encourage her and help her build the confidence that one day she would be a very good writer. “he was the first person with whom i really discussed my serious ambition to be a writer. he was also the only person who thought i was bound to（注定）be a success at it, which meant much more to me than i ever told him at the time.”though there were many difficulties, rowling continued her writing, particularly fantasy stories. but it wasnt until l990 that she first came up with the idea about harry potter. as she recalls, it was on a long train journey from london to manchester that “the idea of harry potter simply fell into my head. to my great disappointment, i didnt have a pen with me, and i was too shy to ask anybody if i could borrow one. i think, now, that this was probably a good thing, because i simply sat and thought, for four (delayed train) hours, and all the details came up in my brain, and this thin, black-haired, bespectacled（戴眼镜的）boy who didnt know he was a wizard became more and more real to me.” that same year, her mother died after a ten-year fight with serious diseases, which deeply affected her writing. she went on to marry and had a daughter, but separated from her husband shortly afterwards.during this time, rowling was diagnosed with depression（诊断患有抑郁症）. unemployed, she finished her first novel in area cafes, where she could get her daughter to fall asleep. after being refused by l2 publishing houses, the first harry potter novel was sold to a small british publishing house.now with seven books that have sold nearly 400 million copies in

tests on rats(老鼠) show that those who raise two or more litters of pups do considerably better in tests of memory and skills than rats who have no babies, and their brains show changes that suggest they may be protected against diseases such as alzheimers(老年痴呆症). university of richmond psychology professor craig kinsley believes his findings will translate into humans.“our research shows that the hormones of pregnancy(怀孕) are protecting the brain, including estrogen(雌激素), which we know has many neuroprotective (保护神经的) effects,” kinsley said.“its rat data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals,” he added in a telephone interview. “they go through pregnancy and hormonal changes.”kinsley said he hoped public health officials and researchers will look to see if having had children protects a woman from alzheimers and other forms of age-related brain decline.“when people think about pregnancy, they think about what happens to babies and the mother from the neck down,” said kinsley, who presented his findings to the annual meeting of the society of neuroscience in orlando, florida.“they do not realize that hormones are washing on the brain. if you look at female animals who have never gone through pregnancy, they act differently toward young. but if she goes through pregnancy, she will sacrifice her life for her infantthat is a great change in her behavior that showed in genetic alterations(改变) to the brain.” “they do not realize that hormones are washing on the brain. if you look at female animals who have never gone through pregnancy, they
