　　W: Hey, Bob, guess what? Im going to visit Quebec next summer. Im invited to go to a friends wedding, but while Im there, Id also like to do some sightseeing.

　　听力原文

　　M: Hi, Ms. Rowling. How old were you when you started to write, and what was your first book?

　　W: I wrote my first finished story when I was about 6. It was about a small animal, a rabbit I mean, and Ive been writing ever since.

　　M: Why did you choose to be an author?

　　W: If someone asked me how to achieve happiness, step one would be finding out what you love doing most and step two would be finding someone to pay you to do it. I consider myself very lucky indeed to be able to support myself by writing.

　　M: Do you have any plans to write books for adults?

　　W: My first two novels were for adults. I suppose I might write another one, but I never really imagine a target audience when Im writing. The ideas come first, so it really depends on the idea that grabs me next!

　　M: Where did the ideas for the Harry Potter books come from?

　　W: Ive no idea where ideas come from and I hope I never find out, it would spoil my excitement if it turned out I just have a funny little wrinkle on the surface of my brain which makes me think about invisible train platforms.

　　M: How do you come up with the names of your characters?

　　W: I invented some of the names in the Harry books, but I also collect strange names. Ive gotten them from medieval saints, maps, dictionaries, plants, war memorials, and people Ive met!

　　M: Oh, you are really resourceful.
