Today Austens 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 Austens 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 doesnt 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 but their families dont 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 each other. Lovers should not ony make each other feel relaxed or comfortable, but also educate and improve each other.Austen is often called the greatest romanti writer, so it is surprising she remained unmarried. Maybe she was too romantic, waiting for the perfect man,”Jenkyns says.（1）From Paragraph 1and Paragraph 2,we can know .A . Jane Austen passed away in her fiftiesB . Austens works remain popular todayC . all of Austens works have been made into Hollywood films.D . Austens works are mostly about war and the family.（2）Which of the following sentences is True?A .
