is indeed an entertainer．“I have this great love of not only the meaning of language but of the music of language,” she says．“This love goes back to early childhood．I've told stories all my life．I had a school teacher who used to ask us what we would like to be when we grew up and, because my family always had dogs, and I was very good at handling them, I said I wanted to work with dogs, and the teacher always said ‘Nonsense, Mollie, dear, you'll be a writer．' So finally I thought that this woman must have something, since she was a good teacher and I decided when I was nine that I would be a writer．”

　　This childhood intention is described in her novel, A Sound of Chariots, which although written in the third person is clearly autobiographical(自传体的)and gives a picture both of Mollie's ambition(理想)and her struggle towards its achievement．Thoughts of her childhood inevitably(不可避免地)brought thoughts of the time when her home was still a village with buttercup meadows(草地)and strawberry fields－sadly now covered with modern houses．“I was once taken back to see it and I felt that somebody had lain dirty hands all over my childhood．I'll never go back,”she said．“Never．”“When I set one of my books in Scotland,”she said,“I can recall my romantic(浪漫的)feelings as a child playing in those fields, or watching the village blacksmith at work．And that's important, because children now know so much so early that romance can't exist for them, as it did for us．”

My husband and children think they are very lucky that they are living and that it’s Christmas again. They can’t see that we live on a dirty street in a dirty house among people who aren’t much good. But Johnny and children can’t see this. What a pity it is that our neighbours have to make happiness out of all this dirt. I decided that my children must get out of this. The money that we’ve saved isn’t nearly enough.

The McGaritys have money but they are so proud. They look down upon the poor. The McGarity girl just yesterday stood out there in the street eating from a bag of candy(糖果)while a ring of hungry children watched her. I saw those children looking at her and crying in their hearts; and when she couldn’t eat any more she threw the rest down the sewer(下水道). Why, is it only because they have money ? There is more to happiness than money in the world, isn’t there?

Miss Jackson who teaches at the Settlement House isn’t rich, but she knows things. She understands people. Her eyes look straight into yours when she talks with you. She can read your mind. I’d like to see the children be like Miss Jackson when they grow up.

A. is easy to get along with　　　　　　

B. is unhappy with the life they are living
