B
What do you think our lives will be like in 50 years or more? To answer this question，you can read a sci-fi book. Perhaps you will have some ideas then. Today, many young readers are interested in science fiction. But what makes it so popular?
For one thing, science fiction gives us a chance to imagine what our future will be like. Anything is possible. Some people think there will be flying cars and robot servants(仆人). Others believe we will learn more about strange aliens and other worlds.
Another reason is that sci-fi writers and their work can inspire us to create the future. In 1945,a sci-fi writer named Arthur C. Clarke wrote about a system of space stations. In the article, he predicted the future earth would have many TV stations and people would send TV programmes around the world. However, this was before TV was a common object at home!
Science fiction is also popular because it can make us think about our world in new ways. Although many sci-fi stories are set in imaginary worlds or societies, they can help us better understand the real world. They can also make us excited when we feel like we are living in a boring world.
