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(貴族階層)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(障礙) 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

For years people have enjoyed following the life of Garfield the cat. Garfield is a popular comic book character, known for being lazy and fat. But the cat was back in the news recently for something you might not expect.

A man in the United States changed the gender of Garfield to “none” on the cat’s Wikipedia ( 維 基 百 科 ) page. After that lots of people got angry and kept

changing Garfield’s Wikipedia page. They argued about whether the cat was a boy,

girl or neither.

Wikipedia finally locked the page to stop people editing( 編輯) it. Jim Davis, Garfield’s creator, settled(解決) the argument.

“Garfield is male,” he simply told the Washington Post. The 71-year-old artist said he liked working with animals because they didn’t have to be old, young, boys or girls. He was angry that some people cared so much about Garfield’s gender.

It seems like quite an unnecessary argument to have. But it is not the only recent example of argument about gender.

To celebrate International Women’s Day in Australia earlier this year, the city of Melbourne made

10 traffic lights with a figure( 人形) dressed in a skirt. They were designed to celebrate Women’s Day and give them more confidence in public.

But not everyone thinks the idea is necessary. Some people think it is important for women to be treated fairly in Australia, but that this idea is silly.

“I’m all for doing anything we can for gender equity(公平), but really?” Melbourne mayor( 市長)

Robert Doyle told the Herald Sun. The mayor said this idea is more likely to be laughed at than bring respect to women.
