Many people seem to think that science fiction is typified by the Bug-eyed Monster, embodying every feature that most people find unpleasant. This is unfortunate because it degrades a worthwhile literary endeavor. Instead, the basic interest of science fiction lies in the relation between man and his technology and between man and the universe. Science fiction is a literature of change and a literature of the future, and the aspects of human life that it considers make it well worth reading and studying for no other literary form does quite the same things. What is science fiction? To begin, the following definition should be helpful: science fiction is a literary subgenre which postulates(以…為前提) a change (for human beings) from conditions as we know them and follows the implications of these changes to a conclusion.
The first point that science fiction is a literary subgenre is a very important one, but one which is often overlooked. Specifically, science fiction is either a short story or a novel. There are only a few dramas which could be called science fiction; the body of poetry that might be labeled science fiction is only slightly larger. To say that science fiction is a subgenre of prose fiction(小說) is to say that it has all the basic characteristics and serves the same basic functions in much the same way as prose fiction in general, that is, it shares a great deal with all other novels and short stories.
Everything that can be said about prose fiction, in general, applies to science fiction. Every piece of science fiction, whether short story or novel, must have a narrator, a story, a plot, characters, setting, and language. The themes of science fiction are concerned with interpreting man’s nature and experience around him. Themes in science fiction are constructed and presented in exactly the same ways that themes are dealt with in any other kind of fiction. They are the result to a particular combination of a narrator, story, plot, character, setting, and language. In short, the reasons for reading and enjoying science fiction, and the ways of studying and analyzing it, are basically the same as they would be for any other story or novel.
【小題1】 From the first paragraph, we can infer that science fiction has been most popular in modern society because ____.

A．with the growth of literacy, the size of the reading public has increased
B．competition from television has created a demand for more exciting fiction
C．science fiction is easier to understand than other kinds of fiction
D．the increased importance of technology has given science fiction an increased relevance
【小題2】 According to the definition in the passage, a fictional work that places human beings in a prehistoric world inhabited by dinosaurs____.
A．cannot be called science fiction because it does not deal with the future
B．cannot be called science fiction because it doesn’t deal with technology
C．can be called science fiction because it deals with man’s relation with the world
D．can be called science fiction because it places people in an environment different from the one we know
【小題3】 Science fiction is called a literary subgenre because____.
A．it is not important enough to be a literary genre
B．it cannot be made into a dramatic presentation
C．it shares characteristics with other types of prose fiction
D．it has a great number of readers keen on reading
【小題4】 One implication of the final sentence in the passage is that____.
A．the reader should turn next to commentaries on general fiction
B．there is no reason for any reader not to like science fiction
C．the reader should compare other novels and stories to science fiction
D．those who can appreciate prose fiction can appreciate science fiction

Once upon a time, there was a man who was so famous that everyone in his country knew him.

One day, the famous man was sitting in a restaurant with his sister. “It must be great to be famous. Everyone tries to please you, and you can do whatever you want to,” said his sister. “It’s quite the opposite sometimes, in fact. Because I’m famous, I can’t do what I want to,” he denied. “But look, we’re sitting at the best table and eating the best food. We couldn’t sit here and eat this if you weren’t famous,” said his sister. “I’ll show you what I mean,” said he.

The next day, the famous man picked up his sister and took her to another country. “I’m not at all famous here,” he said. “Let’s see how we get on.” Soon they found a restaurant, but it was very busy, so they had to queue. “This wouldn’t have happened if you were famous,” said his sister, but the famous man just smiled.

When they finally got a table, it took the waiter years to bring what they ordered. And the food supposed to be hot was cold, and the food supposed to be cold was hot! Eventually, the famous man couldn’t stand any more and asked to see the manager. “This food is awful. We had to wait an hour for a seat, and the service is also very poor. Look, even my spoon is dirty!”

Showing his horribly yellow teeth, the manager, smiling, said, “Well, that’s just bad luck for you.” 

“Don’t you know who I am?” asked the famous man.

“I’ve no idea,” replied the manager.
