Its often said that they are unemotional, or keep their emotions hidden. Emily Brontes characters in Wuthering Heights (呼啸山庄)(1847) seem very unEnglish then, since they are some of the most passionate in the literary history.This story is set in the north of England where Bronte grew up with her two famous sisters, the wellknown Charlotte and the lesserknown Anne.Bronte presents this part of the world as a wild place, with few of the graces of civilization. Indeed, one of the novels points is that nature can be as strong a force as civilization.Wuthering Heights begins with a tale from the past.We hear how Mr.Earnshaw, father to Catherine and Hindley, comes home one day from his travels with a child named Heathcliff. Heathcliff is loved by Earnshaw and liked by Catherine, but hated by Hindley, who is pushed aside by this “intruder (闯入者)”Catherine and Heathcliff form a passionate attachment (依恋). They are both wild and natural, much like the moor (荒野) they love to wander in. They are so close that Catherine declares herself to be Heathcliffs. If something comes to separate them, there will certainly be consequences.What separates the two is Catherines marriage to the very civilized and tame Edgar Linton from Thrushcross Grange. Catherine has fooled herself into thinking that she and Edgar are similar, and so she believes that he is better than Heathcliff. This belief, and Heathcliffs reaction to it, will cost Catherine her life.The tormented (痛苦万分的) story of Heathcliff and Catherine then repeats itself in the next generation.Wuthering Heights is a piece of romantic literature. The word “romantic” doesnt just mean that it is about love, but it is about love in the most wild and dangerous sense. This is the love that threatens what is apparently civilized.This is a story about nature and culture, about how the world tries to civilize nature, but how nature always bites back. This, for sure, is why readers today still relate to the novel, just as they still relate to tales like Romeo and Juliet. Love can be a dangerous thing.语篇解读：这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了艾米莉勃朗特的小说呼啸山庄。该书通过两代人复杂的感情纠葛，呈现人类与命运的艰难抗争。21How many daughters are there in Emily Brontes family?AFour.BTwo.CThree.

By putting people (rather than vehicles) first, Living Streets wants to create streets and spaces where people feel happier, healthier and more sociable.The annual campaign gives participants a great opportunity to experience the many virtues of walking. These include the physical health benefits of becoming fitter; the environmental advantages of not using vehicles; the delight of local discoveries seeing more of your local areas on foot; the enjoyment of walking with other people, whether family, friends or work colleagues and finally the stress relief that comes from walking walking can clear your head.Walk to School Week, 18 to 22 May, is part of the months activities and its aim is to encourage parents to send children to school on foot, rather than take them in the car or let them use public transport. The movement was started in 1995 with only five participating schools and now two decades later, more than one million children take part.Similarly, there is Walk to Work Week, 11 to 15 May, where grownups are encouraged to walk.
