Answer 1

2. Passage 1: from The Time Machine by H. G. Wells (1898)
It was at ten o'clock to-day that the first of all Time Machines began its career. I gave it a last tap, tried all
the screws again, put one more drop of oil on the quartz rod, and sat myself in the saddle. . . . I took the
starting lever in one hand and the stopping one in the other, pressed the first, and almost immediately the
second. I seemed to reel; I felt a nightmare sensation of falling; and, looking round, I saw the laboratory
exactly as before. Had anything happened? For a moment I suspected that my intellect had tricked me.
Then I noted the clock. A moment before, as it seemed, it had stood at a minute or so past ten; now it was
nearly half-past three!

6. Passage 2: from The Time Machine by H. G. Wells (1898)
Fruit, by the by, was all their diet. These people of the remote future were strict vegetarians, and while I
was with them, in spite of some carnal cravings, I had to be frugivorous also. Indeed, I found afterwards
that horses, cattle, sheep, dogs, had followed the Ichthyosaurus into extinction. But the fruits were very
delightful; one, in particular, that seemed to be in season all the time I was there—a floury thing in a
three-sided husk—was especially good, and I made it my staple. At first I was puzzled by all these strange
fruits, and by the strange flowers I saw, but later I began to perceive their import.

11. Passage 3: from Looking Backwards from 2000 to 1887 by Edward Bellamy (1888)
"Where is the clerk?" I asked, for there was no one behind the counter, and no one seemed coming to
attend to the customer.
"I have no need of the clerk yet," said Edith; "I have not made my selection."
"It was the principal business of clerks to help people to make their selections in my day," I replied.
"What! To tell people what they wanted?"
"Yes; and oftener to induce them to buy what they didn't want."
"But did not ladies find that very impertinent?" Edith asked, wonderingly. "What concern could it possibly
be to the clerks whether people bought or not?"
"It was their sole concern," I answered. "They were hired for the purpose of getting rid of the goods, and
were expected to do their utmost, short of the use of force, to compass that end."
"Ah, yes! How stupid I am to forget!" said Edith. "The storekeeper and his clerks depended for their
livelihood on selling the goods in your day. Of course that is all different now. The goods are the nation's.
They are here for those who want them, and it is the business of the clerks to wait on people and take
their orders; but it is not the interest of the clerk or the nation to dispose of a yard or a pound of anything to
anybody who does not want it."

14. Passage 4: from Herland by Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1915)
I had never seen, had scarcely imagined, human beings undertaking such a work as the deliberate
replanting of an entire forest area with different kinds of trees. Yet this seemed to them the simplest
common sense, like a man's plowing up an inferior lawn and reseeding it. Now every tree bore fruit—
edible fruit, that is. In the case of one tree, in which they took especial pride, it had originally no fruit at
all—that is, none humanly edible—yet was so beautiful that they wished to keep it. For nine hundred years
they had experimented, and now showed us this particularly lovely graceful tree, with a profuse crop of
nutritious seeds.
They had early decided that trees were the best food plants, requiring far less labor in tilling the soil, and
bearing a larger amount of food for the same ground space; also doing much to preserve and enrich the
soil.
"They had early decided that trees were the best food plants, requiring far less labor in tilling the soil, and

16. Passage 5: from Erewhon by Samuel Butler (1910)
The people had very little machinery now. I had been struck with this over and over again, though I had
not been more than four-and-twenty hours in the country. They were about as far advanced as Europeans
of the twelfth or thirteenth century; certainly not more so. And yet they must have had at one time the
fullest knowledge of our own most recent inventions. How could it have happened that having been once
so far in advance they were now as much behind us? It was evident that it was not from ignorance. They
knew my watch as a watch when they saw it; and the care with which the broken machines were
preserved and ticketed, proved that they had not lost the recollection of their former civilization. The more I
thought, the less I could understand it; but at last I concluded that they must have worked out their mines
of coal and iron, till either none were left, or so few, that the use of these metals was restricted to the very
highest nobility. This was the only solution I could think of...
"They knew my watch as a watch when they saw it; and the care with which the broken machines were
preserved and ticketed, proved that they had not lost the recollection of their former civilization." The word
recollection probably means _____.
falsehood
gathering
