Jane Austen (1775-1817), an English novelist, started writing young and completed six novels in her life. Today Austen's books are more popular than ever. In the last 10 years, five of her six novels have been made into Hollywood films, while her books continue to be best-sellers.
Richard Jenkyns, a professor of English at Oxford University, says that her novels are about marriage, friendships and the family, which are still with us today. "The stories are timeless," Jenkyns said.
Pride and Prejudice(偏见) (1813) is Austen's most famous work. It is a love story about Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy. At first, these two dislike each other. Elizabeth is pretty, smart and lively. She is proud because Darcy doesn't know about her family. Mr. Darcy is handsome, rich and has a better family background. So, he is proud as well. At the same time, Darcy holds a prejudice against the Bennet family. He has no understanding of why the family, especially its mother and daughters should try so hard to find wealthy and powerful husbands. He thinks they are vulgar. Anyway, Elizabeth and Darcy finally fall in love and become a romantic couple but their families don't want them to.
In Pride and Prejudice, some of the main things that Jane Austen wants to teach people are as follows. Opposites can attract each other. Lovers should not only make each other feel relaxed or comfortable, but also educate and improve each other.
Austen is often called the greatest romantic writer, so it is surprising she remained unmarried. 'Maybe she was too romantic, waiting for the perfect man," Jenkyns says.
53. From paragraph 1 and paragraph 2, we can know .
A. Jane Austen passed away in her fifties

A. 粗俗的
B. 鲁莽的
C. 吝啬的
D. 伪善的
56. From what Jenkyns says, we can learn .
A. opposites can attract each other
B. lovers should improve each other

Don't worry. Everyone has a fun side to his character. You must push your shy side away and show your classmates how fun you can be. The following advice on how to make friends with your classmates will be helpful to you.
First, smile at your classmates. One smile speaks louder about your wish to make friends than any words. Do this as often as you can, until they become used to your smiles and smile in return.
Next, try to talk to your classmates. The best time to do this is between classes or during your lunch break. Make sure that they are not busy. You may find that it's easier to start by talking to people when they are alone. Perhaps you could ask your classmates about your studies. They are likely to respond(回答) in a very positive way.
