It would be impossible for most people to publish 400 books even m dozens of lifetimes. But author extraordinary Isaac Asimov has produced that remarkable output during his 41-year book career and shows no signs of slowing down.
Many Asimov's science and science fiction works deal with space travelsuch as his classic Foundation Trilogyyet, Asimov himself is a serious homebody. He would be perfectly happy never leaving his Manhattan apartment, where he lives with his wife, psychiatrist author Janet Jeppson. “I travel in my writing to the far ends of the universe,” he says, “so I don't have to travel in real life.” And that includes going into space. Even if invited, he wouldn't want to go.
But he enthusiastically supports the space movement, serving on the NSS Board of Governors. Asimov, a workaholic who says he wants to end his days “face down on my typewriter” spends eight hours a day, seven days a week at the keyboard. The Russian-born son of American immigrants, Asimov (1920 ~ ) began writing science fiction at age 11. His first story appeared in print when he was 18. As he continued writing, he completed college, earning a Ph.D. in chemistry.

科目:高中英语 来源:广东省期末题 题型:阅读理解
My dad loved pennies, especially those with the elegant stalk of wheat curving around each side of the ONE CENT on the back. Those were the pennies he grew up with during the Depression (大萧条).
As a kid, I would go for walks with Dad, spying coins along the way-a penny here, a dime
(一角硬币) there. Whenever I picked up a penny, he'd ask, "Is it a wheat?" It always thrilled him when
we found one of those special coins produced between 1909 and 1958, the year of my birth.
One gray Sunday morning in winter, not long after my father's death in 2002, I was walking down Fifth Avenue, feeling bereft. I found myself in front of the church where Dad once worked. I was warmly shown in and led to a seat. Hearing Dad's favorite "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God", I burst into tears. We'd sung
that at his funeral. After the service, I shook the pastor's hand and stepped onto the sidewalk-and there
was a penny. I bent to pick it up, turned it over, and sure enough, it was a wheat. A 1944, a year my
father was serving on a ship in the South Pacific.
That started it. Suddenly wheat pennies began turning up on the sidewalks of New York everywhere. I got most of the important years: his birth year, my mom's birth year, the year he graduated from college,
the year he met my mom, the year they got married, the year my sister was born. But alas, no 1958 wheat penny-my year, the last year they were made.
The next Sunday, after the service, I was walking up Fifth Avenue and spotted a penny in the middle of a crossing. Oh, no, it was a busy street;cabs were speeding by-should I risk it? I just had to get it.
A wheat! But the penny was worn, and I couldn't read the date. On arriving home, I took out my glasses
and took it to the light. There was my birthday!
I found 21 wheat pennies on the streets of Manhattan in the year after my father died, and I don't think that's a coincidence.
1. The writer's father loved pennies with wheat because ________.

C. He once worked in a church.
D. He knew the church well.
4. The underlined sentence (in Para.4) suggests ________.
A. the author's father began to serve on a ship
B. the author picked up many wheat pennies since then
C. the author began to love wheat pennies since then
D. the author started to look for wheat pennies with 1958
