根据下列内容，回答186-190题。 Success is often measured by the ability to overcome adversity. But, it is often the belief ofothers that gives us the courage to try. J. K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter book series, began writing at age 6. In herbiography, she remembers with great fondness when her good friend, Sean, whom she met insecondary school, became the first person to encourage her and help build the confidence that oneday she would be a very good writer. "He was the first person with whom I really discussed my serious ambition to be a writer. Hewas also the only person who thought I was bound to be a success at it, which meant much more tome than I ever told him at the time." Despite many setbacks Rowling persevered in her writing, particularly fantasy stories. But itwasn't until 1990 that she first conceived the idea about Harry Potter. As she recalls, it was on along train journey from London to Manchester that "the idea of Harry Potter simply fell into myhead. To my immense frustration (沮丧), I didn't have a functioning pen with me, and I was tooshy 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 inmy brain, and this scrawny, black-haired, bespectacled boy who didn't know he was a wizardbecame more and more real to me." That same year, her mother passed away after a ten-year battle with multiple sclerosis, whichdeeply affected her writing. She went on to marry and had a daughter, but separated from herhusband shortly afterwards. During this time,Rowling was diagnosed with clinical depression. Unemployed,shecompleted her first novel in area cafes, where she could get her daughter to fall asleep. After beingrejected by 12 publishing houses, the first Harry Potter novel was sold to a small Britishpublishing house. Now with seven books that have sold nearly 400 million copies in 64 languages, J. K. Rowlingis the highest earning novelist in history. And it all began with her commitment to writing that wasfostered by the confidence of a friend !

共用题干 第二篇A Tale of Scottish Rural LifeLewis Grassic Gibbon's Sunset Song(1932)was voted"the best Scottish novel of all time"by Scottish's reading public in 2005.Once considered shocking for its frank description of aspects of the lives of Scotland's poor rural farmers,it has been adapted for stage,film,TV and radio in recent decades.The novel is set on the fictional estate of Kinr Addie,in the farming country of the Scottish northwest in the years up to and beyond World War I.At its heart is the story of Chris,who is both part of the community and a little outside it.Grassic Gibbon gives us the most detailed and intimate account of the life of his heroine.We watch her grow through a childhood dominated by her cruel but hard-working father;experience tragedy(her mother's suicide and murder of her twin children);and learn about her feelings as she grows into woman. We see her marry,lose her husband,then marry again.Chris has seemed so convincing a figure to some female readers that they cannot believe that she is the creation of a man.But it would be misleading to suggest that this book is just about Chris.It is truly a novel of a place and its people.Its opening section tells of Kinr Addie's long history,in a language that imitates the place's changing patterns of speech and writing.The story itself is amazingly full of characters and incidents.It is told from Chris' point of view but also from that of the gossiping community,a community where everybody knows everybody else's business and nothing is ever forgotten.Sunset Song has a social theme too. It is concerned with what Grassic Gibbon perceives as the destruction of traditional Scottish rural life first by modernization and then by World War I. Gibbon tried hard to show how certain characters resist the war. Despite this,the war takes the young men away,a number of them to their deaths. In particular,it takes away Chris' husband,Evan Tavendale.The war finally kills Evan,but not in the way his widow told. In fact,the Germans aren't responsible for his death,but his own side.He is shot because he is said to have run away from a battle.If the novel is about the end of one way of life it also looks ahead.It is a Sunset Song but is concerned too with the new Kinr Addie,indeed of the new European world.Grassic Gibbon went on to publish two other novels about the place that continue its story.What is Sunset Song mainly about?A:The First World War. B:The beauty of the sunset.C:The new European world. D:The lives of rural Scottish farmers.
