When interviewed by a student magazine at Edinburgh University, J.K. Rowling said she had once been so depressed(抑郁)that she wanted to kill herself.
Rowling, 42, went through a low period in her mid–20’s, ending the marriage(婚姻) with her first husband. She had not become famous and rich with the Harry Potter series of books and was a single mother, fighting to earn a living.
“The thing that made me go for help,” said Rowling, “ was probably my daughter. She was something that comforted me and encouraged me. She cannot grow up with me in this condition.”
Her first try of getting help was a failure, however. The substitute(替班)doctor who took the place of her regular doctor ignored the signs of her suicide(自杀) and sent her home, telling her to come to speak with the practice nurse if she felt “a bit low”. “We are talking suicidal thoughts here,” said Rowling. “We are not talking about I am a little bit painful.”
Luckily for Rowling, her regular doctor was more sensitive and called her back into her office and got her in to consult. “She saved me because I don’t think I would have had the courage to go and do it twice.”
“I have never been ashamed(羞愧) of having been depressed,” added Rowling. “Never. What is to be ashamed of? Nobody can escape a hard time in life. I went through a really difficult time and I am quite proud that I got out of that.”
32. What caused Rowling’s depression?
A. Her low income. B. The character of Harry Potter.
C. Her first rude husband. D. Her unsuccessful marriage.
33. Rowling decided to face her problem bravely because she had to _________.
A. bring up her daughter B. finish her Harry Potter series of books
C. follow her doctor’s advice D. make money to feed a big family
34. From the passage we can know the substitute doctor _________.
A. didn’t think Rowling’s depression was serious
B. was more sensitive than Rowling’s regular doctor
C. called Rowling back for a second examination
D. just talked with Rowling to calm her down
