When Jane Austen (1775--1817) wrote her novels in England, she was writing about a   21  that most of us would not recognize.

But today Austen’s books are in great   22   than ever. In the last ten years, five or six novels have been   23   into Hollywood films, while her books continue to be bestsellers. So why is Austen still   24  ?

Her novels are about women   27  to find a perfect husband, but also  28  issues surrounding marriages, friendships and the family. “The plots are fairly timeless about human interaction   29  are familiar to us,” Jenkyns says.

The most famous book Austen wrote is Pride and Prejudice, a   30   story between Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy. At first the two   31  do not get on. They   32   fall in love, but still have to   33   opposition to their relationship from their families.

All of Austen’s books are   34   to read, making them popular with children and adults,

  35  they work on different levels so people can take  36  they need from them, author Kate Henry says.

“You can choose to see the politics and feminism(男女平等思想) in them,  37  you don’t want to take on those issues you can turn a blind eye to it,” she says.

  38  is often hailed(赞扬) as the greatest romance writer in the English language, so it is surprising she remained  39  . “Maybe she was too much of a romantic, waiting for a    40

man,” Henry says.

There are some topics that readers never grow bored with, and the search for a suitable partner(伴侣) is one of them. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, first published in 1813, tells the story of five young women, all of whom are looking for a husband. In order to fully understand the novel, the readers must know that at the time when Jane Austen was writing, if a family was not rich, the daughters needed to marry well in order to live a comfortable, independent life. That is the reason why Mrs. Bennet, the mother of the five girls, is so eager to have her daughters married.
The heroine of the story is Elizabeth Bennet, and as in all good romantic novels, she and Darcy, the man she finally marries, remain separate until the very end of the story. The wealthy Darcy is a proud, unsociable man, and when Elizabeth hears that he has insulted both her and her family, she dislikes him very much. Poor Darcy then falls head over heels in love with Elizabeth, and has to work terribly hard to persuade her to change her mind about him. He succeeds of course, and they live happily ever after.
Set at the turn of the 19th century, the novel is still attractive to modern readers. It has become one of the most popular novels and receives great attention from literary scholars(学者).Modern interest in the book has resulted in a number of dramatic(戏剧的)and a lot of novels and stories modeling after Austen’s memorable characters or themes. To date, the book has sold some 20 million copies worldwide.
Jane Austen is rightly famous for her style. Her sentences have a wonderful rhythm(韵律), and she makes such clever, true comments about people. It is not surprising that Pride and Prejudice has lasted.
【小题1】In the 19th century, a poor girl in Britain was often encouraged to           .
