Rowling is the author of the most successful book series in history, but her attempt to take on a new career as a screenwriter hasnt been as s

11、mooth as she may have thought it would be. The sequel(续篇), “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald”, shows that even the most successful author in the world is in need of checks and balances when making the transition to cinema.Following the sale of half a billion copies of the Harry Potter ser

12、ies, Rowling is working hard to extend and enrich the mythology she created around the child wizard. In contrast to the eight Harry Potter movies, which were based on the seven books and most of which were written by experienced screenwriter Steve Kloves, the “Fantastic Beasts” series is scripted on

13、ly by Rowling. This time she skipped the bookstores and went straight to the movie theater.The “Fantastic Beasts” series takes its title from one of Harry Potters textbooks. The leap backward in time, a new set of adult heroes and a globe-spanning background show that Rowling is in tune with her fan

14、s and the spirit of the times. Harry Potter and his friends started out as a typical product of 1990s naivety, but since then the loyal veteran audience has experienced the shocks of the 21st century and grown mature and discouraged. The “Fantastic Beasts” series feel less like childrens fare; they

15、deal with adults and frightening events that occurred in Europe at the end of the 1920s.Its 193, and the criminal Grindelwald has escaped from prison to Europe. The hero, Newt Scamander, a zoologist of fantastic beasts, prefers to distance himself from politics and maintain his improvised nature res

16、erve in London. But the young Prof. Dumbledore reminds him that neutrality is not an option in hard times. Dumbledore urges him to cross the Channel to Paris and stop Grindelwald, who is trying to plot a war to ensure the purity of the wizard race.The rough outline of the plot constitutes only part

17、of the movie. There are many other characters who appear in the mystery. I will mention the boy Credence who continues to have a central role in the struggle between the hero and the villain, even as his background remains a mystery. Similarly, Newts brother and partner, the snake-woman Nagini, and

18、other new and old characters hint at an obscure past and future. Rowling populates her world with characters large and small, odd beasts and simplifies its story to lay the foundation work of the universe. The film lays strong foundations of mystery, but forgets to build any sort of structure above

19、them. Its like a construction site where the budget ran out too fast.With movie screens full of superheroes and fantasy films, and every studio trying to float a fictional universe, Rowling is todays most creative builder of cinema worlds, but theres still a difference between her and a mega-corpora

20、tion like Disney. Every character and beast is there because Rowling said so, not because the marketing division thought it would promote sales of merchandise. Rowling clearly has a true passion to create a mythology, and just as clearly, she hasnt yet finished creating it.The “Fantastic Beasts” ser

21、ies offers a world even fuller than that of Harry Potter. Once more she collaborates with David Yates, who directed the last four Harry Potter movies and now the two “Fantastic Beasts” pictures. Still, the world shes created would be even more wondrous if Rowling had only filled it out with a crysta

22、llized or at least coherent plot. In the Harry Potter series, she mostly succeeded in making the films into independent works. But without experienced screenwriters to mediate between her imagination and the screen, the two “Fantastic Beasts” episodes are more like a chess game in which the creator

23、moves characters from A to B as part of a broader strategy-which remains unclear.“Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” is a film made for existing fans and doesnt bother to appeal to a new audience. Not by chance does it offer a more mature world for fans who have grown up at least as much a

24、s Daniel Radcliffe. For them, the movie delivers the goods, but little of the magic remains. If Rowling continues to put out films without a beginning and an end, her world will collapse, leaving only the middle. It may be entertainment with captivating characters and effects, but its not a movie.1、

25、What changes has J.K. Rowling made in her writing career?AShe was forced to abandon her original writing career and start a new one.BShe was determined to skip the bookstores and publish books on her own.CShe started a new fantasy book having nothing to do with the Harry Potter series.DShe tried to

30、rtant hidden factor in lowering the achievement of school pupils, according to researchers carrying out international education tests.It is a particular problem in richer countries with sleep experts linking it to the use of mobile phones and computers in bedroom late at night. Sleep deprivation is

31、such a serious problem that lessons have to be dragged down to a lower level to suit sleep-deprived learners, the study found. The international comparison, carried out by Boston College, found the United States to have the highest number of sleep-deprived students, with 73% of 9- and 10-year-olds a

32、nd 80% of 13- and 14-year-olds identified by their teachers as being negatively affected.In literacy(读写能力) tests there were 76% of 9- and 10-year-olds lacking sleep. This was much higher than the international average of 47% of primary pupils needing more sleep and 57% among the secondary age group.

33、Other countries with the most sleep-deprived youngsters were New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, Australia, England, Ireland and France. High-performing Finland is also among the most lacking in sleep. Countries with the best records for getting enough sleep include Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Portugal, the Czec

34、h Republic, Japan and Malta.The analysis was part of the huge date-gathering process for global education rankings, the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study(TIMSS)and Progress in International Reading Literacy Study(PIRLS)“I think we underestimate the impact of sleep. Our data show

35、that across countries internationally, on average, children who have more sleep achieve higher in maths, science and reading. That is exactly what our data show,” says Chad Minnich of the TIMSS and PIRLS International Study Center.“Its the same link for children who are lacking basic nutrition,” say

36、s Mr Minnich, based at the Lynch School of Education, Boston College. “If you are unable to concentrate, to attend mentally, you are unable to achieve at your best level, because your mind and body are in need of something more basic. Sleep is a fundamental need for all children. If teachers report

37、such large proportions of children suffering from lack of sleep, its having a significant impact. But worse than that, teachers are having to adjust their instruction based on those children who are suffering from a lack of sleep. The children who are suffering from a lack of sleep are driving down

38、instruction.”That means that even the children who are getting enough sleep are still suffering from this sleep-related lowering.1、What did the researchers of Boston College try to findAWhy children dont get enough sleepBHow many hours children sleep every nightCThe relationship between sleep and te

55、I got a call from Lori Goler，a highly regarded senior director of marketing at eBay. She made it clear this was a business call. “I want to apply to work with you at Facebook，she said. Instead of recommending myself，I want to ask you: What is your biggest problem，and how can I solve it?”My jaw hit t

56、he floor. I had hired thousands of people over the previous decade and no one had ever said anything remotely like that. People usually focus on finding the right role for themselves，with the implication that their skills will help the company. Lori put Facebooks needs front and center. It was a kil

57、ler approach. I responded, Recruiting is my biggest problem. And, yes, you can solve it.Lori never dreamed she would work in recruiting, but she jumped in.

58、d to her current job, leading People Facebook.The most common metaphor（隐喻，暗喻）for careers is a ladder，but this concept no longer applies to most workers. As of 2010，the average American had eleven jobs from the ages of eighteen to forty-six alone. Lori often quotes Pattie Sellers，who came up with a m

59、uch better metaphor: “Careers are a jungle gym，not a ladder. ”As Lori describes it，theres only one way to get to the top of a ladder，but there are many ways to get to the top of a jungle gym. The jungle gym model benefits everyone，but especially women who might be starting careers，switching careers，

60、getting blocked by external barriers，or reentering the workforce after taking time off.
