A Famous Writer
In her speech to Harvard students in 2008， J.K.Rowling said， “…seven years after my graduation day， I had failed on an epic scale.”She went on to say that “by every usual standard， I was the biggest failure I knew.”
It might surprise some readers to know which period of her life J.K.Rowling was talking about here. She is talking about her life when she was writing the first novel of the Harry Potter books. The idea came to her during a train ride in 1990. In December that year， her mother died. The next few years were difficult for her. In 1993， her first but short marriage ended. She didn’t have much money and life was not easy. As she said in that same speech， “That period of my life was a dark one and I had no idea that there was going to be…a kind of fairytale resolution.”
As we all know now， the Harry Potter books went on to become extremely successful and also made her very rich. So where does think this success came from? She thinks it is a direct result of her early failures. As she went on to say， “Failure meant I stopped pretending to myself that I was anything other than what I was and began to direct all my energy into finishing the only work that really mattered to me… I was set free. ”
Her Harry Potter series was completed with its final book in 2007. The books have become a very successful film series and three years after the final book was published， a Harry Potter theme park opened in the United States. She has written other books related to the Harry Potter series and her first book for adults was published in 2012. She has also remarried and now has three children.

Is your TV connected to the Internet? What about your chair or your fridge? It is possible that they are not. But in the future， most things in your home may be connected， as the so-called “Internet of things” is developing.
The Internet of things may be coming sooner than you think. It is reported that during his speech earlier this year， Samsung (三星) CEO BK Yoon spent a lot of time talking about the Internet of things. He said that five years from now， every Samsung product will be part of the Internet of things， whether it's a washing machine or a vacuum cleaner(吸尘器).
So， how do household(家用) objects that are part of Internet of things work? Well， think of a usual chair. When connected to the Internet， the chair warms up when it knows that the user has just walked into the room and is feeling cold.
An Internet-connected camera， like a smart-home camera， could help people feel safer in their homes. It can recognize people’s faces， and even can see when someone passes by in the dark. Then it can send you a message on your smartphone to let you know who's there. If the person is someone you don’t know， it can tell you that， too.
But according to MIT Technology Review， whether companies are connecting dog food bowls or security (安全) systems to the Internet， there may be problems. For example， many early connected-home devices (装置) don't have much built-in security， which means they could be hacked (被黑客攻击). In addition， it could be difficult to get these devices to work together because they are made by different companies. To fight this， many companies have joined the Open Interconnect Consortium， which had 45 members by late 2014.
So， picture this； you walk in through the front door of your home. The temperature changes to make you feel comfortable after a long day at school. Your favorite music starts playing for you. Do you think that this would be a good thing? It may happen sooner than you think.
