The idea for the book Harry Potter and the philosopher’s Stone came to Joanne Kathleen Rowling in 1990. It took her seven years to finish writing it. During those seven years she had a number of jobs, including one job as an English teacher in Portugal.
Rowling sent the book to four publishers before one of them bought it. She was very happy to sell her book because it was her life’s dream to be a published writer. Before she sold her book, Rowling was short of money, living in a small apartment with her daughter. She could not afford heat in the winter.
Harry Potter became very successful with children and adults in England. The book also really took off in the United States. After her second and third books were published, the three Harry Potter books filled the top three places on many newspapers’ lists of best-sellers. Then the books were made into popular movies. Without question, Rowling’s life had completely changed, in just three years.
Harry Potter has now sold more than 30 million books around the world and has been translated into more than thirty-five languages. In 1997, she earned ?70 (about US$110) a week.

查看习题详情和答案>>In the past if you were determined to learn, you might have called a friend or relative, taken a night
class or walked down to the local library for a research term. But now a lot of websites are springing up,
providing free practical advice on these subjects and actually anything else you can think of.
In one sense, these "how-to" sites represent a part of the growing world of online learning. This
tradition found one of its earliest forms in the FAQs - or Frequently Asked Questions files - that began
on Usenet, the Internet's global, discussion group. These FAQs, many of which still go round
continuously, took a specific subject - and explained it to complete novices.
But "how-to" sites take the FAQs idea in a somewhat different direction by addressing subjects that
aren't necessarily related to discussion forums (论坛). These sites take the style of a written teaching
period and a tone of friendly advice. Possibly the biggest and best known of these sites is learn 2.com
(www.learn2.com). It offers nearly 1000 free tutorials (个别指导时间) and adds new ones frequently
for a job interview.
At ehow.com (www.ehow.com) you can learn how to train for your first marathon, how to buy a
vacation home, or how to make a movie in eight steps.
