| Science fiction is a popular kind of writing, and many people think of Jules Verne as the father of science fiction. He was born in France in 1828. His father wanted him to become a lawyer(律师), but when he was about twenty years old, Verne decided to become a writer. At first he wrote plays for the theater. Then, in 1863, he wrote a story called Five Weeks in a Balloon. The success of this book encouraged him to write more stories such as A Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864) and From the Earth to the Moon (1865). In the 19th century, many people were interested in science and inventions. Jules Verne wrote about scientific subjects in his stories and, as a result, they were very popular. Verne"s writing included many predictions (预言) for the 20th century and many of them came true. He described space flight, movies, and air conditioning, a long time before they appeared. These books were very successful and they made Verne rich. Jules Verne"s books have been the subjects for many movies. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea was a successful movie for Walt Disney. It was the first Disney movie to use real actors instead of cartoon drawings. Around the World in Eighty Days is another famous movie based on one of Verne"s books. The main character is an Englishman called Phileas Fogg. For him, the most important thing is to be always on time! | ||||||||||||||||||||||

| Every sport has its great legends: soccer has Pele, basketball has Michael Jordan, and tennis, Steffi Graf. Is there one athlete who people consider to be the best ever? Many would say that person is boxer Muhammad Ali, known to his many fans as "the greatest". Ali was born in Louisville, Kentucky in 1942. At the age of twelve, after his bike was stolen, young Ali began boxing; by the time he reached high school, he was a great amateur(业余) boxer. After winning six state and two national boxing championships, he competed in the 1960 Olympic, where he won a gold medal. That same year, at the age of eighteen, he became a professional boxer. From the start of his career it was clear that Ali was different from other athletes. He was outspoken, confident, strong-willed and talked publicly about himself and his beliefs (信仰). The man who called himself "the greatest" still faced many challenges, though. After winning his Olympic gold medal, he returned home to the United States. He was not allowed to stay in certain hotels or eat in certain restaurants because of the color of his skin. Ali was disgusted (反感) with racism in the U.S., so he threw his Olympic medal into a river. In 1964, Ali beat Sonny Liston to become the world heavyweight champion. Ali surprised the world again in 1966, not for his boxing skills, but for his political beliefs. He disagreed with the U.S. war in Vietnam and refused to join the army, which all young men in the U.S. had to do at the same time. As a result, Ali"s heavyweight title was taken away, and he was sent to prison for five years. Ali retired (退休) from boxing in 1981, ending a career of sixty-one fights, of which he won fifty-six. In 1996, he was recognized as a sporting hero at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Atlanta. The crowd at the Game cheered as Ali, now suffering from Parkinson"s disease, lit the Olympic flame-no longer the strongest, but still the greatest.
