Read the text given below. For questions (1–6), choose the answer (A, B, C or D) which you think fits best according to the text.

H. G. Wells was born in 1866 in Bromley. He claimed to have a very ordinary brain, but in fact he predicted air attacks and atomic bombs long before they existed­. He took no pleasure in being right though. Instead it just added to his growing feeling of pessimism. His last book was Mind at the End of its Tether, a work full of despair. In his final year he spent his time painting a mural in his home which showed the process of evolution, ending with the figure of Man. Beneath this figure he wrote “Time to Go”.

Wells’ parents were, at various times, shopkeepers and servants. Wells was destined to become a shop assistant, but after suffering an accident as a child he was forced to spend a long time in bed. This period of inactivity gave him a love of reading which developed­ his imagination. After leaving school he first worked in a curtain shop, then trained as a teacher and biologist, but after this decided to write books for a living. At the age of 27, working by candlelight in a room in Kent (his landlady complained he used too many candles), he wrote the book that made his name, The Time Machine. It is the story of an unnamed time traveller who meets strange people in the future and witnesses the end of the world. It was a great success with Victorian readers.

Wells went on to produce “scientific romances” and short stories which were serialised in publications like the Strand Magazine. Many science fiction themes – aliens coming to earth, planetary disasters and so on – were dealt with in these early stories. Wells’ ability to create such original work was amazing. He turned everyday events into incredible fantasies: a conversation about colonialism became The War of the Worlds and a walk round London was turned into The Invisible Man. Some of the predictions made in his books included the use of aeroplanes and tanks in war, the rise of the middle class, the liberation­ of women and the need for a world state.

1. What made Wells become displeased­ in later life?

2. What type of work was Wells originally destined to do?

3. What helped his imagination to grow?

Examination Card #26

XX I. Reading

Read the text and choose the best answer (A, B, C, D) for the sentences (1–4).

I mean what I say: science in education, not education in science. Education in science means the systematic teaching of science so as to train for careers in science. Scientific men are exceedingly useful members of a community, as are engineers, bakers, blacksmiths, artists, and bankers. But we can’t all be bakers, and we can’t all be painters of watercolors. “It takes all sorts to make a world.” A community entirely composed of scientific men would fail to feed itself, clothe itself, house itself, and keep itself supplied with amusing light literature. Education in science produces specialists, and specialists, though useful and valuable persons in their fields, are no more the staple of a civilized community than lawyers or ballet dancers.

What the world at large really needs is due recognition of the true value of science in education.

We don’t all want to be made into first class anatomists or surgeons. But we do all want a competent general knowledge of anatomy at large, and especially of human anatomy; of physiology at large, and especially of human physiology. We don’t all want to be analytical chemists, but we do all want to know enough about oxygen and carbon to understand the most common phenomena of combustion, chemical combination, and animal or vegetable life. We don’t all want to be zoologists and botanists, but we do all want to know enough about plants and animals to walk through life intelligently, and to understand the meaning of the things that surround us. We want a general acquaintance with the results rather than with the methods of science.

The mass of scientific opinion has always gone the other way; but then scientific opinion means only the opinion of men of science. Scientists appreciate the education needed to make men specialists more than the education needed to fit them for the general purposes and emergencies of life. We don’t want authorities on the nuances of interstellar gasses, but well informed citizens. What common sense really demands, then, is education in all the sciences: a knowledge of what is known rather than knowledge of each successive step by which men came to know it.
