1、on 6April, 1992, when he died as a result of an HIV infection that he had got from a blood transfusion nine years earlier.When Asimov was three, he moved with his parents and his one-year-old sister to New York City. There his parents bought a candy store which they ran for the next 40 or so years.
2、At the age of nine, when his mother was pregnant with her third child, Asimov started working part-time in the store. He helped out through his school and university years until 1942, a year after he had gained a masters degree in chemistry. In 1942 he joined the staff of the Philadelphia Navy Yard
3、as a junior chemist and worked there for three years. In 1948 he got his PhD in chemistry. The next year he became a biochemistry teacher a Boston University School of Medicine. In 1958 he gave up teaching to become a full-time writer.It was when Asimov was eleven years old that his talent for writi
4、ng became obvious. He had told a friend two chapters of a story he had written. The friend thought he was retelling a story from a book. This really surprised Asimov and from that moment, he started to take himself seriously as a writer. Asimov began having stories published in science fiction magaz
5、ines in 1939. In 1950 he published his first novel and in 1953 his first science book.Throughout his life, Asimov received many awards, both for his science fiction books and his science books. Among his most famous works of science fiction, one for which he won an award was the Foundation trilogy (
6、1951-1953), three novels about the death and rebirth of a great empire in a galaxy of the future. It was loosely based on the fall of the Roman Empire but was about the future. These books are famous because Asimov invented a theoretical framework which was designed to show how ideas and thinking ma
7、y develop in the future. He is also well known for his collection of short stories, I, Robot (1950), in which he developed a set of three “laws” for robots. For example, the first law states that a robot must not injure human beings or allow them to be injured. Some of his ideas about robots later i
8、nfluenced other writers and even scientists researching into artificial intelligence.Asimov was married twice. He married his first wife in 1942 and had a son and a daughter. Their marriage lasted 31 years. Soon after his divorce in 1973, Asimov married again but he had no children with his second w

I thought, at the time, that this was just a story but then I witnessed it with my won eyes many times.On the afternoon I arri
10、ved at the station, as I was sorting out my accommodation, I heard a loud noise coming from the bay. We ran down to the shore in time to see an enormous animal opposite us throwing itself out of the water and then crashing down again. It was black and white and fish-shaped. But I knew it wasnt a fis
11、h.“Thats Old Tom, the killer,” one of the whalers. George, called out to me. “Hes telling us theres a whale out there for us.”Another whaler yelled out, “Rush-oorush-oo.” This was the call that announced there was about to be a whale hunt.“Come on, Clancy. To the boat,” George said as he ran ahead o
12、f me. I had already heard that George didnt like being kept waiting, so even though I didnt have the right clothes on, I raced after him.Without pausing we jumped into the boat with the other whalers and headed out into the bay. I looked down into the water and could see Old Tom swimming by the boat
13、, showing us the way. A few minutes later, there was no Tom, so George started beating the water with his oar and there was Tom, circling back to the boat, leading us to the hunt again.Using a telescope we could see that something was happening. As we drew closer, I could see a whale being attacked
14、by a pack of about six other killers.“Whatre they doing?” I asked George.“Well, its teamwork- the killers over there are throwing themselves on top of the whales blow-hole to stop it breathing. And those others are stopping it diving or fleeing out to sea,” George told me, pointing towards the hunt.
15、 And just at that moment, the most extraordinary thing happened. The killers started racing between our boat and the shale just like a pack of excited dogs. Then the harpoon was ready and the man in the bow of the boat aimed it at the whale. He let it go and the harpoon hit the spot. Being badly wou
16、nded, the whale soon died. Within a moment or two, its body was dragged swiftly by the killers down into the depths of the sea. The men started turning the boat around to go home.“Whats happened?” I asked. “Have we lost the whale?”“Oh no,” Jack replied. “Well return tomorrow to bring in the body. It
17、 wont float up to the surface for around 24 hours.” “ In the meantime, Old Tom, and the others are having a good feed on its lips and tongue,” added Red, laughing. Although Old Tom and the other killers were fierce hunters, they never harmed or attacked people. In fact, they protected them. There wa
18、s one day when we were out in the bay during a hunt and James was washed off the boat.“ Man overboard! Turn the boat around!” urged George, shouting loudly.The sea was rough that day and it was difficult to handle the boat. The waves were carrying James further and further away from us. From Jamess
19、face, I could see he was terrified of being abandoned by us. Then suddenly I saw a shark.“Look, theres a shark out there,” I screamed.“Dont worry, Old Tom wont let it near, “Red replied.It took over half an hour to get the boat back to James, and when we approached him, I saw James being firmly held
20、 up in the water by Old Tom. I couldnt believe my eyes. There were shouts of “Well done, Old Tom” and “Thank God” as we pulled James back into the boat. And then Old Tom was off and back to the hunt where the other killers were still attacking the whale. A NEW DIMENSION OF LIFE19th JanuaryIm sitting
21、 in the warm night air with a cold drink in my hand and reflecting on the day-a day of pure magic! I went snorkeling on the reef offshore this morning and it was the most fantastic thing I have ever done. Seeing such extraordinary beauty, I think every cell in my body woke up. It was like discoverin
22、g a whole new dimension of life.The first thing I become aware of was all the vivid colors surrounding me-purples, reds, oranges, yellows, blues and greens. The corals were fantastic-they were shaped like fans, plates, brains. Lace, mushrooms, the branches of trees and the horns of deer. And all kin
23、ds of small, neat and elegant fish were swimming in and around the corals.The fish didnt seem to mind me swimming among them. I especially loved the little orange and white fish that hid in the waving long thin seaweed. And I also loved the small fish that clean the bodies of larger fish-I even saw
24、them get inside their mouths and clean their teeth! It seemed there was a surprise waiting for me around every corner as I explored small caves, shelves and narrow passages with my underwater flashlight: the yellow and green parrotfish was hanging upside down, and sucking tiny plants off the coral w
25、ith its hard bird-like mouth; a yellow-spotted red sea-slug was sliding by a blue sea-star: a large wise-looking turtle was passing so close to me that I could have touched it.There were other creatures that I didnt want to get too close to-an eel with its strong sharp teeth, with only its head show
26、ing from a hole, watching for a tasty fish ( or my tasty toe!); and the giant clam half buried in some coral waiting for something to swim in between its thick green lips. Then there were two grey reef sharks, each about one and a half metres long, which suddenly appeared from behind some coral. I t
27、old myself they werent dangerous but that didnt stop me from feeling scared to death for a moment!The water was quite shallow but where the reef ended, there was a steep drop to the sandy ocean floor. It marked a boundary and I thought I was very brave when I swam over the edge of the reef and hung
28、there looking down into the depths of the ocean. My heart was beating wildly- I felt very exposed in such deep clear water. What a wonderful, limitless world it was down there! And what a tiny spot I was in this enormous world!Unit 4 A LETTER HOMEDear Rosemary,Thanks for your letter, which took a fo
