(reason) Question IV : Read the following passage carefully. Make questions from the suggested words and answer them.(2p) Jack London (1876-1916) Jack London’s life and writing are thought by many to represent the American love of nature. He was born in San Francisco, California, and quit school at fourteen to become a sailor. He travelled a great deal during his short lifetime in the United States, Europe and the Far East. Jack London took a high place in American literature at the beginning of the 20 th century. At that time, the library shelves and bookshops of America were already full of books by famous writers. But Jack London’s stories were new ones; his heroes were not like the ones in the books of other writers, and the pictures he painted were not the same as their pictures. The men in Jack London’s books live a difficult life, a life full of danger. In his stories, Jack London shows us that in the terrible world a man must fall and die in the snow if he makes even the smallest mistake. But his heroes are afraid of nothing, and nothing can stop them. People in books by Jack London never lose hope; they never stop fighting for life even when the end of life seems very near. That is the lesson for people to learn in everything we want and everything we do; if we do not lose hope, we must and will win. 1.
