Death Valley，one of America's great national parks，is a place of strange and silent beauty. As beautiful as this place is, its name provides evidence(迹象)of very real danger. Death Valley is a land of beautiful yet dangerous extremes. There are mountains that reach more than 3，000 meters into the sky. "There is a place called Badwater that is the lowest area of land in the Western Hemisphere. If there were water there，it would be 86 meters below the level of the ocean.
Death Valley can be dangerously cold during the winter months. Storms in the mountains can produce sudden flooding on the floor of the Valley. The air temperature during the summer has been as high as 57℃. The sun can heat the ground so that the temperature of the rocks and soil can be as high as 74℃. The extreme heat of Death Valley has ever killed people. It will continue to kill those who do not honor this extreme climate. Death Valley does not forgive those who are not careful.
Death Valley is a good example of the violence(暴力)of nature. It contains evidence of several ancient volcanoes that caused huge explosions. Evidence of one of these explosions is called Ubehebe Crater. The explosion left a huge hole in the ground almost a kilometer and a half wide.
In many areas of Death Valley it is easy to see where the ground has been pushed up strongly by movement deep in the Earth. This movement has created unusual and beautiful rock formations. Some are red. Others are dark brown，gray，yellow or black. Other areas of rock look as if some huge creature heavily broke and twisted the Earth to create unusual, sometimes frightening shapes.
In other parts of Death Valley there are lines in the rock that show clearly that this area was deep under an ocean for many thousands of years. Much of the alley is flat and very dry. In fact, scientists believe it is the driest place in the United States.

Jane Eyre written by Charlotte Bronte was published in 1847, but it is still hugely popular more than 170 years later.
However, Jane Eyre had a difficult early life. At that time it was difficult for women writers to be taken seriously. Jane, the main character, is a very independent（独立的）girl and woman. She does not keep to "her place" in the world.
In fact, Jane Eyre has become the main model for all modern romantic fiction. For a love story to be a love story, there has to be conflict（冲突）between the lovers. They have to be different to each other, so different that sparks（火花）fly. This is certainly the case with Jane Eyre and Mr Rochester.
Jane and Mr Rochester are from different social backgrounds. She is lowborn; he is highborn. He wants to control her, but she refuses to be controlled. In the novel this leads to furious（激烈的）scenes between the two, and all readers remember when Rochester asks Jane to run off. She says, "heart will not agree with it."
As a love story, there must be a coming together in the end in a romance. In Jane Eyre, Rochester is blinded in the fire that burns down his home, and so he is weaker than her. When she agrees to marry him, it is a kind of victory. This feature of the novel has been copied a thousand times by others.
Jane Eyre is a rebel（反抗者）in everything she does-as a poor servant, as a woman, as a lover. Why is the novel so popular? Quite simple, the world is full of people who can share the feelings of Jane Eyre.
1.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 means________.
A.Jane isn't accepted by other people at that time
B.Jane fights for a woman's position in the world
C.Jane has to depend on men for a high position
D.Jane wants to win a victory over Rochester
2.According to the passage, which of the following sentences is TRUE?
A.Jane agrees to run off with Mr. Rochester.
B.Mr. Rochester is blinded because of Jane Eyre.
C.Jane Eyre was a great success as soon as it was published.
D.The novel Jane Eyre is a model for all modern romantic fiction.
3.Why is the novel Jane Eyre still popular now?
A.Because it has a good ending in a romance.
B.Because Charlotte Bronte was a woman writer.
C.Because there are some conflicts between the lovers.
D.Because the characters show real human feelings.
4.What is the writer's main purpose in writing the article?
A.To introduce the writer Charlotte Bronte. B.To introduce a rebel Jane Eyre.
C.To introduce the book Jane Eyre. D.To introduce the writing methods.
