Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte, is the story of a young woman’s struggle to find happiness. As a child, Jane is sent to live with her aunt and uncle after her parents die. Her aunt and cousins are very cruel to her. Then, Jane is sent to Lowood, a school for poor children. Here, she experiences more cruelty. The students do not get enough food to eat and they have to wear old, ugly clothes. At Lowood, Jane makes a good friend, Helen Burns, who is very kind and patient. She believes that it is better to do without the things you want. Even though Jane loves Helen, she cannot agree with her. Jane believes that both rich and powerful people and poor people deserve the same treatment.

Jane leaves Lowood years later and becomes the private teacher of the daughter of Mr. Rochester, who is a very rich man. Jane is still not completely satisfied with her life because she realizes that women do not have the freedom to choose what they want to do—she has become a teacher because she has no other choice.

Jane and Mr. Rochester fall in love and make arrangements to get married. However, on the day of the wedding, Jane is disturbed to learn that Mr. Rochester is already married. His wife is mad and is locked in the attic. Mr. Rochester says that he still wants to marry her. Even though Jane loves him, she knows that it would not be a good idea to stay with him. So, she makes the difficult decision to leave him.

Jane meets St John Rivers and his sisters, and stays with them. Jane finally has the loving family that she has always wanted. After some time, St John proposes to Jane. As Jane does not truly love him, she refuses him even though he is a good man. Jane goes back to Mr. Rochester to find out that his wife has died and they are free to get married. By following what she believes is right, Jane finds happiness in the end.

It is a truth which people of different age understand music differently and enjoy different kinds of music.

It may surprise bookworms, but apparently masterpieces such as Jane Eyre are lacking in something — sound effects. An electronic-book firm is adding background noises and music to the works of Charlotte Bronte, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and William Shakespeare in the hope of attracting younger readers. In one example, a description of rain lashing against a window in a Sherlock Holmes story will be “enhanced” with matching noises.

The first multimedia e-books — with sounds to accompany novels — will be available this Friday in the UK. The Booktrack releases are available to iPad users, with other tablet computer versions to follow. The concept is already in use in the U.S., where the classics come with added sound effects. Readers for example can hear the china cups chinking in Mr. Darcy’s garden as they read Pride And Prejudice.

A story by Booker Prize winner Salman Rushdie will be released later in the year with a specially crafted orchestral score. Rushdie’s story In The South will be released with a soundtrack provided by the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra.

The Power Of Six by Pittacus Lore, a novel for young adults, is one of the first to be tested with a soundtrack which builds in suspense in keeping with the plot. It works by timing the speed of each reader and the software measures the “turning” of a page and moves the music or sounds along accordingly. It has been created by Booktrack which synchronizes (使同步) music to each novel. It is funded by Peter Thiel, a co-founder of PayPal.

Mr. Thiel said, “It’s always exciting to witness the creation of a new form of media. The technology promises to captivate readers in a different way.”

However, they have been greeted with horror by traditionalists, who say the technology takes away the pleasure of having one’s imagination stimulated by a story. They also raise the prospect (预期) of having to ask an overly eager reader to turn their book down. David Nicholls, whose bestseller One Day was recently turned into a film starring Anne Hathaway, said, “This sounds like the opposite of reading. It would be a distraction.”

1.What’s the purpose of the electronic-book firm adding sound effects to masterpieces?

A. To add some creative factors to the e-books.

B. To arouse interest of the readers.

C. To satisfy the readers’ great need.

D. To promote the technology progress.

2.Where was the idea that sounds are added to accompany novels first put forward?

A. Britain.　　　　 　　　　 　 B. Australia.

C. New Zealand.　　　　　　　 D. America.

3. The following should be done to make a soundtrack work, EXCEPT _________.

A. measuring how long each reader spends in reading

B. increasing the volume of the music or sounds

C. making out the reading speed

D. changing the music or sounds with pages turned

4. What’s Mr. Thiel’ attitude to the future of the new form of media?

A. Doubtful.　　　　 B. Indifferent.

C. Hopeful.　　 　　 D. Pessimistic.

高二英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

Perhaps the first novel to best express the modern idea of the self was Jane Eyre, written in 1847 by Charlotte Bronte.

Those who remember Jane Eyre solely as required reading in high-school English class likely recall most vividly a childhood banishment(流放) to a death-haunted room, a mysterious presence in the attic, and a cold mansion going up in flames. It’s more seemingly the stuff of Lifetime television, not revolutions. But as unbelievable as many of the events of the novel are, even today, Bronte’s biggest accomplishment wasn’t in plot devices. It was the narrative voice of Jane — who so openly expressed her desire for identity, definition and meaning — that rang powerfully true to its 19th-century audience. In fact, many early readers mistakenly believed Jane Eyre was a true account (in a clever marketing scheme, the novel was subtitled, “An Autobiography”)，perhaps a validation of her character’s authenticity.

The way that novels paid attention to the particularities of human experience (rather than the universals of romances) made them the ideal vehicle to shape how readers understood the modern individual. The novel seemed perfectly designed to tell Bronte’s first-person narrative of a poor orphan girl searching for a secure identity—first among an unloving family, then a charity school, and finally with the wealthy but unattainable employer she loves. Unable to find her sense of self through others, Jane makes the surprising decision to turn inward.

The broader cultural implications of the story—its insistence on the value of conscience and will—were such that one critic worried some years after its publication that the “most alarming revolution of modern times has followed the invasion of Jane Eyre：' Before Rene Descartes's cogito ergo sum (“I think, therefore I am”)，when the sources of authority were external and objective, the aspects of the self so central to today’s understanding mattered little then.

To be sure, no earlier novelist had provided a voice so seemingly pure, so fully belonging to the character, as Bronte, She developed her art alongside her sisters, the novelists Anne and Emily, but it was Charlotte whose work best captured the sense of the modern individual. Anne Bronte's novels Agnes Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall contributed to the novers ability to offer social criticism, while the Romantic sensibilities of Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights explored how the “other,” in the form of the dark, unpredictable Heathcliff，can threaten the integrity(完整) of the self.

One of the greatest testimonies(证明) to Bronte's accomplishment came from a modernist pioneer, Virginia Woolf, who declares, “Jane’s voice is the source of the power the book has to absorb the reader completely into her world.” Woolf explains how Bronte depicts: ...an overpowering personality, so that, as we say in real life, they have only to open the door to make themselves felt. There is in them some untamed ferocity perpetually at war with the accepted order of things which makes them desire to create instantly rather than to observe patiently.

It is exactly this willingness — desire, even — to be “at war with the accepted order of things” that characterizes the modern self. While we now take such a sense for granted, it was，as Bronte’s contemporaries rightly understood, radical (激进的) in her day.

“_______,’’ Jane says as she is dragged by her cruel aunt toward banishment in the bedroom where her late uncle died. This sentence, Joyce Carol Oates argues, serves as the theme of Jane’s whole story.

Charlotte Bronte created a new mold for the self—a person’s inner life can allow her to change from the inside out.
