8.British 19th century novelist Jane Austen will become the face of the new 10pound note,the Bank of England said on Wednesday.
Jane Austen is a famous woman writer who wrote such works as Pride and Prejudice,Sense and Sensibility and Emma.She will replace naturalist Charles Darwin on Britain's most popular banknote.
In April,Britain's central bank announced the former Prime Minister Winston Churchill would appear on the reverse side of the five pound note,replacing the social reformer Elizabeth Fry.This action led to people's outcry.They said that it meant women were not as equal as men on the country's banknotes.
Mark Carney,the first foreigner to head the bank in its 319-year history,praised Austen as"one of the greatest writers in English literature (文學(xué))"
"We believe that our notes should celebrate the full diversity of great British historical figures and their contributions in a wide range of fields,"he told a gathering at the Jane Austen House Museum in Chawton,the 17th century house where the author wrote some of her best-known novels.
The Austen notes are likely to appear in 2017.On the note,there will be a portrait of Jane Austen,together with the quote"I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading!"from Pride and Prejudice.
Like many other countries,Britain changes the design of its banknotes at regular times to avoid counterfeiting (偽造的) risks.
Since 1960,most of historical figures in banknotes have been men.In the mid 1970s,the nurse Florence Nightingale appeared on the 10pound note for the first time,but the notes went out of issue in the early 1990s.
Carney said it was never the Bank's intention that none of the four characters on its notes should be a woman."You can see that our job at the Bank of England is to protect the value of the new Jane Austen note,"he said.

42.What can we learn about the ten-pound note in England?A
A.Charles Darwin is now on its face.
B.It's the second most popular banknote.
C.Elizabeth Fry once appeared on its face.
D.Jane Austen will be on it with Winston Churchill.
43.The underlined word"outcry"in Paragraph 3probably meansB.
A.doubt             B.disagreement       C.reception         D.welcome
44.The appearance of Jane Austen on the banknotes shows thatA.
A.people are encouraged to read more books
B.counterfeit notes won't happen in Britain
C.women are as equal as men in Britain
D.literature means a lot to everyone
45.This passage is most probably taken fromD.
A.a(chǎn) novel            B.a(chǎn)n advertisement    C.a(chǎn) journal         D.a(chǎn) newspaper.

5.A modern-day love story of a man seeing the girl of his dreams across a New York subway train and tracking her down over the Internet has failed to have a fairytale ending with the relationship over.
For Web designer Patrick Moberg,then 21,from Brooklyn,it was love at first sight when he saw a woman on a Manthttan train last November.But he lost her in the crowd so he set up a website with a sketch(素描)picture to find her-www.Nygirlofmydreams.com.
Unbelievably in a city of 8 million people,it only took Moberg 48 hours to find the woman,with his phone ringing non-stop and email box overflowing.New Yorkers took pity on the subway Romeo and joined his hunt.
The mysterious girl was named as Camille Hayton,from Melbourne,Australia,who was working at the magazine Black Book and also lived in Brooklyn.One of her friends saw the sketched picture on the Web site and recognized her.
But after finding each other,appearing on TV and getting international press,the couple took their romance out of the public eye,with Moberg closing down the Web site and with both refusing to make any more comments-until now.
Hayton told Australian newspaper The Sunday Telegraph that she dated Moberg for about two months but it just didn't work out.
"I say we dated for a while but now we're just friends,"Hayton,now 23,told the newspaper.Hayton said she is still recognized about three times a week on the streets of Manhattan as"that girl"and the question is always the same:"So what happened?"
"I think the situation was so intense that it linked us,"she said,adding,"it linked us in a way that you could mistake,I guess,for being more romantic than it was.I don't know.But I wanted to give it a go so didn't wonder what if,what if?"
Hayton told The Sunday Telegraph that she is enjoying single life in New York,keeping busy with acting classes,working in two clothing stores.Last week she had a small role as a waitress in the long-running daytime soap As the World Turns.
"I just can't believe it happened.It feels like a long time ago,"said Hayton.Moberg,however,was still refusing to comment on the relationship.
51.After Moborg lost the girl in the crowd he set up a website withD
A.a(chǎn) pretty notice to find her      
B.a(chǎn)n inspiring story to move her
C.a(chǎn)n exciting program to attract her  
D.a(chǎn) rough drawing to discover her

A.he phoned everybody in the city             
B.he got help from the net citizens
C.he continued his hunt day and night       
D.he e-mailed everybody in the city

A.She still gets noticed in the streets in New York.
B.She has become a journalist in Australia.
C.She has become a superstar in the city.
D.She is out of work and is looking for a new job.
54.The best title for this passage may beC
