The time printed on the invitation was 7:30pm. Jane went off with her husband, expecting a merry evening of wine, food, and song.By

46、9:45, everybody was having great fun, but no food had appeared. Jane and David were restless. Other guests began whispering that they, too, were starving. But no one wanted to leave, just in case some food was about to appear. By 11:00, there was still no food, and everyone was completely off their

47、heads. Jane and David left hungry and angry.Their experience suggests that the words on the printed invitations need to be made clearer. Everyone reads and understands the invitations differently. Most of us would agree that 6:30-8:30pm means drinks only, go out to dinner afterwards; 8:00pm or 8:30p

48、m means possible dinner, but 9:30pm and any time there after means no food, eat beforehand, roll up late.But this is not always the case. If asked to a students party at 6:30pm, it is normal for guests not to appear before midnight, if at all, and no one cares. Being the first to arrive- looking eag

49、er-is social death. When my mother is asked to a party for 6:30, she likes to be there, if not on time, then no later than seven.

50、custom at present is confusing（混乱的）, sometimes annoying, and it often means you may go home hungry, but it does lend every party that precious element （成分）of surprise.68.

53、cessary to read invitations carefully.EYorkshire, England was the setting for two great novels (小说) of the 19th century. These were Charlotte Brontes Jane Eyre and Emily Brontes Wuthering Heights. The youngest sister, Anne, was also a gifted novelist, and her books have the same extraordinary, quali

54、ty as her sisters.Their father was Patrick Bronte born in Ireland. He moved with his wife, Maria Bronte, and their six small children to Haworth in Yorkshire in 1820. Soon after, Mrs. Bronte and the two eldest children died, leaving the father to care for the remaining three girls and a boy.Charlott

55、e was born in 1816. Emily was born in 1818 and Anne in 1820. Their brother Branwell was born in 1817. Left to themselves, the children wrote and told stories and walked over the hills. They grew up largely self-educated. Branwell showed a great interest in drawing. The girls were determined to earn

56、money for his art education. They took positions as teachers or taught children in their homes.As children they had all written many stories. Charlotte, as a young girl, alone wrote 22 books, each with 60 to 100 pages of small handwriting. Therefore, they turned to writing for income. By 1847, Charl

57、otte had written The Professor; Emily, Wuthering Heights; and Anne, Agnes Grey. After much difficulty Anne and Emily found a publisher (出版商), but there was no interest shown in Charlottes book. ( It was not published until 1869.) However, one publisher expressed an interest in seeing more of her wor

58、k. Jane Eyre was already started, and she hurriedly finished it.It was accepted at once；Thus each of the sisters had a book published in 1847.Jane Eyre was immediately successful；The other two, however, did not do so well. People did not like Wuthering Heights. They said it was too wild, too animal-

59、like. But gradually it came to be considered one of the finest novels in the English language. Emily lived only a short while after the publication of her book, and Anne died in 1847.Charlotte published Shirley in 1849 and Villette in 1853. In 1854 she married Arthur Bell Nicholls.
