definition should be helpful：science fictionis a literary sub-class which requires a change(for human beings)from conditions as we knowthem and follow the implications of these changes to a conclusion.Although this definition willnecessarily be modified，and expanded，and probably changed，in the course of this exploration，it conveys much of the basic groundwork and provides a point of departure.The first pointthat science fiction is a literary sub-classis a very important one，but onewhich is often overlooked or ignored in most discussions of science fiction.Specially，sciencefiction is a sub-class of prose fiction，for nearly every piece of science fiction is either a short storyor a novel.There are only a few dramas which could be called science fiction，with Karel CapeksRUR(Rossums Universal Robots)being the only one that is well known；the body of poetry thatmight be labeled science fiction is only slightly larger.To say that science fiction is a sub-class ofprose fiction is to say that it has all the basic characteristics and serves the same basic function inmuch the same way as prose fiction in generalthat is，it shares a great deal with all other novelsand short stories.Everything that can be said about prose fiction，in general，applies to science fiction.Everypiece of science fiction，whether short or novel，must have a narrator，a story，a plot，a setting，characters，language，and theme.And like any prose，the themes of science fiction are concernedwith interpreting mans nature and experience in relation to the world around him.Themes inscience fiction are constructed and presented in exactly the same ways that themes are dealt within 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 they would be for any other storyor novel.1.Science fiction is called a literary sub-class because it.A)has limits of its ownB)cannot be made into a dramatic presentationC)is not important enough to be a literary formD)shares characteristics with other types of prose fiction2 Which of the following does NOT usually contribute to the theme in a piece of sciencefiction?A)Narrator.B)Setting.C)Rhyme.D)Plot.3.An appropriate title for the passage would be.A)On the Dramatic Features of Science FictionB)Toward a Definition of Science FictionC)Science Fiction vs Prose FictionD)The Themes of Prose Fiction4.The authors definition suggests that all science fiction deals with.A)the unfamiliar or unusual conditionsB)the same topics addressed by novels and short storiesC)Karel Capes well-known hypothesisD)the conflict between science and fiction5.According to the passage，which of the following conclusions is true?A)Science fiction attracts us in much the same way a story or novel does.B)It is not possible to define science fiction in a clear way.C)Many people tried in vain to explain what science fiction is.D)Very often science fiction appears in such literary forms as drama and poetry.1小题、【对的答案】：C2小题、【对的答案】：C3小题、【对的答案】：B4小题、【对的答案】：B5小题、【对的答案】：A【参照解析】：无第3题：The American economic system is organized around a basically private enterprise，market-oriented economy in which consumers largely determine what shall be produced byspending their money in the marketplace for those goods and services that they want most.Privatebusinessmen，striving to make profits，produce these goods and services in competition with otherbusinessmen；and the profit motive，operating under competitive pressures，largely determineshow these goods and services are produced.Thus，in the American economic system，it is thedemand of individual consumers，coupled with the desire of businessmen to maximize profits andthe desire of individuals to maximize their incomes，that together determine what shall beproduced and how resources are used to produce it.An important factor of a market-oriented economy is the mechanism by which consumerdemands can be expressed and responded to by producers.In

product.Thus，price is theregulating mechanism in the American economic system.The important factor in a private enterprise economy is that individuals are allowed to ownproductive resources(private property)，and they are permitted to hire labor，gain control overnatural resources，and produce goods and services for sale at a profit.In the American economy，the concept of private property embraces not only the ownership of productive resources but alsocertain rights，including the right to determine the price of a product or to make a free contractwith another private individual.1.What can we

body both relax；hide away in a small town，amble on windingpebble tracks and melt into the romantic ambiance；or take up your backpack，go mountaineering，stretch your body and smell the fresh airThey all sound wonderful.But changing environmentscan pose threats to delicate skin.How can you protect yourself and stay beautiful through sevendays of traveling?Here are some helpful suggestions.If youre going to the seaside:Typical resort：SanyaTypical weather：24-31 with strong ultraviolet sunrays and fresh air.Warm sunshine，fresh sea breezes，and moist air make the seaside an agreeable haven fromBeijings dust.But excessive sun exposure can easily darken your skin，and of course mostChinese girls prefer fair skin.To prepare for a pleasing and beautiful sojourn(逗留)at the seasidetake note of following:1.Night time skin careEven if youve managed to block the sun in the daytime，give your skin a soothingrehabilitative(使复原)treatment in the evening.Cool your glowing skin with a product like LaMers newly released The Concentrate(50ml/RMB 3,700).2.Shine in your bikini.Tips1.Whitening is as important as wearing sunscreen.For dry skins，moisturizing products are amust.Laneige Water Sleeping Pack(RMB 150)is a good choice.2.For sensitive skins，Nuskin Aloe Vera Gel complements sun block creams.Washing yourface with lemonade stops skin from darkening and is refreshing.3.Never use body sun block creams on your face.Use special facial sun block creams.Fordrier skins，Chanel UV Essential SPF45(RMB 450)is nice，but Shu Uemura UV under Base DF(RMB 350)is much fresher.If youre going to a small town:Typical resorts：Lijiang，Yunnan；Zhouzhuang，Jiangsu；Phoenix，ZhejiangTypical weather：11-25 with a lot of ultraviolet radiationAs depicted in Teresa Tengs popular song Xiaocheng Gushi(Small Town Romances)，small-secluded charming Chinese towns are the scene of many romances.Pebble tracks，windinglanes and ancient low villas make romantic backdrop for lovers wandering hand-in-hand.Toprepare for a romantic and sweet stay in a small town，take note of the following:1.Go easy on the make up！To match your light-hearted mood we recommend the minimumof make-up.Basic skin care to keep your face healthy and glowing is enough.2.Wear flirtatious(俏皮)colors for special nights.Liquid foundation in heavy glass bottles and powdered blush or eye shadow is not easy tocarry.So we recommend sun-blocking pressed powder，two-in-one brow pencil and eye liners，andproducts that can be used on both lips and cheeks.3.Make-up removal.Remember to remove sun block creams at night.Try a moisturizing and relaxing mask，andwe promise you a renewed glowing complexion the next day.Recommended skin care products1.SPF15/PA+sun block face cream.Its small size makes Freeplus UV Day Protector(RMB190，sun block and moisturizer)a good choice.2.A multi-functional cosmetic case.Bobbi Browns hand-sized palettes(RMB 380)，including a foundation stick，creamy concealer，corrector，and sheer finish pressed powder areconvenient.3.Clear foundation.Maybelline Mousse White Stay(RMB 89)the mousse-like texturemakes this foundation light，breathable，and easy to carry.4.Make up remover.Lancomes mild Gentle Clarifying and Cleaning Fluid(small set)isperfect for traveling and it does a good job of removing all make-up thoroughly.Tips1.Apart from your daily skin care routine，traveling girls may also need protective lip cream，mascara(Maybelline is a good cheap choice)，and fragrance(Try Anna Suis fresh Secret WishEau de Toilette).2.For lazy girls，base creams are especially useful.Wearing just a base foundation cream isenough and saves the trouble of constantly reapplying foundation at romantic moments.Othersmay try creamy concealers and pressed powers.Adding blush(Watsons small tubes of blush arecheap/RMB20-30 and works well)will give a healthy glow.If youre going mountaineering:Typical resorts：Huashan，Shanxi；Huangshan，Anhui；Shennongjia，SichuanTypical weather：10-20，a high level of ultraviolet radiation and dry air.Boys often complain that mountaineering girls with their disheveled(凌乱)hair and no makeup dont look attractive.In response to this，we recommend you use absolutely no make up exceptfor basic skin care.But looking beautiful without the aid
