Time Travel
If you could travel in time, where would you go? Perhaps you would watch an original performance of a Shakespeare’s play in Elizabethan England?What about hanging out with Laozi in the Spring and Autumn Period? Or maybe you’d voyage far ahead of the present day to see what the future holds.
The possibility of time travel is indeed appealing. Stories exploring the subject have been around for hundreds of years. Perhaps the best known example is science fiction novel The Time Machine, which was written by s and published in 1895 for the first time. It was adapted into at least two feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions, and a large number of comic book adaptations. It is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposefully and selectively. The term “time machine”, coined by Wells, is now universally used to refer to a vehicle transporting people into the far future.
But could time travel actually be possible? Some scientists say yes, in theory. They propose using cracks in time and space called“wormholes”,which could be used as shortcuts to other periods.Einstein's theory of relativity allows time travel in extreme circumstances.And British physicist Stephen Hawking says you could travel into the future with a really fast spaceship—going at nearly the speed of light.Though building such a spaceship would of course be no simple task.
Even if you could travel into the past, there is something called the “grandfather paradox”.It asks what would happen if a time traveler were to go back in time and have his own grandfather killed for some reason, and therefore prevent himself from being born.If the time traveler wasn't born, how would he travel back in time?
And would you really like to visit the future?In H.G.Wells' book,the main character travels into distant time where he arrives at a beach and is attacked by giant crabs.He then voyages 30 million years into the future where the only living thing is a black object with tentacles(触角).If that's what's in store, maybe we are better just living in the present day after all.
27.The novel The Time Machine mentioned in Paragraph 2 aims to show___________.
A.People's interest in time travel B.the special feature of the book
C.the long history of time travel D.the contribution of H.G.Wells
28.Einstein's and Hawking's theories_________.
A.have similarities in many ways
B.push the invention of the first spaceship
C.have proved wrong by some time travelers
D.suggest the possibility to invent the time machine
29.In Paragraph 4,“grandfather paradox”probably refers to the idea that__________.
A.the traveler is prevented from meeting his grandfather
B.the traveler goes back in time to seek for his grandfather
C.the grandfather's death makes the traveler's birth impossible
D.The reunion of the traveler and his grandfather brings happiness
30.According to the passage, what is probably the author's attitude towards time travel?
A.Unclear. B.Skeptical. C.Supportive.D.Unconcerned.
