Every night， just after the sun goes down． Ruth Medjber talks with her neighbours in Dublin， lreland， and takes a picture of them at their windows．
These photos， in some way． show people's lives during the global pandemic （大流行病）．
"I started out taking photos of just friends and family． In this way． I could connect with them during this special time when people have to stay at home．" the photographer explained． "I live alone， so I was missing the days when we were free to communicate with friends， Every evening， on my way to seeing friends， I had a sense of purpose．
Now she' s making new friends．
The photo project has taken off online． and she has opened it up to volunteers． But they must be the people who live within 5 kilometers of her home﹣the lrish goverment doesn't allow people to go farther out than that．
"I pick a street each night and try to take photos of volunteers．" Ruth said． "I usually take about four photos before it is completely dark， but two if I'm talking a lot﹣which I love to do．"
She said more and more neighbours are joining in her photo project and i has now got a name， Love at Home．
"I think people like knowing that they ‘re not alone even if they have to stay at home， and they really try to pick out those who are similar to themselves in the photos，" she said． "lt's also a different view （视角） of the pandemic： the more human view．Instead of showing what the pandemic has taken from us，it shows that it has given Us more chances to be with family and friends and spend time together．
"I think we'd love Most to find something nice， even in the most serious situation as it is now．"Ruth said．

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．Jane Austen passed away in her fifties |
| B．Austen’s works remain 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. |

| 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. |
What does the underlined word”vulgar” in Paragraph 3 mean?

As a child, I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost. These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.
Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared (使惊恐) me so much. There was never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passing car lights, which made clothes on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains (窗帘) seem to move when there was no wind. A very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the day. My imagination would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would lie very still so that the “enemy” would not discover me.
Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home. That was no problem. After school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn’t let the leaders out of my sight.
Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others. Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one.
One of the processes (过程) about growing up is being able to realize and overcome (克服) our fears. Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life. would scare the writer at night.
| A．Streetlight and car lights |
| B．Wild animals and enemies |
| C．Moving curtains and wind |
| D．Strange sights and sounds |

| C．follow others closely |
| D．make sure not to take a wrong bus |
Which of the following statements would be possibly TRUE when she was a child?
| A．She thought being popular among people was important. |
| B．She was always the leader of the others. |
| C．She always got poor grades. |
| D．She was not at all liked by others. |
