The idea for the book Harry Potter and the philosopher’s Stone came to Joanne Kathleen Rowling in 1990. It took her seven years to finish writing it. During those seven years she had a number of jobs, including one job as an English teacher in Portugal.

Rowling sent the book to four publishers before one of them bought it. She was very happy to sell her book because it was her life’s dream to be a published writer. Before she sold her book, Rowling was short of money, living in a small apartment with her daughter. She could not afford heat in the winter.

Harry Potter became very successful with children and adults in England. The book also really took off in the United States. After her second and third books were published, the three Harry Potter books filled the top three places on many newspapers’ lists of best-sellers. Then the books were made into popular movies. Without question, Rowling’s life had completely changed, in just three years.

Harry Potter has now sold more than 30 million books around the world and has been translated into more than thirty-five languages. In 1997, she earned £70 (about US$110) a week. By the end of 2001, she had earned over £150 million ($250 million), making her one of the most successful female writers of all time.

Do you know where J.K. Rowling wrote the Harry Potter books? She wrote the first books in a coffee shop. Was it because she felt more creative when working there? The answer might be yes!

Scientists from the University of Illinois found that moderate (适度的) noise can make people more creative, the New York Times reported.

Scientists did tests on students. They divided them into four groups. They then asked the students to do certain tasks involving creative thinking. But each group did the task with different volumes (音量) of background noise.

They found that students did best when working under moderate noise —70 decibels (分贝). This is about the same volume of background noise in a cafe. Students did worse in low noise (50 db). This is the volume of a quiet room. They did the poorest when in a high-noise (85 db) environment. This is the noise level in a factory.

Moderate noise can distract (分心) people just enough so that they think more creatively. “It helps you think outside the box,” Raci Mehta, a lead researcher in the study, said to the Business Standard.

On the one hand, working in a very quiet place can strengthen our focus. But it also stops us from thinking abstractly (抽象地).

“This is why if you are too focused on a problem and you can’t solve it,” said Mehta, “You leave it for some time and then come back to it and you get the solution.”

However, the scientists said that when you need to do detailed things, like proofreading (校对) a paper, a quiet place is better than a noisy one.

1.What can we tell from the first paragraph?

A.J.K. Rowling likes drinking coffee. B.Drinking coffee helps people become creative.

C.The best novels are born in coffee shops. D.Moderate noise makes people creative.

2.The underlined word “involving” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by the word “________”.

A.referring to B.including C.in order to D.even

3.Which volume of background noise helps students do the best at creative tasks?

A.85 db. B.70 db. C.50 db. D.0 db.

4.Which of the following is TRUE when working in a very quiet place?

A.It can help people think outside the box. B.It can make people think abstractly.

C.It can help people find the solution easily. D.It can help people focus on their work.

5.What is the main idea of the story?

A.How to work under a moderate noise level.

B.Why J. K. Rowling likes to write stories in a coffee shop.

C.Why moderate noise is good for creative thinking.

D.How scientists tested students’ learning abilities.
