Jane Austen(1775—1817), an English novelist, started writing young and finished 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.
【1】From the passage we can know that Jane Austen was from ________.
A.the USA
B.the UK
C.the UN
D.the UFO
【2】From Paragraph 1 and Paragraph 2, we can know ________.

B.Austen’s works are still popular today
C.all of Austen’s works have been made into Hollywood films
D.Austen’s works are mostly about war and the family
【3】Which of the following sentences is True?
A.Elizabeth and Darcy fall in love at first sight.
B.Elizabeth has a better family background than Darcy.
C.Darcy has a first good impression of Elizabeth’s family.
D.Elizabeth and Darcy become a romantic couple in the end.
【4】What does the underlined word “vulgar” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.吝啬的
B.善良的
C.粗俗的
D.礼貌的
【5】“The stories are timeless” Jenkyns said. We can learn ________ from the sentence.

B.lovers should improve each other
C.Austen’s works go beyond her times
D.Austen married a perfect man at last
26、I’m a storyteller. And I would like to tell you a few personal stories.
I grew up reading British and American children’s books. When I began to write, I wrote exactly the kinds of stories I was reading: All my characters were white and blue-eyed, they ate apples and talked a lot about the weather, despite the fact that I lived in Nigeria. We ate mangoes and we never talked about the weather. Because all I had read were books in which characters were foreign. I had become convinced that books by their very nature had to have foreigners in them.Things changed when I discovered African books.Because of writers like Chinua Achebe and Camara Laye, I went through a mental shift in my idea of literature(文 学). I realized that people like me, girls with skin the color of chocolate, could also exist in literature.I started to write about things I recognized. So what the discovery of African writers did for me was this: It saved me from having a single story of what books are.
The year I turned eight, we got a new house boy Fide from a nearby rural village. The only thing my mother told us about him was that his family was very poor. And when I didn’t finish my dinner, my mother would say, “Finish your food! Don’t you know? People like Fide’s family have nothing.” So I felt great pity for Fide’s family. Then one Saturday,we went to his village to visit, and his mother showed us a beautifully patterned basket that his brother had made. I was astonished. It had not occurred to me that anybody in his family could actually make something. Their poverty (being poor) was my single story of them.
Years later, when I left Nigeria to go to university in the United States, my American roommate asked where I had learned to speak English so well, and was confused when I said that Nigeria happened to have English as its official language. What struck me was this: She had felt sorry for me even before she saw me. My roommate had a single story of Africa: a single story of disaster.
Of course, Africa is a continent full of disasters. But there are other stories that are not about disaster, and it is very important, it is just as important, to talk about them. The result of the single story is this: It robs people of dignity(尊严). It makes our recognition(认可)of our equal humanity(人性)difficult. It pays more attention to how we are different than how we are similar.
So what if my mother had told us that Fide’s family was poor and hardworking? What if we had an African television network that broadcast different African stories all over the world? What if my roommate knew about my Nigerian publisher, Muhtar Bakare, a remarkable man who left his job in a bank to follow his dream and start a publishing house?What if my roommate knew about my friend Funmi Iyanda,a fearless woman who hosts a TV show, and is determined to tell the stories that we prefer to forget?
My Nigerian publisher and I have just started a non-profit called Farafina Trust, and we have big dreams of building libraries and providing books for state schools, and also of organizing lots of workshops in reading and writing, for all the people who are eager to tell our many stories.
Stories matter.Many stories matter.Stories can break the dignity of a people, but stories can also repair that broken dignity. When we realize that there is never a single story about any place, we regain a kind of enjoyment.
【1】What is probably people’s first impression of the writer when it comes to her nationality(国籍)? ________
A.She mainly eats apples and mangoes.
B.She may not speak good English.
C.She comes from a place free of disasters.
D.She prefers stories based on foreign characters.
【2】The underlined phrase “a mental shift” in Paragraph 2 refers to the writer’s ________.
A.discovery of African books with characters of her skin color
B.acquaintance(相识)with local African writers like Chinua Achebe
C.realization (意识)that not only foreign characters exist(存在)in literature
D.change that she started to write about things she recognized(认可)
【3】How many personal stories has the writer mentioned in the passage? ________
A.Two.
B.Three.
C.Four
D.Five.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? ________
A.The danger of the single story
B.The importance of telling stories
C.The single stories that matter
D.Stories that can repair broken dignity
