Jane Austen ever popular

This summer, the UK will honor its favorite writers, Jane Austen (1775-1817), by making her the face of the new £10 note. In the 200 years since her death, Austen has been getting more and more popular all over the world.

And yet Austen’s works are so English that it’s rather strange she should be so popular all over the world. Her novels are so of their time that it’s strange that she’s still enjoyed in this very different age. Her most famous works including Pride and Prejudice, the one which she is most known for are about the world of the English gentry(贵族阶层)in the late 18th century.

Most of her works is about young women of that time. Women of the gentry could not work so their chances of happiness or even basic living depended upon finding a husband. This is a very serious subject matter, of course, but the joy of Austen’s stories is her ability to make wonderful, but also touching, comedy out of something so serious.

Take Pride and Prejudice as an example. Elizabeth Bennet is one of six daughters in a family that struggles with money problems. Her mother wants to marry off as many of them as possible. Mrs Bennet is one of the great comic characters of English literature.

The novel is developed by the love-hate relationship between Elizabeth and Mr Darcy. The pleasure of the novel is reading how these obstacles(障碍) are overcome and how the comical and unexpected ending is achieved.

If we think about this story, it’s clear why Jane Austen is still popular 200 years after her death, and why readers can still identify with characters from the long dead world of the 18th century English gentry. Although there have been many changes since that time, it’s still the greatest challenge in life for men and women to find the partner of their dreams.

1.From Paragraph 2 we can know that the writer ______.

A. believes Jane Austen’s works were ahead of their time

B. thinks that everyone should read Jane Austen’s books

C. is surprised that Jane Austen’s books are still so famous

D. doubts if Jane Austen is still popular all over the world

2.According to the passage, Pride and Prejudice __________.

A. has a sad and unexpected ending

B. deals with a serious social problem in a lighthearted way

C. is mainly about poor people’s struggles in the 18th century

D. tells readers that everyone can succeed through hard work

3.According to the passage, Jane Austen remains popular today because______.

A. readers enjoy reading love stories about wealthy people

B. her works are developed by the love-hate relationship

C. readers can always find something new from her novels

D. her works deal with problems many of today’s readers still face

4.The passage is mainly written to ______.

A. explain why Jane Austen is still popular today

B. introduce the story of Pride and Prejudice

C. introduce Jane Austen’s creative writing style

D. explain why Jane Austen was chosen to be on the new £10 note

A new App has been used in South Africa to benefit (有助于)the relationship between wildlife and humans.

Roadwatch, created by the Endangered Wildlife Trust (EWT),is designed to let drivers record any roadkill they see on the country's highways.

It may seem like a strange idea, but EWT says that it could become the perfect platform for receiving important information. Information on where endangered species (物种）are living and the danger that they are under from traffic can help to inform decisions on conservation of matters (物质守恒）in the future.

People can use the App through Facebook, WhatsApp, SMS and Linkedin to report the species, location, time and date of the creature that has been seen on the road.

Wendy Collinson field officer at EWT suggested that it could lead to more people taking care on the roads and paying more attention to animals that may be trying to cross the roads. One of the biggest problems is with reptiles (爬行动物）and snakes, which she believes people hit on purpose, as they are generally seen as scary. However, they are important to the health of ecosystems, just as all creatures are and also need to be protected.

Emily Taylor from EWT said, “Roadkill simply hasn't been studied here. The road ecology and how many endangered species are being killed, is something we need to know more about. We want people to report as much as possible.”

There have been some other Apps to use in relation to wildlife spotting in South Africa, but most of them are about animals that have not been knocked down, including those helping to collect information of where certain species have been seen, such as in parks.

1.Which is WRONG about the new App according to the passage?

A. Helping drivers record roadkill they see on the road.

B. Helping to collect information about animals in parks.

C. Benefiting the relationship between wildlife and humans.

D. Reporting the species, location, time and date of the animal.

2.Wendy Collinson thought using the new App could ______.

A. protect drivers from being bitten by snakes

B. make every driver a future environmentalist

C. teach people about the importance of protecting animals

D. make drivers look out for animals trying to cross the road

3.According to Wendy Collinson, people hit reptiles and snakes on purpose because ______.

A. they need no protection B. people kill them for food

C. they are born to be scary D. researchers study with them

4.The present situation about roadkill in South Africa is ______.

A. not enough attention has been paid to roadkill

B. EWT has done necessary research on roadkill

C. how many animals are being killed on the road is clear

D. injured animals are receiving proper treatment at EWT

Different Stresses As a Teenager

As a teenager, there are so many stresses in your life and so many things are changing . For example, your body is changing. When you observe yourself changing, you may not always be happy with what you see. Remember that everyone goes through these changes. Be proud of your body because it’s bringing you closer to being an adult.

Another difficulty that a teenager faces is how to deal with social groups. You want to fit in but sometimes it’s difficult to break into certain groups. In this case, you can speak to members of the group individually(分别地)and if they accept you, great; if not, leave it alone. If you try too hard to get into a group, they’ll be more likely to refuse you more, for fun. What’s more, it’s better to stay with those who like the way you are.

Teenagers may also have stresses in school. Teachers are going to prepare you for the outside world, which means you’ll have more schoolwork. At this time, you’d better take a step back and relax. After all, they just want you to succeed. In the real world, no one will tell you what to do, so take your time and make good use of it. If you have any problems, you can share them with your teacher.

Besides all the requirements at school, you may have more at home. If your parents have high expectations for you, you may feel stress from different areas. But remember they just want the best for you. If your parents aren’t interested in how your study is or who your friends are, you can find another adult like a teacher to believe in. If you get support from people you trust, your hard times will be over.
