Born and brought up near Edinburgh, Mollie has devoted her talents to writing primar
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
29、ally I thought that this woman must have something, since she was a good teacher and I decided when I was nine that I would be a writer. 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. Thoughts of her childhood inevitably(不可避免地 )brought thoughts of the time when her home was still a village with buttercup meadows and strawberry fieldssadly now covered with modern houses.I was once taken back to see i
31、t and I felt that somebody had lain dirty hands all over my childhood. Ill never go back,she said. Never.When I set one of my books in Scotland,she said,I can recall my romantic (浪漫的 ) feelings as a child playing in those fields, or watching the village blacksmith at work.

36、ting readers. C There are many famous museums throughout the world where people can enjoy art. Washington, D.C. has the National Gallery of Art (美术馆 ); Paris has the Luvre; London, the British Museum. Florida International University (FIU) in Miami also shows art for people to see. And it does so wi
37、thout a building, or even a wall for its drawings and paintings. FIU has opened what it says is the first computer art museum in the United States. You dont have to visit the University to see the art. You just need a computer linked to a telephone. You can call the telephone number of a university
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. Many of the pictures in the museum are made by students. Mr Shostak said the FIU museum will make computer art more
41、fun for computer artists because more people can see it. He says artists enjoy their work much more if they have an audience.
