J.K. Rowling is the writer of Harry Potter， which is now one of the best-sellers in the world. J.K. Rowling was born in Bristol on July 31st， 1965. She has one sister who is two years younger than her. Both girls loved listening to their father reading bedtime stories to them. They especially loved stories about magical worlds. Rowling wrote her first story， called Rabbit， at the age of six.
After she graduated from the university， Rowling worked as a translator in London. During this time， on a long train trip in the summer of 1990， the idea came to her of a boy who has magic but doesn't know it. In 1992 Rowling began to teach English. She lived with her baby daughter， Jessica， and spent much time finishing the first Harry Potter book for young readers. It appeared in June 1995. To her surprise， the book was greatly successful. The film came out in November 2001. Now Harry Potter series is popular with people of all ages and about 450 million copies were sold in 200 countries. Why has the series been so successful? There are a few things. Many other magical stories take place in faraway lands or in past or future times. But Harry lives in modern England.

按要求完成下列各题。
Maybe every one of us knows about Harry Potter, because the boy is so famous around the world. But if you have the same name as him, you may have trouble.
A 78-year-old man is also called Harry Potter. Each time a new Harry Potter book or movie came out, the old man started getting phone calls from children.
“The kids want to know if (是否) I’m Harry Potter,” the old man said with a smile. “I tell them that I’ve been Harry Potter for nearly 80 years!” He always has fun doing that. But in fact, he hasn’t had time to read any of the J. K. Rowling’s books or watch the movies.
Meeting a real Harry Potter can be a little strange for the kids.
“They can’t relate (使有联系) the one in the book to the one they have seen here. I guess I could buy me a pair of Harry Potter glasses,” he said, laughing.
（一）根据短文内容简要回答下列问题。
1.Why do many children give phone calls to the old man?
________________________________________________________________________
2.What happen to meet Harry Potter for the kids?
