Reading
A. Read the following passage about the writer Jack London. For questions 37-42, choose the best answer: A, B, C, D, or E. (6 items Ч 3 marks each = 18)
Writer Jack London was born in San Francisco in 1876. His mother was married to a disabled Civil War veteran called John London. The family moved around a lot when Jack was young and eventually settled in the city of Oakland. As a very young man, Jack worked at various jobs, and he even joined an army of unemployed workers. He became acquainted with socialism and ran as a socialist candidate for mayor of Oakland, although he was unsuccessful.
Jack was a keen reader and studied the works of many writers in order to learn to become a writer himself. In fact, he consciously chose the life of a writer in order to escape the unpleasantness of becoming a factory worker. The varied and adventurous life he led provided him with a wealth of material from which to create imaginative literature. At first, his submissions met with very little success. However, his disciplined approach finally paid off and he gained international renown, with over fifty volumes of stories, novels, and essays to his name. His novel The Call of the Wild brought him lasting fame, and many of his short stories are considered classics. At one point, he journeyed across the Pacific in a small boat; this trip provided the inspiration for stories about
Polynesian culture. London became one of the best-known public figures of his time. He used his fame to draw support for socialism, women’s right, and, later prohibition of alcohol. However, his political and social views were considered changeable and self-contradictory. For example, his support for socialism was countered by a strong belief in individualism. He supported women’s rights but dominated the female members of his family.
In his thirties, London tried his hand at agriculture. He pursued this interest with great energy at his farm in California and introduced many practical innovations that were ahead of the times. During this period, he developed a kidney disease from which he died in November 1916, at the age of forty.
