Jane Eyre(简爱)tells the story of a good and independent woman, who does not depend on others and does not give up even facing many difficulties. Jane is poor and an orphan(孤儿)and is treated badly by her rich aunt and cousins. She is sent away to a school where the pupils are treated very badly. Jane remains strong, because she knows she is good. And when she had the chance to run away, she does. Jane takes a job in the house of a rich man called Mr Rochester.

Jane falls in love with Mr Rochester who is twenty years older than her. Jane is sad when Rochester brings a beautiful woman Blanche to his house. Jane thinks Rochester will marry Blanche. So she decides to leave. Rochester asks her to stay but she will not. She tells him she loves him and says that she is poor and not beautiful, but it does not mean that she has no feelings. She speaks to Rochester as a ‘spiritual equal’.

Rochester asks Jane to marry him and she agrees, but on the day of the wedding she finds out that Rochester is already married. Jane decides to leave and even though Rochester says his wife is mad and begs Jane to stay, she cannot. Jane will not stay with a man who is already married. She has no family to protect her and no money, but she is proud and she wants to do the right thing.

When Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte was first published, it was called an autobiography(自传). In Jane Eyre, Charlotte Bronte, like Charles Dickens, shows the double-standards in Victorian Britain. The poor and especially orphans were not given any protection by the law, they were seen as animals not humans. The rich lived a life of luxury(奢侈) and by giving a little money to charity they thought they had done their best.

We see many animals every day, but we would be worried if we saw any of these animals on our way to school!

Walking sharks

In 2006, scientists found a new kind of shark off the coast of Indonesia. It can “walk” with its fins along the coral reefs. These walking sharks are about 1 to 1. 2 metres long. They eat shrimp, crabs and small fish. If they are surprised by something, they can swim away using their fins.

The platypus

The platypus is found along the rivers and lakes of eastern Australia. It lays eggs like a bird, has webbed feet like a frog, a bill like a duck and is as poisonous as a snake! We are pleased to hear that it spends much of its life underground.

An unusual dolphin

In 2006, a Japanese fisherman caught an unusual dolphin. It has an extra set of fins near its tail, about the size of human hands. Scientists say that its extra fins could be the remains of back legs. This may be proof that dolphins once lived on land. Evidence from fossils tells us that dolphins were once four-footed land animals. Scientists believe that as they spent more and mor time in the water, their back legs slowly disappeared.
