         Science fiction is a popular kind of writing, and many people think of Jules Verne as the father of science
    fiction. He was born in France in 1828. His father wanted him to become a lawyer, but from his early 20s
    Verne decided to become a writer. At first he wrote plays for the theater. Then, in 1863, he wrote a story
    called Five Weeks in a Balloon. The success of this book encouraged him to write more stories such as A
    Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864) and From the Earth to the Moon (1865).
         In the 19th century, many people were interested in science and inventions. Jules Verne wrote about
    scientific subjects in his stories and, as a result, they were very popular. Verne's writing included many
    predictions (预言) for the 20th century and many of them came true. He described space flight, movies,
    and air conditioning, a long time before they appeared. These books were very successful and they made
    Verne rich. Jules Verne's books have been the subjects for many movies. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea was
    a successful movie for Walt Disney. It was the first Disney movie to use real actors instead of cartoon
    drawings. Around the World in Eighty Days is another famous movie based on one of Verne's books. The
    main character is an Englishman called Phileas Fogg. For him, the most important thing is to be always
    on time!
    1. What does the phrase"the father of science fiction" mean?
    A. The father who has several children.
    B. The man who loves science and inventions.
    C. The writer whose father wrote science fiction.
    D. The man who first started writing science fiction successfully.
    2. What encouraged Jules Veme to write more stories? 
    A. The plays he wrote for the theater.
    B. The encouragement from his father.
    C. The success of Five Weeks in a Balloon.
    D. The scientific subjects in his stories.
    3. Why were Jule8 Verne's books very popular in the 19th century?
    A. Because his books made him rich and famous.
    B. Because he wrote many plays for the theater at that time.
    C. Because his books have been the subjects for many movies.
    D. Because many people were interested in science and inventions.
    4. Which of the following has the main character called Phileas Fogg?
    A. Five Weeks in a Balloon.
    B. Around the World in Eighty Days.
    C. A Journey to the Center of the Earth.

    A. Jules Verne only wrote plays in the 19th century.

         Gloria is a famous hostess of a TV station. When she was 15, she happened to walk into a bookstore
    in her hometown and began looking at the books on the shelves. The man behind the counter, John Smith,
    asked if she'd like a job. She needed to start saving for college, so she said yes.
         Gloria worked after school and during summer vacations, and the job helped pay for her first year of
    college. During college she would do many other jobs: she served coffee in the student union, was a hotel
    cleaner and even made maps for the Forest Service. But selling books was one of the most satisfying jobs.
         One day a woman came into the bookstore and asked Gloria for books on cancer. The woman seemed
    anxious. Gloria showed her practically everything they had and found other books they could order. The
    woman left the store less worried, and Gloria has always remembered the pride (自豪) she felt in having
    helped her customer (顾客).
         Years later, as a television hostess, Gloria heard about a child who was born with problems with his
    fingers and hand. His family could not afford an operation, and the boy lived in shame, hiding his hand in
    his pocket all the time.
         Gloria persuaded (说服) her boss to agree to let her do the story. After the story was broadcast, some
    doctors called, offering to perform the operation for free.
         Gloria visited the boy in the hospital after the operation. The first thing he did was to hold up his repaired
    hand and say, "Thank you." What a sweet sense of satisfaction Gloria felt!
         At Smith's bookstore, Gloria always realized she was working for the customers, not the store. Today
    it's the same. The TV station pays her, but she feels that she should work for the people who watch the
    programmes, helping them understand the world better.
    1. When did Gloria get her first job?
    A. A few years before college.
    B. Several years after college.
    C. When she was studying at college.
    D. When she was working in the TV station.
    2. In which part-time job did Gloria feel the happiest?
    A. Cleaning in the hotel.
    B. Selling books in the bookstore.
    C. Serving coffee in the student union.
    D. Making maps for the Forest Service.
    3. What does the word "she" in the third paragraph refer to (所指)?
    A. The boss.
    B. The woman.
    C. Gloria.
    D. The doctor.
    4. How did Gloria help the child get the operation he needed?
    A. Her boss agreed to raise money.
    B. She paid for the operation herself.
    C. She allowed the boy to show on TV.
    D. Her news report affected some doctors.
    5. What particularly gives her the feeling of pride?
    A. Helping people through her work.
    B. Reporting interesting stories.
    C. Being able to do different jobs well.
    D. Paying for her college education herself.
