问题  
M: Hi, Miss Rowling, how old were you when you started to write? And what was your first book?
W: [22] I wrote my first finished story when I was about six. It was about a small animal, rabbit, I mean. And I’ve been writing ever since.
M: Why did you choose to be an author?
W: [23] If someone asked me how to achieve happiness, step one would be finding out what you love doing most and step two would be finding someone to pay you to do it. I consider myself very lucky indeed to be able to support myself by writing.
M: Do you have any plans to write books for adults?
W: My first two novels were for adults. I suppose I might write another one. But I never really imagine a target audience when I’m writing. [24] The ideas come first. So it really depends on the idea that grabs me next.
M: Where did the ideas for the Harry Potter books come from?
W: [25] I’ve no idea where the ideas came from. And I hope I’ll never find out. It would spoil my excitement if it turned out I just have a funny little wrinkle on the surface of my brain, which makes me think about invisible train platforms.
M: How do you come up with the names of your characters?
W: I invented some of them, but I also collect strange names. I’ve gotten them from ancient saints, maps, dictionaries, plants, war memorials and people I’ve met.
M: Oh, you are really resourceful.

选项 A、She knows how to write best-selling novels.
B、She can cam a lot of money by writing for adults.
C、She is able to win enough support from publishers.
D、She can make a living by doing what she likes.

答案 D

解析 Why does Miss Rowling consider herself very lucky?
此题难度稍微偏大,主要还是依据Miss Rowling的回答:“如果有人问我如何取得快乐,第一步是要搞清楚你最喜爱做什么,第二步是要找到赞助你的人,我能够通过写作来谋生,我认为自己真的很幸运”,即可选出正确答案D。本题要在听懂这几句话的基础上,才可以做出正确选择。注意:A、B原文根本就没有提到;C虽然有些沾边,但publishers一词却是原文没有提到的,所以均错。
