floated upwards for miles.The water rushed beneath them, pushing them out into the sunlight.They now found themselves in a volcano in Italy - their adventure was over, but a new one was about to begin.

　　The Time Machine

　　by H．G.Wells

　　Here is my Time Machine.This is where you sit, and with these two white handles, you can travel into the future or the past.

　　I finished the machine just last week, and decided to use it to see the future.As I pulled one handle, the world around me became foggy.Days and nights zipped by and everything changed before my eyes.Buildings and cities appeared and disappeared in a flash.Finally, I heard a loud thunder, and everything stopped.There was a city in front of me that appeared very old and worn.

　　I was now in the year AD 802,701, and mankind had evolved into two races, the Eloi and the Morlocks.The Eloi were small and like children.They lived above the ground and spent all of their time at play.Unlike the Eloi, the Morlocks looked like white beasts.They lived underground, where they kept machines running so that the Eloi would be happy and well fed.

　　At first, I thought that the Eloi had forced the Morlocks to do all of the work so that the Eloi could play.However, later I came to see that I had the wrong impression：the Morlocks were the real masters.They took care of the Eloi because they lived by killing and eating them.The Morlocks even tried to catch and kill me, but luckily I was able to use the Time Machine to escape.

　　I then travelled 30 million years into the future.I was now on a beach with an ocean in front of me, but there was neither wind nor waves, and there seemed to be little life.I went still further into the future, and the sun grew larger, redder and darker, and the Earth became cold and covered in frost.Everything was still - there was no life or movement at all.

　　As the world turned to complete darkness，I pulled the other handle, and found myself back in my house in the present day.Only three hours had passed.

　　地心游记

　　--儒勒·凡尔纳　　在1863年奥托·林登布罗克教授在一本刚买不久的旧书上发现了一条神秘的信息。这个信息说穿过冰岛的一座火山就可以进行一次直达地心的旅程。于是他马上收拾好东西前往冰岛，并且硬是叫上了侄子阿克赛尔同行。

　　在冰岛，这个教授雇了一个名叫汉斯的向导。这三个人到达火山后，他们开始了通过小洞穴的地下之旅。许多天过后，他们到达了一个非常大的空间，里面有片很大的海。在海岸边，有一片森林和许多巨大的蘑菇。高空充满了气体，这些气体能够像太阳一样散发光芒。

　　这三个人制造了一艘小船开始航行。突然，两只恐龙升上海面开始互相打斗。在他们逃跑之前，这艘小船几乎要被恐龙弄沉了。

　　他们划向岸边开始探索森林。他们发现了许多庞大的昆虫和奇怪的生物。四处转悠时，他们发现远处有个人背靠树坐着--他至少四米高。于是他们都变得害怕起来，跑回小船里。

　　他们又起航了。他们发现了一个似乎是出口的地方，但是那里被从洞顶掉下来的岩石堵住了。于是他们制作了一个炸弹去炸掉这些岩石。炸弹爆炸后，他们的小船猛烈地冲向一个巨大的洞。小船随着水冲下，它的速度太快了以至于他们无法逃脱。他们只能恐惧地紧紧地抓住小船。

　　最后，他们到达了洞的底部。然后水把他们冲了上去。他们往上漂浮了几英里，水在他们底下冲击着，最后把他们推了出去，把他们冲到了阳光中。这时他们发现自己身处意大利的一座火山里--他们的探险结束了，但是一个新的旅程即将开始。

　　时光机

　　--H.G.威尔斯　　这就是我的时光机。你可以坐在这里，凭着这两根白色操纵杆，穿越到未来或过去。

　　就在上周我完成了这个机器的制造，决定使用它去看看未来的样子。我拉了一下操纵杆，于是周围的世界变成了一片迷雾。昼夜在我眼前飞逝，所有东西都在迅速变幻着。建筑和城市瞬间出现又消失。最后，我听到了一声响雷，于是一切变化都停止了。一座古老而陈旧的城市出现在我眼前。

现在我是在公元802701年，此时人类已经演变成两个种族--艾洛伊和摩洛克。艾洛伊人很小且像小孩子。他们生活在地面上，整天玩耍。摩洛克人不同于艾洛伊人，他们看
