Among the most famous women writers of this period is Aphra Behn, who is seen as the first professional woman writer in English. She wrote a number of plays that dealt with topics such as racism and slavery. A good example is Oroonoko published in 1688. Aphra Behns works include also the plays The Amourous Prince, The Town Fop, The Dutch Lover and her only tragedy, Abdelazer.The neoclassical periodAmong the well-known women in Bristish literature during the neoclassical period, from 1660 to the end of the eighteenth century, is Anne Finch. She wrote poetry and tried to express all that she saw and experienced. Two other women are recognized for their contribution to neoclassical British literature: Mary Astell and Lady Mary Wortley Montagu. Mary Astell was a philosopher and a feminist writer. She is best known now for her theories on the education of women.The Romantic periodJane Austen is one of the most famous women writers that worked during the Romantic period (1798-1832). Her works include several novels, most of which focus on marriage as a way for young women to secure social standing and economic security. Her most famous novels are Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility and Emma. Another famous woman writer from the English Romanticism is Mary Shelley. She is the author of Frankenstein, History of Six Weeks Tour and The Last Man.The Victorian periodThe Victorian period, between the 1830s and 1900, was the time when the Bronte sisters, George Eliot and Elizabeth Gaskell lived and wrote. Charlotte Bronte, Emily Bronte and Anne Bronte produced many British literary classics. Charlottes novels include Jane Eyre, Shirley, Villette and The Professor. Mary Anne Evans adopted the male pen name George as she wanted to set herself apart from the feminine genre of cookbooks and domestic moral tales. Her most famous novel is The Mill on the Floss published in 1860.21.

Even after an appropriate update to: Manners make the person, its thought-provoking(引人深思的)especially to todays Americans.When we think about what makes the personits more likely the degree, the job, the salary. Since when do we count manners as a measure of success?We do know that these would make life nicer, if more tolerable. Nevertheless, we forget or overlook our manners. So it seems, does everyone elseincluding, unluckily, our children.As a university president, one of my great joys is to visit our campuses and see our students though were separated by different generations, interests, and, of course dressing, each student tells me something within the first few minutes that we meet: whether he or she has been taught manners. I sense this in different ways: through her words or her gestures, in the way she listens or how he refers to friends and faculty, how she greets and says goodbye, how he responds when an elderly person enters the room.In the absence of manners, however, I make some allowances. For instance, the many ethnic(种族的)groups that students represent often have different explanations of what makes up good manners. In other cases, some students may reject what theyve learned to break from their parents and be accepted by other students. Whether students are being different or openly opposing, a recent experience I had with them tells me that theres some hope for reviving and good manners.Good manners dont just guarantee acceptance. Good manners open doors to deeper connections and more meaningful roles in our society. Good manners are gentle signals that show we care about one another and allow us to relate to another person in a thoughtful way but at a respectable distance.25. Which of the following is seldom a mark of success to people today?A. Handsome income. B. Polite behavior.C. An academic degree. D. High ranks in the office26. The main idea of paragraph 4 is more likely that .A. manners can be taught in different waysB. how the president of New College cares about his students C. generation gap does exist between students and faculty membersD. what students say and do can indicate if they have mannered behavior27. From the last paragraph we can learn that the biggest benefit by good manners would be that .A. Good manners guarantee acceptance of othersB. Good manners inspire students to study harderC. Good manners help deeper connections with othersD. Good manners guarantee students to get whatever they wantCAnts are troublesome, best known for itchy bites and ruining picnics.

No one is entirely sure why, He said.David Oi , a research entomologist at the Department of Agriculture, told The New York Times in 2013, the strange idea that the ants are actually attracted to the electricity itself cant be ruled out.The crazy ants or Raspberry ants-yep, thats actually what they are called-are found in23 Texas counties. The ants have very little venom（毒液）, but do cause a slight sting whenthey bite. Mostly, though, theyre a hazard to electrical equipment.They are a relatively new species in the region and little is known about how to control orkill the population. And, unfortunately, there doesnt seem to be much that can be doneabout them right now.
