She tld her class that he was like Rbinsn Cruse, a fictinal (虚构的) castaway (坐船遇难者) wh lived n a desert island. Verne wuld later write stries abut similar characters.
In1847, Verne was sent by his family t study law at a university in Paris, but he preferred t write nvels, pems and plays. After graduating, he realized he wanted t write science adventure stries.

His bks started t include mre scientists wh used technlgy fr their wn-smetimes evil-purpses. Verne died n 24 March 1905, but new bks cntinued t be published until 1919. These stries were based n ideas Verne had written abut while he was still alive, but featured new characters and plts created by his sn, Michel.
In the 20th century, his bks were translated int mre than 140 languages and several successful film versins came ut. His creatins have been recgnized as an inspiratin fr many scientists and inventrs. Many f the futuristic ideas frm his mst ppular bks have since cme true.

Being bred is n fun, especially at wrk. Hwever, a recent study frm the Research Schl f Management at the Australian Natinal University suggests that bredm may have an unexpected benefit.
In a study, 52 participants were given a bring task f srting red and green beans (豌豆) fr 30 minutes, while anther grup f 49 participants was asked t create art prjects with paper, beans, and glue.

The day f the yga cmpetitin arrived as expected. In the gym, Eartha lay n her back with her knees bent and placed her hands n the flr behind her. Everything went smthly. Just then, s eager was she t win Grandma pride that her ps displayed a mix f impatience, and rigidness.(僵硬) . Eartha fell n the mat, which cst her edge ver ther cmpetitrs.
