Question

passage
Jules Verne was a Frenchman who was born in 1828. He was not an inventor and he was not a
scientist, but he read a great many books on science. He had a very strong imagination and he
loved adventures although he did not have many great adventures himself. He wrote a number
of electing books about the things which he thought that scientists and inventors would one day
be able to do, at that time his stories seemed like fairy tales.
Many of Jules Jerne’s attempts to look into the future, however, were surprising. One of his
books was called ‘From Earth to Moon’, in which three men and a dog made a journey around
the moon; they did this in a hollow ‘Ship’ fired from a gun. After going around the Moon, they
returned to earth and splashed down into the sea not far from where the first real Moon travelers
landed in July, 1969 about a hundred years later.
Jules Verne’s most famous book is ‘Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea’. Jules Verne
died in 1905. When he was seventy seven. Many years later, explorers really did go to the
Moon and one part of the Moon was given Jules Verne’s name.
