26、ily for young people. She firmly believes that there is always and should always be a wider audience for any good book whatever its main market is. In Mollies opinion it is necessary to make full use of language and she enjoys telling a story, which is what every writer should be doing. If you arent

27、 telling a story, youre a very dead writer indeed, she says. With the chief function of a writer being to entertain (让人愉快 ), Mollie is indeed an entertainer. I have this great love of not only the meaning of language but of the music of language, she says. This love goes back to early childhood. Ive

28、 told stories all my life. I had a school teacher who used to ask us what we would like to be when we grew up and, because my family always had dogs, and I was very good at handling them, I said I wanted to work with dogs, and the teacher always said Nonsense, Mollie, dear, youll be a writer. So fin

This childhood intention is described in her novel, A Sound of Chariots, which although written in the third person is clearly autobiographical (自传体的 ) and gives a

30、 picture both of Mollies ambition (理想 ) and her struggle towards its achievement.

38、computer and connect your own computer to it. All of the art is stored in the school computer. It is computer art, produced electronically by artists on their own computers. In only a few minutes, your computer can receive and copy all the pictures and drawings. Robert Shostak is director of the new

39、 computer museum. He says he starts the museum because computer artists had no place to show their works. A computer artist can only record his pictures electronically and send the records, or floppy discs, to others to see on their computers. He can also put his pictures on paper. But to print good

40、 pictures on paper, the computer artist needs an expensive laser printer. Robert Shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art or computer students at schools and universities.
