&ntelligent machines such as robots are idely applied to ta'e the place of human beings.
Please discuss the ad$antages and disad$antages.
The technology of intelligent machines improves amazingly with the help of artificial intelligence.
Robots, known as steel-collar workers, are widely employed in different aspects, such as marine
research, space exploration and some modern assembly lines. Robots bring about advantages
undoubtedly, and meanwhile, they are not as versatile as expected. (! words"
The advantages of robots are innumerable. The employment of robots on assembly lines saves a
lot of labor forces. Robots are widely used in developed countries. #n $apan, one out of ten
thousand workers are robots, which not only improve the working efficiency, but also enhance
accuracy. That is the reason why robots are so popular in automobile industry and electronic
production line. (%& words"
'nother merit is that robots can take the place of human beings and work in the dangerous
environment or the places not accessible for us. (uman beings have extended their cognition to
the outer space, where there are considerable unpredictable dangers. Robots can work in any kind
of situation, no matter how awful the environment is. #n hospital, robots work as professional
doctors doing operation on the patients. )urthermore, robots can work around the clock, never
knowing what tiredness is. (*+ words"
(owever, the disadvantages of robots are undeniable. )irstly, all the robots and other intelligent
machines are designed by human beings. ,hat robots do is follow the instruction and pre-set
programming by human beings. #f there is something wrong with the electric circuit or programs,
robots will become good-for-nothing machines. -esides, robots cannot work creatively when
confronted with complicated situation. (.! words"
#n short, robots are subsidiary to human beings. (owever competent they are in various kinds of
field, robots will never take the place of human beings and play a decisive role in our work and
life. (&% words" (/*0 words totally"

The de$elopment of science and technology benefit our life. *oe$er+ scientists cannot find
effecti$e solutions to the problems they created. To hat degree do you agree or disagree
ith this opinion,
The development of science and technology makes our life more comfortable and convenient.
(owever, scientists have created many problems, which are not easy to be resolved, such as air
pollution, the deterioration of environment and the scarcity of natural resources, to which we must
some solutions.
1odern science and technology render people many advantages. 1odern telecommunication
shortens the distance between people and makes communication much easier. #nternet is widely
used now not only for collection of abundant information but also for correspondence. 2mail, the
most effective communication device now, is becoming very popular. -esides, telephone and
mobile phone make contact more convenient than before.
1odern transportation, such as airplanes and high-speed trains make our 3ourney smooth and
fast. ,ith the help of modern transportation, people can go everywhere they prefer to. The 3ourney
to outer space and other planets is not a dream any more. Rockets and space shuttles can help us
realize the dream of space travel.
1odern medicine prolongs people4s life and relieves patients of sufferings from many diseases.
5ancer and '#67 are fatal to people4s health. Thanks to the endeavors scientists have made, these
diseases become treatable.
(owever, the process of scientific development also arouses many sever problems to our human
beings. #nternet, though widely used in modern communication, is easy to be destroyed by
computer virus. 8uter space exploration has produced much waste in the space. ' tiny metal, a
screw, for example can destroy a flying man-made satellite. #ndustrialization is making natural
resources become scarce.
5onfronted with these problems, scientists are seeking prompt and feasible solutions. The
development of science and technology bring about both positive and negative effects to us. ,e
must eliminate the positive effects to the least extent. (/*% words totally"

What are the purposes of places such as museums and how should they be funded?
Museums illuminate the culture, history and arts of the world. Every country and overnment spare no
effort or money to enrich the collection of museums to cater for different tastes or needs of people, for
the benefit of the present and future enerations. !here are bounteous museums all over the world.
!he "ritish Museum, which is maybe the larest one in the world, provides visitors with all#round
$nowlede about the world culture and arts. !he visitors to the museum are all overwhelmed by the
manificence of the culture and history of man$ind. %f one wants to $now about the development of
human science and industry, he can have a tour to !he Museum of &cience and %ndustry located in
'hicao, the (nited &tates, where a detailed scientific proress is presented vividly. )ou cannot miss
every achievement human beins have made in history and you are sure to be shoc$ed by the
civili*ation our forefathers created. %f one wants to have a browse of the important events in the past,
+merican Museum of ,hotoraphy is the best choice. %t abounds in precious historical pictures and
ives visitors unforettable memory. +part from the state#owned museums, there are also innumerable
private museums whose purpose is to e-hibit their cherished collection and populari*e $nowlede.
With a view to ivin people updated information and renderin them a more detailed overview, many
countries invest a reat deal of money in the foundation of museums, because museums disseminate
human $nowlede and culture, which are more sinificant for the development of the youn eneration.
"esides, entrepreneurs and individuals should also lay a fund for the improvement and rebuild of
museums. !he prosperity of human culture is not only the responsibility of the overnment, but also the
responsibility of every individual and orani*ation. .2/0 words1
