    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(《傲慢与偏见》) (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 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.

Why do you stay here, my dear?" Mike asked. "And why are you barking?" The dog looked at him and looked at the well. "Bow-wow- wow ,”he barked even louder. Mike asked his friend Jim for help." Come here, Jim," he said." The dog wants to tell us something.”

    They looked down in to the well .They saw a. boy there. The boy couldn't speak. He was too scared(惊恐)。Mike went to get a rope( 绳)at once. He climbed down to save the boy with the help of the rope. The dog was really clever.

"I'm giving her a photo," says Brian."I took it with my new camera (照相机). {#blank#}1{#/blank#}" he asks his brother Joey.

"I don't know." says Joey."I don't have a camera. So I can't take a picture."

"{#blank#}3{#/blank#}" says Joey's mom.

Some kids love computer games and spend too much time on them. They often hear Mom or Dad shout at them, "Enough! Turn off the computer and find some other things to do!"

Their parents are right. Why? If you're always playing computer games, you won't get enough exercise, so you may become fat. And if you spend too much time playing computer games, you'll have less time to make friends or do your homework. What's more, if you play computer games often, you may get angry easily and fight with others often. 

But here's the good news: Playing computer games for a short time can be OK. Just choose (选择) some good games and spend no more than two hours a day. Play the games for your age. You can play with your mom, dad or even your grandma together. It's a good way to relax.
