语篇理解
In 1903, London wrote The Call of the Wild, which made him immediately famous, and his name was soon known all over the United States. For the next twelve years he wrote wildly, and lived an even wilder life and was especially fond of drinking. He never settled down. He served as a newspaper reporter in Asia at the time of the war between Russia and Japan, and did the same job in the Mexican Civil War in 1914. He liked the excitement of it. Wherever there was a fighting, London was always there. So it was not surprising to learn that he died at the young age of forty on November 22, 1916.
