every year andare read by all kinds of people.Furthermore,some of the most successful filmsof recent years have been based on science fiction stories.It is often thought that science fiction is a fairly new development inliterature,but its ancestors can be found in books written hundreds of yearsago.These books were often concerned with the presentation of some form of idealsociety,a theme which is still often found in modern stories.Science fiction isa genre of fiction with imaginative but more or less plausible content such assettings in the future,futuristic science and technology,space travel,paralleluniverses,aliens,andparanormalabilities.Exploringtheconsequencesofscientific innovations is one purpose of science fiction,making it a literatureof ideas”.Science fiction has been used by authors asa device to discussphilosophical ideas such as identity,desire,morality and social structure.Most of the classics of science fiction,however,have been written within thelast hundred years.Books by writers such as Jules Verne and H.G.Wells,to mentionjust two well-known authors,have been translated into many languages.Modern science fiction writers dont write about men from Mars or spaceadventure stories.They are more interested in predicting the results of technicaldevelopments on society and the human mind;or in imaging future worlds which area reflection of the world which we live in now.Because of this their writing hasobviouspoliticalundertones.Sciencefictionislargelybasedonwritingrationally about alternative possible worlds or futures.It is similar to,butdiffers from fantasy in that,within the context of the story,its imaginaryelementsarelargelypossiblewithinscientificallyestablishedorscientifically postulated laws of nature(though some elements in a story mightstill be pure imaginative speculation 思索）.The settings for science fiction areoften contrary to consensus(一致）reality,but most science fiction relies on aconsiderable degree of suspension of disbelief,which is facilitated in thereaders mind by potential scientific explanations or solutions to variousfictional elements.In an age where science fact frequently overtakes science fiction,the writersmay find it difficult to keep ahead of scientific advances.Those who aresufficiently clear-sighted to see the way we are going,however,may provide avaluable lesson on how to deal with the problems which society will inevitablyface as it tries to master its new technology.Task 1Task 1A.Popularity of Science Fiction16.Paragraph 1B.Future Development17.Paragraph 1C.Classics of
