     Jane Austen, a famous English writer, was born at Steventon, Hampshire, on December 16, 1775, and died
on July 18, 1817. She began writing early in life, although the prejudices of her times forced her to have her
books published anonymously ( 匿名 ).
     But Jane Austen is perhaps the best known and best loved of Bath's many famous local people and visitors.
She paid two long visits here during the last five years of the eighteenth century and from 1801 to 1806, Bath
was her home. Her deep knowledge of the city is fully seen in two of her novels, Northanger Abbey and
Persuasion, which are largely set in Bath. The city is still very much as Jane Austen knew it, keeping in its
streets and public buildings the well-ordered world that she described so well in her novels. Now the pleasure
of learning Jane Austen's Bath can be enhanced (增強(qiáng)) by visiting the Jane Austen Centre in Gay Street. Here,
in a Georgian town house in the heart of the city, you can find out more about Bath in Jane Austen's time and
the importance of Bath in her life and work.
     The Centre has been set up with the help and guidance of members of the Jane Austen Society. After your
visit to the Centre, you can look round the attractive shop, which offers a huge collection of Jane Austen
related books, cards and many specially designed gifts. Jane Austen quizzes are offered to keep the children
busy.
     You can also have walking tours of Jane Austen's Bath, which is a great way to find out more about Jane
Austen and discover the wonderful Georgian city of Bath. The tour lasts about one and a half hours. The
experienced guides will take you to the places where Jane lived, walked and shopped.

If you are a 30-plus plain Jane, or if you are not a local fresh graduate, get ready for the embarrassment(尷尬) in the job market. And you are just one of the millions to face discrimination（歧視）.
About 85 percent of the 3,424 people covered by a survey in 10 big cities, including Beijing and Shanghai, said discrimination in work and employment（就業(yè)） did exist. Also, the survey results given on Friday showed that 58 percent thought the problem to be severe（嚴(yán)重）.
Appearance, height and gender are the most discriminative categories（范疇）, the Beijing Morning Post reported.
Some requirements could be funny. The newspaper said Beijing citizen Zhang Meng, who had more than 10 years’ driving experience, failed to get a job because his possible employers considered his name to be “unlucky”.
“Meng”, they said, literally(字面上)means “rush” in Chinese, which made him more accident prone（傾向）than others.
Employers discriminate against people from certain regions or areas, such as Central China’s Henan Province, because of the bad impression they have about them. Beijing citizens, too, have their share of bad luck because they are generally considered lazy.
Cai Dingjian, a professor from China University of Political Science and Law, who headed the survey, said such requirements, which are not connected with the job itself, violate（侵犯）people’s equal right to look for a career. “It violates basic human rights,” he said to the newspaper.
Cai said governments should pay attention to such discriminations because they exist not only in companies, but are also practiced by them. One example is that civil servants(公務(wù)員) are usually required to have a pleasant personality.
Director of the labour law committee under the All China Lawyers Association
Jiang Junlu said the lack of related laws was at the root of all discriminations.
46. Zhang Meng failed to get a job because __________.
A. he had made more mistakes than others
B. he lacked driving experience
C. he was considered to have an unlucky name
D. he couldn’t find a pleasant employer
47. What is people’s response to discrimination in job market?
A. They think it is unfair but necessary due to the large population of China.
B. It does exist in certain regions, but is not so serious.
C. Something must be done to stop it by governments.
D. It is a local problem and isn’t worth much concern.
48. What can be an effective way to fight against discrimination according to the passage?
A. To fine companies which practice discrimination.
B. To make laws related to discrimination.
C. To stop more people moving into cities.
D. To train people those who are poor in skills.
49. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Discrimination not only exists in companies, but also in governments.
B. Employers nowadays concern more about appearance, height and gender.
C. People in Beijing will never worry about experiencing discrimination.
