阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。

Many teenagers are fond of science fictions. Jules Verne, a French writer, is regarded as the father of science fiction. He was born in 1828. When he was a child, his father wanted him to be a lawyer（律师）. But Verne decided to become a writer in his early twenties.

At the beginning, Verne wrote plays for a theater. Then in 1863, the success of his book Five Weeks in a Balloon encouraged him to write more stories. So he finished writing A Journey to the Center of the Earth in 1864, and then wrote another story From the Earth to the Moon in 1865.

In the 19th century, science and inventions were very popular. Many things described in Verne’s books for the 20th century came true. For instance, space flight, movies and air conditioning were all mentioned in his books a long time before they were invented. These books were very successful and they made Verne rich. Verne’s books have been the subjects for many movies, such as 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and Around the World in Eight Days.
