The popularity of the series has made Rowling the most popular children's author ever.The interest in the books from both adults and children aroused the enthusiastic reading among younger children eager for the next part of Harry's adventures. Queen Elizabeth II honored Rowling in 2000,titling her as an Officer of the British Empire.She remarried in 2001,to Dr.Neil Murray,with whom she has two children,David and Mackenzie.In her public life,she devotes time to causes dear to her,including relieving world poverty,and funding research towards medicine. 24.How did Rowling make a living in the early 1990s?

Since the 1980s,China has been taking seeds of rice and other crops to space to help them mutate and produce higher yields once they were planted on Earth.But growing rice in orbit is a different challenge due to the tough conditions of space such as microgravity and lack of air Rice has been a main food for astronauts since the early days of space exploration. Freezedried chicken and rice was the menu for the Apollo 11 mission,which carried the first humans to land on the moon in July 1969. "But if we want to land on and explore Mars,bringing food from Earth is not enough to provide for the astronauts'long journey and mission in space.We have to find a food source for long term space explorations,"Zheng added.

She waited patiently for the chemist()to give her some attention but he was too busy. So she took a quarter from her piggy bank and hit it hard on the counter.That did it!"And what do you want?"the chemist asked in an angry voice."I'm talking about my brother from Chicago whom I haven't seen in ages." "Well,I want to talk to you about my brother.He's really,really sick...and I want to buy a miracle."Tess replied. "I beg your pardon?"said the chemist. "My brother has something bad growing inside his head and Daddy says only a miracle can save him now.So how much does a miracle cost?" "We don't sell miracles here.I'm sory but I can't help you,"the chemist said,softening a little. "Listen,I have the money to pay for it.If it isn't enough,I will get the rest.Just tell me how much it costs.” The chemist's brother was a well-dressed(穿着体面的)man.He came over and asked Tess, What kind of a miracle does your brother need?" "I don't know,"Tess replied with her eyes welling up."I just know he's really sick and needs an operation.But my Daddy can't pay for it,so I want to use my money." "How much do you have?"asked the well-dressed man."One dollar and eleven cents,"Tess answered in a low voice. 注意：1.续写词数应为100左右，2.开头已给出。 Paragraph 1: Well,what a coincidence(巧合)，”smiled the man.
