Mark Twain is one of America′s much-beloved authors,creating imaginative and humorous classics for children and adults alike,such as The Adventures of Tom Sawyer,The Prince and The Pauper,and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.Twain passed away in 1910,leaving behind a treasure of great literature.But now,100 years after his death,he′11 have a brand-new book on the shelves:a three-volume autobiography.
Twain hasn′t been keeping busy in his tomb:it was his wish that publishers wait until 100 years after his death to publish his memoirs(自传),which he spent the last decade of his life working on.
The autobiography totals more than 5,000 pages,and likely won′t be all sunshine and roses.It?seems that Twain harbored some bitterness against former girlfriends and ex-friends.He also writes?negatively about politicians of his day,such as Teddy Roosevelt.It′s likely that he requested such?a long lead time for the memoirs because he didn′t want to hurt the feelings of anyone mentioned in?this work.
Although small sections of the memoirs have been previously published,the autobiography has?never been available in full,and should provide great insights into the man behind the classic?books.The first volume of the set will be available in November,and the trilogy is being published?by the University of California,Berkeley.
“There are so many biographies of Twain,and many of them have used bits and pieces of the?autobiography,”editor Robert Hirst told The Independent.“But biographers pick and choose what?bits to quote.By publishing Twain′s book in full,we hope that people will be able to come to their?own complete conclusions about what sort of a man he was."
What can we learn about Mark Twain′s autobiography from the passage?《》()A.It has been published against Twain's will.
B.It shows Twain's respect for politicians.
C.It will be published in full.
D.It has been recently finished.

Among the most popular books being written today are those which are usually classified as science fiction. Hundreds of titles are published every year and are read by all kinds of people.
Furthermore, some of the most successful films in recent years have been based on science fiction stories.
It is often thought that science fiction is a fairly new development in literature, but it can be found in books written hundreds of years ago. These books were often concerned with the presentation of some form of ideal society, a theme which is still often found in modern stories.
Most of the classics of science fiction, however, have been written within the last hundred years. Books by writers such as Jules Verne and H.G. Wells, to mention just two well-known
authors, have been translated into many languages. Modern science fiction writers don't write about men from Mars or space adventure stories. They are more interested in predicting the results of technical developments on society and the human mind; or in imagining future world which are a reflection of the world which we live in now. Because of this their writing has obviously political undertones.
In an age where science fact frequently overtakes science fiction, the writers may find it difficult to keep ahead of scientific advances. Those who are sufficiently clear-sighted to see the way we are going, however, may provide a valuable lesson on how to deal with the problems which society will inevitably face as it tries to master its new technology.
The underlined word “overtakes”in the last paragraph means查看材料A.takes the place of
B.is more meaningful than
C.develops more quickly than
D.develops more slowly than
