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(夫妻) 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（吸引） each other. Lovers should not only make each other feel relaxed or comfortable, but also educate and improve each other.
Austen os 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.From Paragraph 1and Paragraph 2,we can know_________.

A man has a cat. He likes her very much. At mealtime the cat sits at the table with him. The man eats with a knife and a fork(叉), but the cat eats from her plate.Sometimes, when she finishes her dish, her master（主人） will give her a little his food. He shares(分享) his meal with her. One day the cat is not at the table at mealtime.
“Ah! Where is my cat?” asks the man. His wife says, “Can’t you eat without her?”
So the meal begins without the cat. Before lunch is over, the cat rushes（冲）into the room and jumps into the chair quickly. She has two mice in her mouth, and before anyone can stop her, she drops(扔下) one into her own plate, and the other into her master’s plate.
“Dear me!” cries the woman, “A mouse is in your plate!”
“Hush(安静)!” says her husband. “This shows that she is a nice cat. She knows what friendship is.
She hopes I share her dinner as I often share mine with her.The master loves his cat very much.
The cat never shares her food with her master.
One day the cat is not at the table at mealtime.
The cat hurries(匆忙)back home with one mouse in her mouth when the master and his wife are having lunch.
The story tells us the cat also loves her master.
