三、阅读理解
J. K. Rowling is a British author of the Harry Potter fantasy series. She completed much of her first work, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in a poor situation, often planning out her chapters in cafés near her small apartment in Edinburgh.
Before penning the Harry Potter books, Rowling's life was one of struggle and loss. Her mother died in 1990 because of the multiple sclerosis (多发性硬化症). Her first marriage ended just three years later. Unable to find work, Rowling struggled to support herself and her daughter on State Aid. Her financial conditions would not change until the late 1990s, when the Harry Potter series became a success beyond all expectations. Aided by the Scottish Arts Council, Rowling was able to complete her first novel, but primary encouragement from publishers was actually non existent. She was told to find a day job, and the UK publisher, Bloomsbury, firstly published only 1,000 copies of the novel, titled in the UK as Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
Within a half year of its publication in 1997, the novel achieved its first award, the Nestlé Smarties Book Prize. A few months later, it received the British Book Award for Best Children's Book of the Year. In 1998, Scholastic purchased (购买) publication rights, and Rowling, now on her third payment of the series, was enjoying great success.
The popularity of the series has made Rowling the most popular children's author ever. Both adults and children who show great interest in the books are eager for the publisher's next payment for Harry's adventures.
Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ honoured Rowling in 2000, titling her as an Officer of the Order of the British Empire. She remarried in 2001, to Dr Neil Murray, with whom she has two children. In her public life, she devotes time to causes dear to her, including supporting Amnesty International, and funding research on a medical treatment for multiple sclerosis.
