Question

【題目】Jack London was born in San Francisco in 1876. Life was hard when Jack was growing up and he started working when he was 10. He did lots of different jobs. In his free time he went to the library and he spent many hours there, reading. In 1894 he went back to school, and published his first short story Typhoon, off the Coast of Japan. Then in 1896 he went to the University of California at Berkeley, but he had to leave because of money problems.

In 1897 he left for the Klondike Gold Rush in Alaska. However, he became ill and came home and started working as a full-time writer. He wrote short stories and soon he was well-known. In 1903 he wrote his most famous story: The Call of the Wild. His next novel was The Sea-Wolf (1904) which is perhaps his best literary novel. With the earnings he bought a large farm in Califonua, where he died in 1916, aged only 40 years old.

London was a prolific writer in his short life. Between 1905 and 1916 he published 18 novels and six collections of stories, as well as a play, various works of non-fiction and a biography. He is best-known for his descriptions of nature and the animal world.

本文是通過(guò)閱讀短文，以思維導(dǎo)圖的形式將信息內(nèi)容呈現(xiàn)出來(lái)。有些題目我們不能在原文中直接找到答案，而需要對(duì)短文信息總結(jié)，加工處理，填入合適的單詞。例如第1小題，通讀全文，可知本文從求學(xué)，工作及著作三個(gè)方面介紹了Jack London；10歲輟學(xué)，1894年回到學(xué)校，及1896年上大學(xué)，這些都是他的受教育情況，故填education.
