Without Her Name

It is a truth universally acknowledged that Pride and Prejudice by English novelist Jane Austen is one of the most popular tales ever written. But behind the global admiration she enjoys today lies a sad fact.1.

In Pride and Prejudice, she was simply the author of Sense and Sensibility, which had carried the title “By a Lady.” The anonymity(匿名) worked so well that even friends of the Austen family had no idea that dear, sweet Jane was a novelist. A friend of Jane' s brother Henry actually told him that Pride and Prejudice was “much too clever to be the work of a woman.”

2.Tom Paine, a Founding Father of the United States, kept his identity hidden for a short time after the publication of his famous Common Sense.

For a woman, however, there was the added burden of societal expectations. Any sort of publishing or public display of talent was considered improper behavior for a woman.

It wasn't only fear about “bad manners” that discouraged women from writing under their own names.3. Charlotte Bronte, author of Jane Eyre, once sent her poetry to Robert Southey, a famous poet. Southey simply responded: “Literature cannot be the business of a woman's life.” Bronte used her pen name, Currer Bell, to publish Jane Eyre in 1847.Her sister Emily published Wuthering

Heights as Ellies Bell in the same year.

4.Mary Shelley' s Frankenstein(《科学人》) had come out without her name in 1818.Mary Anne Evans wrote Middlemarch and her other novels under the pen name George Eliot.

The 20th century saw great progress towards gender equality. In theory, it should be unnecessary for women writers to follow Austen' s path any longer, unless driven by personal reasons.5. Joanne Rowling, author of the Harry Potter novels, was advised to become J. K. Rowling. That's because boys might dislike the feeling of picking up a book by a woman. Connie Ann Kirk explained in her biography of Rowling.

A.Jane Austen has attracted a great deal of critical attention in recent years.

B.Women 's writing was seldom taken seriously.

C.Politicians, for reasons of safety, also frequently chose to be invisible.

D.In practice, however, certain prejudices just won't go away.

E.in a 2016 interview, Italian novelist Elena Ferrante claimed her use of a pen name let her concentrate on writing.

F.in her own time, Austen 's name never appeared on her books.

G.They joined a long list of women authors who felt they had to hide.

Life isn’t fair. That universal truth is something that children seem to understand at a young age，but the path through which they develop a sense of what’s fair and what isn’t—and how they act on injustices—is something that has been a puzzle for social scientists.

To find out which aspects of fairness might be universal and which might be culturally driven，a team of scientists traveled to seven countries to study how different groups of children play fair. The researchers designed an “inequity(不公平) game” that they used to test 866 pairs of children aged 4 to 15 in Canada，India，Mexico，Peru，Senegal，Uganda and the United States.

Two children of the same gender(性别) and similar age were seated across from each other and were offered some candy. Sometimes the allocations were equal and sometimes they were not. One of the two children got to decide whether both of them accepted the allocation or rejected it. The experiment was set up to work through a machine that required the child to pull one handle to accept the deal—resulting in the candy being poured into a bowl for two children each—and a different handle to reject it—pouring the sweets into a third bowl where neither one would get to eat them.

In all seven countries，the results indicated a rejection of disadvantageous inequity. That is，when the children were allocated less candy than others，they tended to route all the treats into the bowl that no one could access. The reactions to advantageous inequity were more mixed. Children in only three countries—the United States，Canada and Uganda—had a tendency to reject unequal distributions of candy when they got more than others. “Given that these countries tend to stress principles of equality，it is possible that children in these countries face social pressures to learn these principles earlier，” the researchers wrote.

1.What does paragraph 3 talk about?

A.The players of the game.

B.The tools of the game.

C.The rules of the game.

D.The results of the game.

2.Which factor can significantly affect kids’ attitude to advantageous inequity?

A.School education.

B.Social environment.

C.Parents’ influence.

D.National development.

3.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A.To discuss the importance of fairness.

B.To draw readers’ attention to inequity.

C.To offer kids some tips for rejecting inequity.

D.To introduce a study on how kids play fair.

The justification for a university is that it preserves the connection between knowledge and the zest of life, by uniting the young and the old in the imaginative consideration of learning. The university imparts information, but it imparts it imaginatively. At least, this is the function which it should perform for society. A university which fails in this respect has no reason for existence. This atmosphere of excitement, arising from imaginative consideration, transforms knowledge. A fact is no longer a burden on the memory, it is energizing as the poet of our dreams and as the architect of our purposes.

Imagination is not to be divorced from the facts: it is a way of illuminating the facts. It works by eliciting the general principles which apply to the facts, as they exist, and then by an intellectual survey of alternative possibilities which are consistent with those principles. It enables men to construct an intellectual vision of a new world, and it preserves the zest of life by the suggestion of satisfying purposes.

Youth is imaginative, and if the imagination be strengthened by discipline, this energy of imagination can in great measure be preserved through life. The tragedy of the world is that those who are imaginative have but slight experience, and those who are experienced have feeble imagination. Fools act on imagination without knowledge; pedants（学究）act on knowledge without imagination. The task of university is to weld together imagination and experience.

1. The main theme of the passage is ____.

A. the access to knowledge in university   B. the function of universities

C. the role of imagination in our lives

D. the relationship between imagination and experience

2. According to the passage, the justification for a university is that ____.

A. it presents facts and experience to young and old

B. it imparts knowledge to imaginative people

C. it combines imagination with knowledge and experience

D. it enables men to construct an intellectual vision of the world

3. The word “eliciting” in paragraph 2 probably means ____.

A. applying      B. challenging     C. drawing forth      D. preserving

4. Which of the following is NOT discussed as one of the things imagination can do?

A. It makes our life exciting and worthwhile.    B. It helps us to understand the world.

C. It helps us to formulate Laws about the facts.  D. It provides inspiration to the artists.

5. According to the author, the tragedy of the world is that ____.

A. our energy of imagination cannot be preserved  B. our imagination is seldom disciplined

C. we grow old inevitably     D. too many people are either fools or pedants
