Many people seem to think that science
fiction is typified by the covers of some of the old pulp magazines: the
Bug-Eyed Monster, embodying every trait and feature that most people find
repulsive, is about to grab, and presumably ravish, a sweet, blonde, curvaceous,
scantily-clad Earth girl. This is unfortunate because it demeans and degrades a
worthwhile and even important literary endeavor. In contrast to this
unwarranted stereotype, science fiction rarely emphasizes sex, and when it does,
it is more discreet than other contemporary fiction. Instead, the basic interest
of science fiction lies in the relation between man and his technology and
between man and the universe. Science fiction is a literature of change and a
literature of the future, and while it would be foolish to claim that science
fiction is a major literary genre A. it is not important enough to be a literary genre B. it cannot be made into a dramatic presentation C. it shares characteristics with other types of prose fiction D. to call it a "genre" would subject it to literary jargon [填空题]British people have the habit of reading newspapers in the ______.
