三.阅读理解

A

Jane Austen (1775-1817) was an English writer. She started writing at a young age and finished six novels in her life. Today, her books are more popular than ever. In the past 10 years, five of her six novels have been made into Hollywood films, and her books are still best-sellers.

Richard Jenkyns, an English professor from Oxford University, says Austen's novels are about marriage, friendship and family. These topics are still close to our daily life today. "Her stories are timeless," Jenkyns says.

Pride and Prejudice (1813) (傲慢与偏见）is Austen's most famous work. It tells a love story between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy.At first, the two dislike each other. Elizabeth is pretty, smart and lively. She feels proud because Darcy knows little about her family. Mr. Darcy is handsome, rich and comes from a good family. So he is also proud. At the same time, Darcy holds prejudice(偏见) against the Bennet family. He can't understand why the family, especially the mother and daughters, try so hard to find rich and powerful husbands.He thinks they are vulgar . In the end, Elizabeth and Darcy fall in love and become a couple, though their families don't agree with it.

Austen is often called the greatest romantic writer, but it is surprising that she never married. "Maybe she was too romantic and was waiting for the perfect man," Jenkyns says.

1.How many novels did Jane Austen complete in her lifetime?

A. Five            B. Six           C. Ten               D. Twelve
