【题目】Philip Pullman spent a great deal of his childhood traveling abroad because both his father and stepfather were pilots in the Royal Air Force(皇家空军). As a child, he went on several long ocean voyages, and he lived in Africa and in Australia. “Before I was 11 I had been to eight different schools.”

“In Australia, I made a great discovery. TV hadn’t reached Australia yet, but everyone listened to the radio. I remember listening to gangster serials(黑帮剧), and cowboy serials, and best of all—Superman! When I first saw a superman comic(连环漫画), it changed my life. I’d been reading books for a long time, but I’d never known comics before. Soon afterwards, I discovered Batman, too, whom I loved even more.”

Pullman started writing his first novel the day after he had finished his final exams at Oxford University. “I discovered after about an hour that it was much harder than I’d expected. It still is! I found that the amount I could write comfortably every day was about three pages, so that’s what I’ve done ever since.”

Before he became a full-time writer, Pullman had been teaching for many years. “What I enjoyed most during that time was telling stories over and over, until I knew them as well as I knew my own life.” He had always loved telling stories—as a schoolboy he had entertained his friends by reading stories to them, or by making up his own.

One day he got a letter that had arrived at his door even though the writer of the letter didn’t know his address. The envelope(信封) just said, “Philip Pullman, The Storyteller, Oxford.”

【题目】If you are a fruit grower — or would like to become one —join in Apple Day to see what’s around. It’s called Apple Day but in fact it’s more like Apple Month. The day itself is on October 21, but since it has become popular, events now last through most of October around Britain.

Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety(品种) of apples. To people who are used to the limited kinds of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite eye-opening to see some classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. Although it doesn’t taste of anything special, it’s still worth a try.

There are also varieties developed to suit certain local conditions. One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you’ll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so it’s a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall in love with it.

At the apple events, you can also meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions, and because these are family affairs, children are well entertained with apple-themed fun and games.

Apple days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit, including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果园). If you want to have a real orchard experience, visit the National Collection at Brogdale, near Faversham in Kent.
