The television news feature about Ben Heckmann, an eighth grader from Farmington, Minn, was breathless in its praise. “At 14, he has accomplished something many adults can’t achieve,” the reporter said, “Ben is a twice-published author.” But Ben’s two “Velvet Black” books, describing a fictional rock band, were not picked from a pile of manuscripts(手稿)by an eagle eyed publisher. They were self-published, at the cost of $400 by Ben’s parents.
Over the past five years, print-on-demand technology and a growing number of self publishing companies whose books can be sold online have inspired writers of all ages to avoid the traditional gatekeeping system for determining who could call himself a “published author.”
The mothers and fathers who foot the bill say they are simply trying to encourage their children, in the same way that other parents buy equipment for a promising baseball player. But others see self-publishing as a lost opportunity to teach children about hardship and perseverance. Mr. Robbins, a critic, thinks it is wonderful to start writing at a young age, but worries self-publishing sends the wrong message. “There are no prodigies(神童) in literature,” he said. “Literature requires experience, in a way that mathematics and music do not.” Alan Rinzler, a publishing industry veteran, suggested parents hire a professional editor like him to work with their child to tear a manuscript apart and help make a better. Ben’s father, Ken, said Ben’s ambitions “weren’t to knock Harry Potter off the list,” but “to get that good feeling inside that you’ve done something.”
Ajla Dizdarevic, 12, who has self-published two books of poetry, has been on television and in local newspapers. “Being a published author,” she said, “was always a dream of mine.” Her new dream: three books by age 15.
1.Which of the following is true of Ben?
A.He has achieved something unusual for his age.
B.His self-published books were well received.
C.His manuscripts were favored by the publisher.
D.He was thought little of by the public media.
2.What makes it possible for writers of all ages to self-publish their works?
A.The rapid increase of online readership.
B.The increasing number of publishers.
C.The immediate access to marketing agencies.
D.The development of printing and publishing.
3.Why do some parents pay the self-publishing bill?
A.They want to offer opportunities to their children.
B.They want to give encouragement to their children.
C.They want to help their children avoid hardship.
D.They want to show love and care for their children.
4.What dose Alan Rinzler suggest that children should do?
A.Be forbidden to write books
B.Start writing at an early age
C.Be professionally guided
D.Learn from experience
5.Why do some children self-publish works according to the last part?
A.Just to achieve their dreams.
B.Just to earn more money.
C.Just to gain self-confidence.
D.Just to satisfy their parents.

JK Rowling, the Harry Potter author, has signed a deal with Little, Brown and Company, to publish her first ever novel for adults, which is set to become one of the most anticipated (期望的) book in years.
The deal means that Rowling’s long-standing relationship with Bloomsbury, the London-based publisher that launched (發(fā)行) the Harry Potter books, has come to an end, at least in terms of new works by the author.
Rowling is keeping her fans guessing about the characters and plot of her new book. She only said that the new novel will be nothing like the Harry Potter series, which was sold over 30 million copies in the UK alone. She thought that with the move from children’s to adult fiction, a switch to a new publisher seemed like a natural and reasonable step.
She said, "Although I've enjoyed writing it every bit as much, this book will be very different from the Harry Potter series. The freedom to explore a new field is a gift that Harry’s success has brought me."
Ian Rankin, the Edinburgh-based author whose highly-successful detective novels are also set in the city, suggested Rowling’s book will be a crime novel.
"Wouldn’t it be funny if JK Rowling’s first novel for adults turned out to be a crime story set in Edinburgh?" he said.
Industry insiders guessed that the deal is worth more than £5 million and the new book is expected to come out later this year.
A spokesman said, "JK Rowling’s audience is vast and her position is unique. Harry Potter books were a global success and her fans are very loyal. Children that were eight, nine, or ten when the books first came out in the 1990s are now in their 20s. Plenty of adults, loved the books regardless of whether they had children, so the potential market for her is huge."
1.What does the text mainly tell us?
A. JK Rowling has signed a deal with a new publisher.
B. JK Rowling's new book will be more successful than her Harry Potter series.
C. JK Rowling’s first book for adults will be published later this year.

D. is expected to bring her more money than the Harry Potter series
3.The author used Ian Rankin’s words in order to .
A. tell us that some famous novelists offer to give Rowling some advice
B. show that many readers are curious about Rowling’s new book
C. tell us that many readers prefer to read detective or crime novels
D. prove that a crime story set in Edinburgh is sure to be successful
4.We can learn from the text that .
A. Little, Brown and Company is specialized in publishing adult books
B. the author has no doubt about the success of Rowling’s new book
C. JK Rowling will be a crime novelist as good as Ian Rankin
