6、ror stories, there was literary fiction, and there was science fiction. But today science themes dominate these other styles. Ifs difficult to think of much modem crime, horror or “serious“ fiction that doesn*t involve science.And its not just books. With every second movie and computer game having

7、a sci-fi element, science fiction seems to have controlled our entire entertainment culture. Its clear that if we want to define science fiction, we should relate it to the role that science plays in our lives.Although some experts have claimed to be able to trace sci-fi back to ancient times, it is

8、 more reasonable to find it in initial form in the 19th century, when industrial societies arose. One of the features that set industrial societies apart from other kinds was the increasing part that science played in everyday life. Factories with vast machines turned out huge quantities of goods, w

9、hich were transported by trains, motor vehicles and ships all over the world. Cities were built on the back of technology, with electricity in homes and hospitals helping everyone to lead healthier, more convenient lives. All of these changes had great effects not only on peoples real lives, but on

10、their imaginative ones.Writers began to describe these changing physical and mental landscapes, eventually giving science fiction a large and devoted fan base of especially young readers, who found that it spoke to their curiosity about the future that science would create.But sci-fiction reflected

11、fears about science more than it did hopes. These typical early science fiction novels might be a UK novel like H. G. Wells* The War of the worlds (1897) . With great skill, Wells played upon the fears of technology by imagining Earth under threat by a civilization-that of men from Mars.The science

12、fiction of today expresses the impact of the computing revolution, robotics and our environmental试卷第10页，共14页 challenges, while it is less concerned with little green men from Mar“ and other themes of past sci-fiction.Given that science, technology and polities are always intertwined, contemporary sc

13、ience fiction often has a great deal to say about power. Many recent novels-like American Cory Doctorows Little Brother （2008） -are concerned with government and security service conspiracies （阴谋）against the people, particularly as the revelations of whistleblowers like Edward Snowden sink in. This

14、can give sci-fi writing a skeptical （怀疑的） feel.This underlines one of the features that remains constant between the beginnings of the empire of science fiction and its state today.As then, so now: We want to read about how fearful the future will be, not how it will be a paradise. 63.

20、ned to do everything we could to make other people like us. As Oscar Wilde puts it, most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone elses opinions, their lives a mimicry（模仿）,their passions a quotation.So when people tell us how wonderful we are, it makes us feel good. We long for this good

21、feeling like a drug 一 we are addicted to it and seek it out wherever we can. 68 Just as drug addicts and alcoholics live worsened lives to keep getting their fix （成瘾物）,we worsen our own existence to get our own constant fix of approval.But just as with any drug, there is a price to pay. The price of

22、 the approval drug is freedom-the freedom to be ourselves. The truth is that we cannot control what other people think. People have their own schedule and they come with their own baggage and, in the end, theyre more interested in themselves than in you. 69 Everyone has different way of thinking, an

23、d people change their opinions all the time. The person who tries to please everyone will only end up getting exhausted and probably pleasing no one in the process.So how can we take back control? 70 We should guide ourselves by means of a set of values-not values imposed from the outside by others,

24、 but innate values which come from within. If we are driven by these values and not by the changing opinions and value systems of others, we will live a more authentic, effective, purposeful and happy life.A.

31、 view sometimes claim that kidults are suffering from the pop-psychology concept known as Peter Pan Syndrome, an anomaly （异常）that people remain emotionally at the level of teenagers.From the standpoint of kidults, though, this phenomenon is seen as nothing but harmless fun.
