Not to awake till the birds are crying.

After one night of wind and showers,

How many are the fallen flowers!

    (two), I believe that we need more places for teenagers to go to. my opinion, teenagers won't cause problems in the street if there are more places for us to go to. So we need more (club) and other places where we can meet.

    Thirdly, teenagers here need more sports facilities. There (be) places to play ball games so far like tennis and basketball, but what about other sports, skating and rollerblading?

    Finally, I'm sure we'll make the town better we don't drop litter. If we all do something (help) now, our town will be much better for everyone in the future.

English

    World language

    Once people  a language that everybody in the world could understand. Now, for the  time in human history, perhaps there is one -- English It is the official language in more than 50 countries and 250-300 million people  it as a second language.

    English is not the  language to learn -- most of its common verbs are irregular and it has a large vocabulary -- at least 200, 000 words are in common use.

    User-friendly

    But some things make  easy. For example, nouns don't have gender ( 性别) and the usages of verbs are simpler than other languages. There is  one form to speak to someone directly -- "you". Adjectives don't agree  nouns, and many nouns are often also verbs.

A Cloud of Hope and Danger

    In 2050, a small cloud floats through the air in a hospital operating room(手术室). In the room a patient, suffering from cancer, lies on a table. The cloud surrounds (包围) the patient, her body and filling her lungs (肺). The cloud is not smoke or steam. It is made of millions of microscopic robots called nano-robots(纳米机器人). These tiny robots move from cell(细胞) to cell in the body, destroying the cancer cells.

    Fighting cancer with nano-robots is only an idea today, scientists say that it would be possible in the future. Using nano-robots for good purposes such as fighting disease or repairing the environment may be the to many of today's problems.

    However, nano-robots could be a risk as well. Since nano-robots are so tiny, they will have to work in large teams of many thousands to 'many millions. For this reason, nano robots will have to be programmed to build . Scientists will not have the ability to build millions of nano-robots one by one.

    This to reproduce(复制)is making some scientists worried. What if something goes wrong in the programming? Quite a lot of crazy nan-orobots would be far than any disease. Some people think that if they get out of control, nan-orobots could destroy the Earth.

    What should be done? Should we continuenan-orobots or should we search for other methods? This is one of the many difficult that we have to make in the future.
