Thomas Taylor's original watercolor illustration for the first edition of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" published by Bloomsbury in 1997 is scheduled to be auctioned (拍卖)for June 26 in New York. The artwork is expected to bring in between $400,000 to $600,000, setting a record for any Harry Potter-related material ever offered at auction.
Illustrator Thomas Taylor was a 23-year-old recent art school graduate when he was hired by Bloomsbury to make a cover illustration for a fantasy children's book by then-unknown author J. K. Rowling. It was Taylor's first professional task, and he recalled being directed by Bloomsbury's editor to depict the scene — Harry approaching the Hogwarts Express at King's Cross Station. Despite having limited freedom for artistic expression, Taylor faithfully followed the instructions.
Taylor had the unique opportunity to read Rowling's early manuscript (手稿) on a train, making him one of the very first individuals to do so. The manuscript, only printed on one side, was missing Chapter 11, as the author was still making changes. Despite its incomplete state, Taylor found it to be a fascinating glimpse into the world of Harry Potter. Taylor revealed that he used the blank underside of each manuscript page for sketching. "And then I think I put the rest of it in the recycling bin," he said. "Of course now I really regret that."
But Taylor said at the beginning he had mixed feelings about this early, giant success. "Normally when you start out as an illustrator, you kind of hope that your first work will be a bit forgotten and then you'll develop and get better and better," Taylor told The Rowling Library. However, he said he's finally made peace with it ——in part because of how prized his Harry Potter book cover painting has become at auction.
Lichens(地衣) cover as much as 8% of the planet's surface, an area larger than that covered by tropical rain-forests. They can be found growing on bark, rocks or walls; in woodlands, deserts or tundra.
Some lichens are familiar to the herbalists who find uses through the "Doctrine of Signatures"(形象学说). For example, species of Lobaria are used to treat lung diseases because of their lung-like appearance. Lichens have also been used for their chemical components. Lichens provide natural dye(染色) stuff in many traditional cultures around the world, including the famous Harris tweed woolens of Scotland. Lichens are also used in the production of perfumes. For example, "oak moss" was used as a component of several high quality French perfumes in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Lichens also provide many important ecosystem services. Lichens contribute to biodiversity—they are found in all biomes. Some lichens are pioneers, so they are often the first to occupy newly exposed surfaces. Lichens also contribute to nutrient cycling. In some old-growth forests, lichens contribute up to 50% of the nitrogen. Many animals use lichens. Up to 90% of reindeer's winter food consists of lichens, and other animals use lichens for nesting material or hiding places. Lichens can also inform us about the condition of our environment. Many lichens require very specific environmental conditions. For example, presence of certain lichens can be an indicator of climate change. Some lichens are sensitive to air pollution and will disappear when air quality is poor.
Lichens are important also because they are beautiful to look at. How colorful would the rocks and cliffs be in the Rocky Mountains without the reds, yellows and greens of the crust lichens? Without these living creatures, our natural areas would look pretty boring and a little more lifeless.

Even though it's never been easier to see the latest movies at home, there's still nothing quite like watching a film in the dark of the cinema on the biggest screen possible. There are a number of ways you can bring the cost down to make it more affordable, whether it's an occasional treat or regular activity.
Avoid high-priced tickets
The most expensive tickets are going to be on peak times, which will usually run from Friday night until Sunday evening. But if you have the flexibility to go midweek or in the daytime you'll hopefully find lower prices. It'll depend on which cinema you have near you.
Consider a membership
Some cinema memberships also offer free tickets and then discounts on future visits, so they're worth looking at if you know you'll make the money back. But if you are going at least twice a month then the all-you-can-watch memberships can be fantastic value. However, one disadvantage is that if you want to see a film at a different chain you'll be paying again.
Use discounted gift cards
Or you can use cashback apps like Jam Doughnut and Hyper Jar to buy the gift cards and get a percentage back. What's good about these is that they stack with other offers, such as Meerkat Movies and silver screenings, so you save twice.
Finally, armed with your cheap cinema tickets, don't ruin all your good work by buying the popcorn at the cinema. The price is always high. But it can be easily avoided by hitting a supermarket beforehand to buy much cheaper treats. You don't need to secretly take them in because all the big cinemas allow you to do this.
A. Bring your own snacks. B. Treat yourself with the popcorn. C. Ticket cost shouldn't be a problem. D. There are deals running that offer cut-price tickets. E. Do check the normal selling price for your local cinema. F. You can also save by buying cinema gift cards when they're on sale. G. There might also be certain days at some cinemas where all tickets are reduced further. |

One sad memory that is 11 in my mind is of my mother in the hospital, battling the breast cancer that had 12 her to mere 85 pounds. Although her life was nearing its end, she was smiling 13 and talking to her nurse about how to best plant tulip bulbs. I stood silently in the doorway, wanting to cry but feeling such a surge of love and warmth.
Now, whenever I find myself sharing a moment with someone, "Don't you just love it when …", I am 14 of my mother and the lessons she taught me about connection, kindness, and finding 15 in the simplest of interactions.

As I walked towards the track, I glanced around me at the sea of faces in the stands, but my mind was focused. After I finished the six events of the heptathlon(七项全能) , the Olympic gold medal was just minutes away.
My heart was beating loudly, my mouth was dry and the adrenaline(肾上腺素) was pumping. I was so close to the realization of my childhood dream and the feeling was fantastic; it was completely exciting, but also terrifying. I knew I would have to push myself beyond my known limits to ensure that my dream came true.
I tried to keep calm, telling myself not to panic, to stick to the plan and to run my own race .I knew the Russian girls would set off quickly — and I had to finish this race fewer than ten seconds behind the Russian athlete Yelena Prokhorova. If I could do that, the gold medal would be mine.
I looked at the track and caught my breath. The 800m race stood between me and the gold medal.
The supporters were cheering so loudly that it seemed as if they were the only fans there. I could hear my name being called. I could hear the shouts of encouragement and the cries of hope. Flags fluttered all around the vast, beautiful stadium. I felt unified with the crowd — we all had the same vision and the same dream.
My ankle(脚踝) was bandaged against an injury I had got in the long jump just a couple of hours earlier, but I shut out all thoughts of pain. I just tried to concentrate on the crowd. Their cheers uplifted my spirits and I felt calm.
I knew I would do my best and that I would run my heart out and finish the race. I had just two laps to run, that was all. Just two laps and only two minutes. I kept telling myself, anyone could run for two minutes.
注意：1.续写词数应为150 左右；2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
The starting gun was fired, and the race began.
Prokhorova was running ahead of me.
