32、my train yesterday, staggering from my seat to the buffet and back, I counted five people reading Harry Potter novels. Not children-these were real grown-ups reading childrens books,Maybe that would have been understandable. If these people had jumped whole-heartedly into a second childhood it would
33、 have made more sense. But they were card-carrying grown-ups with laptops and spreadsheets returning from sales meetings and seminars. Yet they chose to read a childrens book.I dont imagine youll find this headcount exceptional. You can no longer get on the London Tube and not see a Harry Potter boo
34、k. Nor is it just the film; these throwback readers were out there in droves long before the movie campaign opened.So who are these adult readers who have made JK Rowling the second-biggest female earner in Britain (after Madonna)? As I have tramped along streets knee-deep in Harry Potter paperbacks
35、, Ive mentally slotted them into three groups.First come the Never-Readers, whom Harry has enticed into opening a book. Is this a bad thing? Probably not. Writing has many advantages over film, but it can never compete with its magnetic punch. If these books can re-establish the novel as a thrilling
36、 experience for some people, then this can only be for the better. If it takes obsession-level hype to lure them into a bookshop. thats fine by me. But will they go on to read anything else? Again, we can only hope.The second group are the Occasional Readers. These people claim that tiredness, work
37、and children allow them to read only a few books a year. Yet nowto be part of the crowd, to say theyve read itthey put Harry Potter on their oh-so-select reading list. Its infuriating, and maddening. Yes, Im a writer myself, currently writing difficult, unreadable, hopefully unsettling novels, but t
38、here are so many other good books out there, so much rewarding, enlightening, enlarging works of fiction for adults; and yet these sad cases are swept along by the hype, the faddism, into reading a childrens book.The third group are the Regular Readers, for whom Harry is sandwiched between McEwan (英
39、国当代作家) and Balzac, Roth (德国现代诗人) and Dickens. This is the real bafflerwhat on earth do they get out of reading it? Why bother? But if they call rattle through it in a week just to say they ve been therelike going to Longleat (朗利特山庄英国名胜) or the Eiffel Towerthe worst theyre doing is encouraging others
40、.（分数：10.00）(1).The word “staggering“ underlined in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _.（分数：1.00）A.swagB.stumbleC.astoundD.overwhelm(2).Whats the passage mainly about?（分数：1.00）A.The worldwide popularity of Harry Potter.B.Adults benefiting from reading Harry Potter.C.The origin of Harry Potter as a
41、 childrens book.D.Reflections on Harry Potters popularity among adults.(3).The word “tramped“ underlined in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _.（分数：1.00）A.walk throughB.trampleC.jogD.run(4).The author believes that many adults read Harry Potter _.（分数：1.00）A.to follow suitB.to kill timeC.to enjoy
42、a second childhoodD.to share Harrys adventures(5).According to the author, the Never-Readers _.（分数：1.00）A.will take up reading as their lifelong hobbyB.have got more from the book than from the filmC.may barely get interested in other books than Harry PotterD.can hardly be driven by the crowds to re
43、ad any book(6).The word “it“ underlined in Paragraph 5 refers to _.（分数：1.00）A.writingB.filmC.the novelD.book(7).The Occasional Readers are referred to as sad cases because _.（分数：1.00）A.theyre too busy to enjoy regular readingB.theyre suffering from the heavy workloadC.they have a hard time selecting

46、the publisherC.the media hypeD.its thrilling storiesAlthough “naming rights“ have proliferated in American higher education for the past several decades, the phenomenon has recently expanded to extraordinary lengths. Anything to get an extra dollar out of donors is fair game. I know colleges and uni
47、versities sorely need to raise funds in these times of fiscal constraints, but things have gotten a bit out of hand.Universities and colleges have long been named after donors-think of Harvard, Yale, Brown, and many others. John Harvard would hardly get a bench named after him today, given the modes
48、ty of his gift of books for the library back in the seventeenth century. Now it takes much more to get ones name on a college. One institution, Rowan University of New Jersey, changed its name (from Glassboro State College) not long ago when a large donation was made. Buildings, too, have been affec
49、ted. Traditionally, they were named after people such as distinguished scholars or visionary academic leaders; now theyre often named after big donors.Why is all of this happening now? The main motivation for the naming frenzy is, of course, to raise money. Donors love to see their names, or the names of their parents or other relatives, on buildings, schools, institutions, professorships, and the like. Increasingly, cor
