by the american author herman melville. you may also know that moby dick is considered one of the greatest novels ever written. however, it might surprise you to find out herman melville was not always a highly regarded author.melvilles first two novels, typee and omoo, were widely read and financially successfully. they were both exciting tales of adventures at sea and experiences with people in foreign lands. melville became quite famous. however, upon the publication of his third book, mardi, melvilles popularity began to weaken. he was no longer interested in telling tales of pure adventure, and his writing took on a style that alienated(使疏远) the general reading public of his time.melville published moby dick in october of 1851. it was an original novel, combining aspects of sociology and philosophy, which confused readers by its complex symbolism. the book sold poorly.melvilles next book, pierre, was almost completely ignored by the public. debt frustration and ill health finally forced melville to take a low-paying job as a customs inspector. eventually, melville abandoned prose(散文) and began to write poetry.the civil war is the main subject of melvilles poetry. he and his brother made a trip to the front line, and he published a book of poems, battle-pieces and aspects of war, based on this experience.melville died in 1891 at the age of 72. at this point, his work had been completely forgotten by the public. his talent was to go unrecognized for the next thirty years. then, in 1920s, his reputation began to improve as critics and readers rediscovered his work. today moby dick is one of the best-known novels ever penned by an american author.63. what were melvilles first two novels mainly about?a. his travel experience. b. his

public. 65. we can learn from the text that moby dick_.a. sold a little better than pierre. b. was melvilles favorite novel.c. was copied from other books. d. made melville popular again.66. the text may be taken from_.a. a writing guide b. a literary journal. c. a science magazine. d. a book review. dmove earthits not science fictionlondonscientists have found an unusual way to prevent our planet from overheating: move it to a cooler spot. all you have to do is send a few comets(彗星)in the direction of earth, and its orbit will be changed. our world will then be sent spinning into a safer, colder part of the solar system. this idea for improving our climate comes from a group of us national aeronautics and space administration (nasa) engineers and american astronomers. they say their plan could add another six billion years to the useful lifetime of our planeteffectively doubling its working life. the plan put forward by dr. laughlin, and his colleagues don kory can sky and fred adams, needs carefully directing a comet or asteroid (小行星) so that it passes close by our planet and sends some of its gravitational energy to earth. “earths orbital speed would increase as a result and we would move to a higher orbit away from the sun, ”laughlin said. engineers would then direct their comet so that it passed close to jupiter or saturn. the comet would pick up energy from one of these giant planets. later its orbit would bring it back to earth, and the process would be repeated. in the short term, the plan provides an ideal way to global warming, although the team was actually concerned with a much greater danger. the sun is certain to heat up in about a billion years and so “seriously compromise” our biosphere(生物圈)by cooking us.
