. Some fathers and sons bond over sports, fishing or hunting, but my dad and I bond over Star Trek. We tried a trip to Disney World, but one of my earliest memories wasn39。t Mickey, but a Klingon battle cruiser(巡洋) on the screen. Over the years, nearly every setting and situation has bee far away for my dad and me. When it39。s warm at night, we39。re not driving along some dark streets in Indiana, but going at a slow speed with stars dimly shining. Both of us are thinking of them, without needing to say a word. All these visions of other universes have together created a private universe for my dad and me. Gene Rodenberry, creator of Star Trek, once said, Science fiction is a way of thinking, a way of logic that bypasses(繞過)a lot of nonsense. It allows people to look directly at important subjects. A lifetime of science fiction has influenced more than just my relationship with my dad, but has also helped me shape my own hopes for the future. I39。m now a science writer. Yes, science fiction has made me into a nerd(書呆子), and it also has been a source of joy for my family, making me an optimist while enabling me to think critically about the danger of technology. Thank those authors who have shared their visions。 the world and my family are better for it. Thank my dad, who is both the best storyteller and the best man I have ever known because he helped me realize the truth of Tennyson39。s words, Since I dipped into the future, I saw the vision of the world, and all the wonders that would be.(1)What is the special bond between the author and his father?

Sometimes a touch of humor might well enable us to win. Consider the case of a young friend of mine, who hit a traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum (最后通牒) about being late on the job. Although there was a good reason for Brian39。s being late—serious illness at home—he decided that this bynowfamiliar excuse wouldn39。t work any longer. His boss was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal speech. Yes, the boss was, as Brian entered the office at 9:35. The place was as quiet as a locker room (更衣室): everyone was hard at work. Brian39。s boss came up to him. Suddenly, Brian forced a smile and stretched out his hand. How do you do! he said. I39。m Brian. I39。m applying for a job, which, I understand, became available just 35 minutes ago. Doesn39。t the early bird get the worm? The room exploded in laughter. The boss clamped off a smile and walked back to his office. Brian had saved his job, with the only tool that could win—a laugh. Humor is a most effective, yet frequently neglected means of handling the difficult situations in our lives. It can be used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying no, criticizing, getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face. For some jobs, it39。s the only tool that can succeed. It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialog may start a quarrel. For example, many believe that edians on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance (忍受力) than people in any other forum.(1)Brian was late for his job because ________.
