Ⅰ. 阅读理解
If there is one thing we can conclusively say about Isaac Asimov, it's that he could write. His body of work extends to about 500 books. To add to that, he was never bound to a specific field. Although most famous as a science fiction writer, he also published on many more topics.
Part of this related to his gifted mind, but a bigger part was that he was well - educated. Many tend to think of being educated as the degrees we earn. Asimov did have a good degree, but his real education was broader than that. It was deeper than what he learned from instruction. It was his curiosity and his drive to push himself that took him from a young immigrant to maybe one of the most beloved US authors. As a young kid, he spent his days lost in his mind asking questions and creating imaginary worlds. He read books, and he loved knowledge.
In the book *It's Been a Good Life*, Asimov tells a story about an encounter he had as a child when his father asked him a question: “How did you learn all this, Isaac?” “From you, Poppa,” Asimov said. “From me? I don't know any of this.” “You didn't have to, Poppa,” he said. “You valued learning and you taught me to value it. Once I learned to value it, the rest came without trouble.” The mark of educated minds has nothing to do with how much they know. It has everything to do with the way they know and the way they go about knowing.
Also, one thing that many people don't know about Isaac Asimov is that he actually wasn't a full - time writer for most of his life. By personal choice, his day job was as a biochemist. One of the things that many polymaths (博学家) naturally do is explore a broad range of non - fiction topics. But something they tend to overlook is the knowledge they can obtain from fiction. Before Asimov fell in love with science, he was already attracted by fiction. It was his love of Greek myths and his reading of 18th - and 19th - century classics that led him to become a great writer.
