J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (《哈利·波特與密室》) was published in July 1998.

American and British people both speak English. But there are a lot of differences in the ways they speak. J. K. Rowling made some changes for American kids in the Harry Potter books. For example, she used parking lot (停車場) instead of car park.

In October 1998, J. K. Rowling travelled to the United States for the first time to sell her books. At first, J. K. Rowling was worried that American children wouldn’t like her book as much as children in the United Kingdom did. But she was wrong. “When I did public readings,” she said, “they even all laughed in the same places as British children.”

J K. Rowling was surprised that many of the children had already read Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. The book wasn’t even published in the United States yet. They had ordered the book from England on the Internet because they couldn’t wait.

J. K. Rowling was more successful than she had ever dreamed. In the publishing world, no children’s books had ever been as popular as the Harry Potter books. Even popular children’s book writer Dr Seuss did not sell so many books.

When she returned to America, J. K. Rowling was met by, not just children, but crowds of adults. Why were so many adults reading a book written for children? It is because a really good story attracts people of all ages.

1.What language do American and British people both speak according to Paragraph 2?

A. Chinese. B. English. C. Russian. D. Japanese.

2.In 1998, J. K. Rowling went to the United States ________.

3.What made J. K. Rowling surprised according to Paragraph 4?

A. American children liked her books

B. American children didn’t like her books

C. British children liked her books.

D. British children didn’t like her books

4.What does Dr Seuss do?

A. A worker. B. An engineer. C. A writer. D. A doctor.

5.What can we know from the passage?

A. Only children liked J. K. Rowling’s books.

閱讀短文，根據(jù)要求回答問題。

Do you wonder why your classmates always get higher marks than you? If you think it is because they are cleverer than you, you are really wrong, according to American authors Wood Smethurst and william Luckie. In their book, Study Power, they say that successful students are not cleverer than others and that they just know the best ways to study for exams.

“The best way to study is to study actively, say the authors. You must ask yourself questions as you work. Asking yourself questions will help you remember information better and faster. To study better you also need to make the best use of your time: When you study, the authors say, only go on for 20 minutes at a time. If you study for longer you will start thinking about other things and not learn anything. The authors also tell students to listen to everything their teachers say in class and write it down.

The authors say that everyone can get high marks if they learn actively and follow their tips.
