Warner Brothers has announced more Harry Potter movies are on the way. The studio is working with Potter author J. K. Rowling to create a new franchise (特需经营权) of movies based on “Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them”, which is a fictitious textbook in the Harry Potter world. The story will also follow the adventures of the book’s author, Newt Scamander. Rowling, for the first time, will pen the screenplay.

It comes as no surprise that Warner Brothers is trying to keep the Harry Potter franchise going. The films alone have earned $7.7 billion at the box office. The franchise has probably almost doubled those earnings on home video and TV sales. Then there’s the many Harry Potter products that fans still snatch up.

But at some point, Harry Potter could seem old hat and that’s not something Warner Brothers wants to see happen. So executives had three choices: restart the franchise, come up with continuations or spin off part of the Potter world into a new movie.

Without books to support the new stories, the upcoming movies could be a tougher sell for Warner Brothers. Harry and friends won’t appear at all in the new movies which will be set in New York 70 years before Harry Potter heads to Hogwarts.

The new stories will also net video games, products and enhance Rowling’s website.

Here’s Rowling on the upcoming franchise:

It all started when Warner Brothers came to me with the suggestion of turning “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” into a film. I thought it was a fun idea, but the idea of seeing Newt Scamander, the supposed author of “Fantastic Beasts”, realized by another writer was difficult. Having lived for so long in my fictional universe, I feel very protective of it and I already knew a lot about Newt. As Harry Potter fans will know, I liked him so much that I even married his grandson, Rolf, to one of my favourite characters from the Harry Potter series, Luna Lovegood.

As I considered Warners’ proposal, an idea took shape that I couldn’t get rid of. That is how I could express my own idea for a film to Warner Brothers.

Although it will be set in the worldwide community of wizards (巫师) where I was so happy for seventeen years, it is neither a previous work nor a continuation to the Harry Potter series, but an extension of the wizarding world. The laws and customs of the hidden magical society will be familiar to anyone who has read the Harry Potter books or seen the films, but Newt’s story will start in New York, seventy years before Harry gets underway.

1.The phrase “snatch up” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “­­­­_____”.

A. rush to purchase B. give up reluctantly

C. make profits from D. take away by force

2.What made Rowling accept Warner Brothers’ proposal?

A. Her eagerness to try writing for the screenplay.

B. Her unwillingness to see others write the story.

C. The attraction of earning more at the box office.

D. The film company’s promise to enhance her website.

3. It is implied in the passage that creating and selling the new movies may be _____.

A. inspiring 　　 B. embarrassing

C. disappointing　 D. challenging

4.What is the passage mainly about?

A. Warner Brothers’ expanded partnership with Harry Potter author.

B. Warner Brothers’ success and development in Harry Potter series.

C. Rowling’s view on the upcoming franchise of Harry Potter movies.

D. Rowling’s creative ideas for the cooperation with Warner Brothers.

If you really want to get to know someone, travel with them. The following are some suggestions given by some people who have successfully traveled with friends.

Talk money ahead of time.

When you’re traveling with friends, the topic of money will certainly come up. 1. Talking about expenses early on will help your friends understand what can be done and what can’t be done.

Create a group itinerary (行程表).

When traveling in a group, a lot of time can be wasted trying to figure out what to do once you get there—if this hasn’t been discussed ahead of time. Have everyone write down what they’d like to accomplish on the trip before departure. 2.

Choose a trip leader.

If you’ll be traveling in a group with many friends, it can be hard to keep everyone motivated. 3. He or she can set departure times and let everyone know the basic plan.

4.

Once you’ve nominated (任命) a leader, using a travel folder to collect all tickets, maps and other important documents can help streamline the process of group travel, as well.

Power down.

Nothing is more likely to cause unhappiness than when one person is trying to have a conversation with someone who’s busy showing off the trip on social media. 5. If you spend the time with your face buried in your phone, your companions will rightly think your phone is more interesting than their company.

A. Set specific free time.

B. Gather your important documents.

C. Be open about expenses before even booking the tickets.

D. A leader can be the key decision maker of the group for the trip.

E. This wish list will let everyone feel their desires have been heard.

F. If you do decide to split up, use a communication app to stay in touch.

G. Put all social media activity on hold, and live in the moment with your friends.

“Don't worry if you have problems!” It is easy to say until you are in the midst of a really big one．The only people who don't have troubles are gathered in little neighborhoods．Most communities have at least one．We call them cemeteries．If you're breathing, you have difficulties．It's the way of life．And believe it or not, most of your problems may actually be good for you! Let me explain．

Maybe you have heard the Great Barrier Reef, stretching some 1,800 miles from New Guinea to Australia．Tour guides regularly take visitors to view the reef．

On one tour, a traveler asked the guide an interesting question．"I notice that the lagoon （泻湖） side of the reef looks pale and lifeless, while the ocean side is vibrant and colorful," the traveler observed．Why is this?

The guide gave an interesting answer, "The coral around the lagoon side is in still water, with no challenge for its survival．It dies early．The coral on the ocean side is constantly being tested by wind, waves and storms．It has to fight for its survival every day．As it is challenged and tested, it changes and adapts．It grows healthy．It grows strong．And it reproduces．"

Then he added, “That's the way it is with every living organism．”

That's how it is with people．Challenged and tested, we come alive! Like coral pounded by the sea, we grow．Physical demands can cause us to grow stronger．Mental and emotional stress can produce tough-mindedness and resiliency．Spiritual testing can produce strength of character and faithfulness．So, you have problems? No problem! Just tell yourself, "There I grow again!"

Remember: A smooth sea never made a skilled mariner．

1.Who has no problems according to the passage?
