B I believe in the power of science fiction, not just for its capacity to turn dreams into reality, but also for its power to bond together those who share a common view of the future. For me, that’s true for my relationship with my dad. Some fathers and sons bond over sports, fishing or hunting, but my dad and I bond over Star Trek. We tried a trip to Disney World, but one of my earliest memories wasn’t Mickey, but a Klingon battle cruiser (巡洋舰) on the screen. Over the years, nearly every setting and situation has become far away for my dad and me. When it’s warm at night, we’re not driving along some dark streets in Indiana, but going at a slow speed with stars dimly shining. Both of us are thinking of them, without needing to say a word. All these imaginations of other universes have together created a private universe for my dad and me. Gene Roddenberry, creator of Star Trek, once said, “Science fiction is a way of thinking, a way of logic that bypasses (绕过) a lot of nonsense. It allows people to look directly at important subjects.” A lifetime of science fiction has influenced more than just my relationship with my dad, but has also helped me shape my own hopes for the future. I’m now a science writer. Yes, science fiction has made me into a “nerd” ( 书呆子) and it also has been a source of joy for my family, making me an optimist while enabling me to think critically about the danger of technology. Thank those authors who have shared their visions: the world and my family are better for it. Thank my dad, who is both the best storyteller and the best man I have ever known because he helped me realize the truth of Tennyson’s words, “For I dipped into the future, far as human eye could see, saw the vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be.” 24. What contributes to the bond between the author and his father? A. Their similar dream. B. Their common interest. C. Their love for each other. D. Their hobby of fishing. 25. What does the author mainly show in paragraph 2? A. His deep impression of his dad. B. His feeling of staying with his dad. C. His earliest memory of his dad. D. His good relationship with his dad. 26. How does science fiction help the author at present? A. It leads him to pursue a desirable career. B. It brings him the courage to live better. C. It inspires him to face the danger of technology. D. It makes him a source of his family’s joy. 27. What may be the best title for the text? A. The Stories About Science Fiction B. The Wonders Science Brings C. The Power of Science Fiction D. The Time Together with My Father C The good news is that more people bought electric vehicles (EVs) in 2020.
