Jane Austen (1775-1817) was an English writer. She started writing at a young age and finished six novels in her life. Today, her books are more popular than ever. In the past 10 years, five of her six novels have been made into Hollywood films, and her books are still best-sellers.
Richard Jenkyns, an English professor from Oxford University, says Austen's novels are about marriage, friendship and family. These topics are still close to our daily life today. "Her stories are timeless," Jenkyns says.
Pride and Prejudice (1813) (傲慢与偏见）is Austen's most famous work. It tells a love story between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy.At first, the two dislike each other. Elizabeth is pretty, smart and lively. She feels proud because Darcy knows little about her family. Mr. Darcy is handsome, rich and comes from a good family. So he is also proud. At the same time, Darcy holds prejudice(偏见) against the Bennet family. He can't understand why the family, especially the mother and daughters, try so hard to find rich and powerful husbands.He thinks they are vulgar . In the end, Elizabeth and Darcy fall in love and become a couple, though their families don't agree with it.
Austen is often called the greatest romantic writer, but it is surprising that she never married. "Maybe she was too romantic and was waiting for the perfect man," Jenkyns says.

Marie Curie, one of the greatest scientists in history, was born in Warsaw, Poland in 1867. When she was young, her family went through hard times: her mother died when she was 10, and her father lost his job soon after. Though life was difficult, she fell in love with science and kept studying hard. At that time, women in Poland were not allowed to go to university, so she worked for years to save money and finally moved to Paris for further study at the age of 24.
In Paris, Marie met Pierre Curie, a talented French scientist. They got married and worked together on the study of radioactivity(放射现象). In 1898, the couple discovered two new elements(元素). One was named polonium(钋), after Marie’s home country Poland. The other was radium(镭), and it had much stronger radioactivity than any known material at that time. They worked in a small, cold shed(棚屋) for years,and finally achieved their amazing discoveries.
In 1903, Marie and Pierre Curie, together with scientist Henri Becquerel, won the Nobel Prize in Physics. Marie became the first woman in the world to receive this great honor. Unluckily, Pierre lost his life in a traffic accident in 1906. Marie was deeply sad, but she didn’t give up her research. In 1911, she won a second Nobel Prize in Chemistry, making her the only person to win Nobel Prizes in two different scientific fields.
Marie Curie’s discoveries have greatly changed the world. Radium is widely used to treat cancer and save thousands of lives. Her spirit of hard work and brave exploration still encourages people around the world.

The Old Man and the Sea is the most inspiring book I have ever read. Written by the famous American writer Ernest Hemingway, it tells a simple but powerful story that has encouraged millions of readers.
The story is about an old fisherman named Santiago. For 84 days, he caught nothing and was considered unlucky by other fishermen. But he never lost heart. On the 85th day, he went far out to sea and finally caught a huge marlin(枪鱼). The fish was so strong that it pulled his small boat for three whole days. During those days, the old man suffered from hunger, pain and tiredness, but he never gave up fighting. Although he only brought back the fish skeleton(鱼骨架） in the end, he won the respect of everyone around him.
I first read this book when I was in Grade Eight. At that time, I failed my English exam several times and almost decided to give up. I felt upset and doubted my own ability. Then my English teacher gave me this book and asked me to read it carefully. After finishing the story, I was deeply moved by the old man’s strong will. I realized that failure is not the worst thing — giving up is.
From then on, I kept practicing English every day. I spent more time remembering words and reading passages. Little by little, my English improved a lot. This book taught me that as long as we keep trying and never give up, we can get through any difficulty in life. It will always be there to cheer me up whenever I face challenges in the future.
