Concerned that young boys might not go for a book written by a woman, her publisher suggested she come up with a
18、 pseudonym. So, upon combining her first initial with the initial of her paternal grandmother, Kathleen, the moniker JKRowling was born.Interesting fact about Rowling：apparently, she can only fool some of the people some of the time. Back in April of this year, a crime novel appeared on the shelvesI
19、t was entitled The Cuckoos Calling, and it was written by Robert Galbraith. According to Galbraiths bio, he spent “several years with the Royal Military Police” and the leading character of his novel, a fellow by the name of Cormoran Strike, “grew directly out of his own experiences and those of his
20、 military friends.” Only, upon further review, he didnt! The book was actually penned by JKRowling, who apparently wanted to try and sell a novel based on complete craftsmanship rather than on her name.Unfortunately, however, the wife of a partner in the media firm in whom she placed he trust, share
21、d the secret on Twitter. Rowling was angry and disappointed concerning 5the betraying of trust. Im not sure whether I would be terribly upset for too long, if I were her. Previous to her being known as the author, Rowling saw her book listed 4,709th on Amazon. After the big reveal, her book jumped a
22、ll the way to No1!More importantly, I think she got what she wanted. The novel has received nearly universal critical acclaim. Rowling passed her own test with flying colors. Clearly, shes pretty good at her craft!In any case, I personally look forward to reading her newest writing endeavor. 24. Why

26、animals drooling on them, chewing them up or laying eggs on themall signals of an attack. New research now shows some flora can feel a plant-eating animal 6well before it launches an attack, letting a plant prepare a preemptive(抢先的)defense that even works against other pest species. When ecologist J
27、ohn Orroek of the University of Wisconsin-Madison sprayed snail slimea liquid the animals release as they slide alonginto soil, nearby tomato plants appeared to notice. They increased their levels of an enzyme(生化酶), which is known to prevent plant-eating animals. “None of the plants were ever actual
28、ly attacked.” Orrock says. “We just gave them cues that suggested an attack was coming, and that was enough to cause big changes in their chemistry.” Initially Orrock found this defense worked against snails; in the latest study, his team measured the slimy warning impact on another potential threat
29、. The investigators found that hungry-caterpillars(毛虫), which usually eat tomato leaves greedily, had no appetite for them after the plants were exposed to snail slime and activated their chemical resistance. This nonspecific defense may be a strategy that benefits the plants by further improving th
30、eir overall possibilities of survival, says Orrock, who reported the results with his colleagues in March in Oecologia.The finding that a snails approach can cause a plant response that affects a different animal made Richard Karban curious, a plant communications expert, who was not involved in the
31、 study. “It is significant that the plants are responding before being damaged and that these cues are having such far-ranging effects,” Karban says. The research was comprehensive, he adds, but he wondered how the tomato plants felt chemicals in snail slim that never actually touched them.“Thats th
32、e million-dollar question,” Orrock says. He hopes future research will make out the mechanisms that enable plants to sense these relatively distant cues.28. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. A Defense Attack B. Greedy Animals C. A Snails Approach D. Watchful Plants 29. John Orrock sprayed

He appreciates the responsibility youve given him, takes ownership of his profession, and enjoys his freedom. So why is he looking for a way out? He talked t
38、o me because he wants his editors to demand so much more of him. He wants to be pushed, challenged, coached to new heights. The reporter believes that good stories spring from good questions, but his editors usually ask how long the story will be, when it will be in, where it can play, and what the
39、budget is. 8He longs for conversations with an editor who will help him turn his good ideas into great ones.
