听力原文：M: Hi, Miss Rowling, how old were you when you started to write？ And what was your first book？
W: [22] I wrote my first finished story when I was about six. It was about a small animal, rabbit, I mean. And I've been writing ever since.
M: Why did you choose to be an author？
W: [23] 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 I'm writing. [24] 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: [25] I've no idea where the ideas came from. And I hope I'll 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 them, but I also collect strange names. I've gotten them from ancient saints, maps, dictionaries, plants, war memorials and people I've met.
M: Oh, you are really resourceful.

Ivy filled her life with meaning by launching a program to help poor children.
M: That's nice, Shelly. But do you mean the province of Quebec, or Quebec City？
W: I mean the province. My friend's wedding is in Montreal. I'm going there first. I'll stay for five days. Is Montreal the capital city of the province？
M: Well, many people think so because it's the biggest city. But it's not the capital. Quebec City is. But Montreal is great. The Saint Lawrence River runs right through the middle of the city. It's beautiful in summer.
W: Wow, and do you think I can get by in English？ My French is OK, but not that good. I know most people there speak French, but can I also use English？
M: Well, people speak both French and English there. But you'll hear French most of the time. And all the street signs are in French. In fact, Montreal is the third largest French-speaking city in the world. [20] So you'd better practice your French before you go.
W: [20] Good advice. What about Quebec City？ I'll visit a friend from college who lives there now, What's it like？
M: It's a beautiful city, very old. [21] Many old buildings have been nicely restored. Some of them were built in the 17th and 18th centuries. You'll love it there.
W: Fantastic. I can't wait to go.

According to the passage, why is bottled water so popular？
听力原文： Many people catch a cold in the spring time or fall. It makes us wonder: if scientists can send a man to the moon, [33] why can't they find a cure for the common cold？ The answer is easy. There're actually hundreds of kinds of cold viruses out there. You never know which one you will get, so there isn't a cure for each one. When a virus attacks your body, your body works hard to get rid of it. Blood rushes to your nose and causes a blockage in it. You feel terrible because you can't breathe well, but your body is actually eating the virus. Your temperature rises and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is killing the virus. You also have a running nose to stop the virus from getting into your cells. [34] You may feel miserable, but actually y9ur wonderful body is doing everything it can to kill the cold. Different people have different remedies for colds. In the United States and some other countries, for example, people might eat chicken soup to feel better. Some people take hot bath and drink warm liquids. Other people take medicines to relieve various symptoms of colds. There is one interesting thing to note. [35] Some scientists say taking medicines when you have a cold is actually bad for you. The virus stays in you longer, because your body doesn't develop a way to fight it and kill it.
