French novelist Jules Verne (1828—1905) is often called the father of science fiction. Although he was not a great traveler himself, his characters travelled to the moon (in From the Earth to the Moon), under the sea (in Twenty thousand leagues under the sea), into a volcano (in A journey to the centre of the earth), around the world (in Around the World in Eighty Days) and to many other places.
　　Jules Verne was born in the French city of Nantes in 1828. When he was a boy he ran away from home to work on a ship. However, his father soon found him and brought him home. After that he decided that any future travel he did would be in books. In 1847 his father sent Jules to Paris to study to be a lawyer. Even though he was busy writing, Verne passed his exams in 1849 with high marks.
　　When Jules told his father he did not want to be a lawyer, his father was very angry. He stopped sending his son any money, so Jules had to earn a living by his writing. Over the next few years he wrote many stories and plays, which brought him only a little money. Then, in 1856, he met Honorine de Viane, a rich, young widow with two children. The couple married the next year.
After his marriage, Verne worked as a businessman in Paris. However, he was not very successful at his job and spent most of his time writing books and doing research for the next one. In 1863 he published his novel Five Weeks in a balloon and the following year he published A Journey to the centre of the earth which made him famous. His books became so popular and earned him so much money that he was able to leave his job and work full time on his writing.

Cameron thought of himself as merely organized. He certainly did not consider that he took great pains over anything, he did just enough to get it right. Exactly right, of course, for as he was fond of telling his staff, "if it's not exactly right, it's wrong". Occasionally a worker might be sad on hearing these words, because it meant another hour or so of going over the same bit of work, correcting the mistakes which Cameron had patiently pointed out. And doing the corrections exactly right of course.
Strangely enough, his department had the reputation for performing the highest quality work in the company, and it was seen, and not only by those who worked in the department, as a sort of elite (出類拔萃) unit. Those programmes that had to work first time, straight out of the box, Cameron's men got those. "It's mission (任務(wù)) critical—give it to Cameron" was almost a catch-phrase with his team.
It helped that Cameron was not merely particular about things. He wanted things done just so, not because of a personal taste, but because he had discovered through patient experimentation that this was the best way for it to be done.
In Cameron's dictionary, "Take as long as you want" meant that you could work on your task not just in office hours, but that evening, and late into the early hours of the following morning if you so desired. But the project had to be in by its completion date, and yes, done exactly right. Or you did it again.
But he would always be regarded, and not least by himself, as someone who had failed to meet requirements, one of those who just couldn't cut it. You had to face it, if you were not working for Cameron, you were second best. So when word got out that Cameron had messed up, big time, the news was greeted with a mixture of sympathy, and entire relief that this perfection too was human.
小題1:Cameron was a___________.
A．software programmerB．a(chǎn) chief scientist
C．quality controllerD．head of department
小題2:"Mission-critical" work was given to Cameron because___________.
A．Cameron's work was error-free B．Cameron was critical
C．he didn't mind working lateD．he had a good team
小題3:Working for Cameron, people felt that___________.
A．they were part of an elite
B．their mission was critical
C．Cameron was very particular about things
D．Cameron was patient and responsible
小題4:According to the underlined part in Paragraph 5, what is meant by someone “who couldn't cut it” ?
A．He didn’t cut corners.B．He wasn't good enough.
C．He had the wrong measurements.D．He was a perfection.
小題5:What can we learn about Cameron?
A．He never got things wrong.
B．He didn’t allow for any mistake.
C．He encouraged work to be done in office hours.
D．He was often misunderstood.
小題6:The attitude of the author towards Cameron is that of being___________.
A．positiveB．sympathetic
C．non-subjectiveD．optimistic
