The question is: what is science fiction？ And the answer must be, unfortunately, that there have been few attempts to consider this question at any length or with much seriousness; it may well be that science fiction will resist any comprehensive definition of its characteristics. To say this, however, does not mean that there are no ways of defining it nor that various facets of its totality cannot be clarified. To Begin, the following definition should be helpful: science fiction is a literary sub-genre which postulates a change (for human beings) from conditions as we know them and follows the implications of these changes to a conclusion. Although this definition will necessarily be modified and expanded, and probably changed, in the course of this exploration, it covers much of the basic groundwork and provides a point of departure.
The first point ——that science fiction is a literary sub-genre ——is a very important one, but one which is often overlooked or ignored in most discussions of science fiction. Specifically, science fiction is either a short story or a novel. There are only a few dramas which could be called science fiction, with Karel Capek's RUR (Rossum's Universal Robots) being the only one that is well known; the body of poetry that might be labeled science fiction is only slightly larger. To say that science fiction is a sub-genre of prose fiction 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, a setting, character, language, and theme. And like any prose, the themes of science fiction are concerned with interpreting man's nature and experience in relation to the world 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 of a particular combination of 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.
Science fiction is called a literary sub-genre 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．to call it a "genre" would subject it to literary jargon

Scout has faced big challenges.When she was only months old, she suffered from terrible burns.Her right leg was especially damaged, and doctors cut it off above the knee.When she was 14, she got a high-tech leg made for sports and put it to the test right away in a race for disabled athletes.“I remember being terrified because this was my first time,” she says.“But my doctor said,You have to start somewhere.”
Scout was waiting nervously for the race to start when athlete Sarah Reinestsen came up and said, “I’ve been doing this for a while.Let me give you some tips.”Reinertsen, who lost her leg when she was seven, is the first disabled women to have finished the Ironman Triathlon(铁人三项) in Hawaii.She works with an organization to help support people like Scout.
Reinertsen’s encouragement changed the teenager’s life.She lost that first race, but gained the confidence that she needed to compete.If Sarah could do it, she could too.Training hard, she now runs competitively and also finds time to share her story with school groups.
“Sometimes people look at me or at Sarah and think they have nothing in common with us.I tell them that even if you aren’t physically challenged, everybody has challenges of some kind — maybe with family, or homework, or friends.No matter what it is, you can overcome that obstacle,” she says.“Everything you need is inside your heart.Take small steps.As time goes by, the steps will get bigger and you will reach your dream.”

第7题
Yet, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it.And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is.That is what “keeping up with the Joneses” is about.It is the story of someone who tries to look as rich and as successful as his neighbors.
The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American by the name of Arthur Momand.He told this story about himself: he began earning $125 a week at the age of 23.That was a lot of money in those days.Young Momand was very proud of his riches.He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City.But just moving there was not enough.When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horse riding every day.When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors.
It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up.Momand and his wife could not do that.
The race ended for them when they could no longer pay for their new way of life.They left their wealthy neighborhood and moved back to an apartment in New York City.
Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with their neighbors.He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories.He called it “keeping up with the Joneses”, because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States.“Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with the people around you.Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.
Every city has an area where people want to live because others will think better of them if they do.And there are “Joneses” in every city of the world.But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses, because no matter what one does, Mr.Jones always seems to be ahead.
