That year, kate's life is awful. She was stuck in a meaningless job with no friends around her. To top it off, word came that the ship on which John had been working met a storm and foundered. For a while, she cheered up when she heard that there were some survivors on the beach. But soon it was proved that John had died. At this news, she was appalled, and would not get over the fact that such a thing would come John's way. In spite of everything, she still tried to take an a ctive attitude toward life even though she had to face these adversities. it's no wonder that she achieved success in her later life.

Many scientists believe that Mankind's greatest disaster - the destruction of the earth - will be inevitable if we don't change our mode of running our planet. But if we take some decisive action in this aspect, the prospect that we long for will appear before us. In other words, our future is in our own hand's to a great extent; our future is in fact the product of the joint decisions we make today. Needless to say, our present action will make certain prospect more likely to come true compared with some other prospects.
Some scholars noticed that science fiction writers devoted their lives to showing what kind of future world would result from certain actions of human genius. They studied the excellent science fictions published in recent years, and got the conclusion that science fiction could reveal to us what would happen in the future and help us from a future world that we long for,What's interesting is that science fiction courses are offered in many colleges and universities on the grounds that science fiction is the bridge between science and art.
