After he received his secondary education, Philip Pullman went to Exeter College, Oxford, to read English, though he never learned to read it very well. Philip Pullman found his way into the teaching profession at the age of 25, and taught at various Oxford Middle Schools before moving to Westminster College in 1986, where he spent eight years involved in teaching. ① His only real claim ② to anyone's attention lies in his writing. He has published nearly twenty books, mostly of the sort that are read by children, though he's happy to say that the natural audience for his work seems to be a mixed one in age, that is ③ ， though the more mixed in every other way as well, the better. His first children's book was Count Karlstein (1982). That was followed by The Ruby in the Smoke (1986), the first in a quartet ( 四重奏 ) of books. He did a great deal of research for the background of these stories, and he doesn't intend to let it lie unused, so there will almost certainly be more of them. He has also written a number of shorter stories which he calls fairy tales. This is a kind of story he finds very enjoyable, though difficult to write. However, his most well known work is the trilogy ④ His Dark Materials, beginning with Northern Lights in 1995, continuing with The Subtle Knife in 1997, and ending with The Amber Spyglass in 2000. These books have been honoured ⑤ by several prizes, including the Whitbread Book of the Year Award — the first time in the history of that prize that it was given to a children's book. When he is not writing books he likes to draw and to make things out of wood. He also likes to play the piano. He'd like to play it well, but he can't, so the rest of the family has to put up with ⑥ his playing it badly. 知识点击： ① where 引导非限制性定语从句修饰 Westminster College 。 ② claim( 依据权利的 ) 要求；声称；声明 ③ that is 也就是说 ④ trilogy 三部曲 ⑤ honour 给予荣誉 ⑥ put up with 忍耐；忍受
