It must be stressed that a characteristic aspect of the present time is that science is exercising a decisive influence on technology, creating new problems for it, guiding its development and conditioning its progress. As a result, science is tending to become a direct force of industry. Scientific theories penetrate technological processes.In its turn, the development of science is strongly influenced by the astounding progress of modern technology, which places at its disposal previously undreamed of means; apparatus of high precision and of tremendous power, such as particle accelerators, nuclear reactors, electronic computers, etc. The improvement of industrial technology makes possible the realization of high intensity phenomena such as pressure, temperature, very high tension or nearly ideal conditions of vacuum, often indispensable to accurate experimental results.Science does not, generally, affect industry directly but does so through the intermediary of technology which places at industry's disposal new improved and powerful machines that increase the productivity of labor. It improves technological processes, introduces new forms of energy, creates new materials not provided by nature, introduces new and varied means of transport, communication and telecommunication control and tele-control. All these means amazingly increase the productivity of labor by substituting human force for those of nature.The raising of the technical level of industry, therefore, constitutes a major imperative of our time presented to science, which finds itself in the vanguard of social progress.

中美贸易之所以能迅速发展，根本原因在于两国经济具有极大的互补性。这种互补性，很大程度上来自两国经济资源条件、经济结构以及消费水平存在着很大的差异。中国是最大的发展中国家，市场广阔，发展迅速，劳动力成本低，但资金短缺、科技和管理相对落后。美国是最大的发达国家，经济总量大，资本充足，科技发达，但劳动力成本高。这种差异性和互补性，将在今后长期存在，在经济全球化的大背景下显得更加突出。

人生据说是一部大书。假使人生真是这样，那么，我们一大半作者只能算是书评家，具有书评家的本领，无须看得几页书，议论早已发了一大堆，书评一篇写完交卷。但是，世界上还有一种人。他们觉得看书的目的，并不是为了写书评或介绍。他们有一种业余消遣者的随便和从容，他们不慌不忙地浏览。每到有什么意见，他们随手在书边的空白上注几个字，写一个问号或感叹号，像中国旧书上的眉批，外国书里的Marginalia。这种零星随感并非他们对于整部书的结论。因为是随时批识，先后也许彼此矛盾，说话过火。他们也懒得去理会，反正是消遣，不像书评家负有指导读者、教训作者的重大使命。

城市中的绿洲 走在人声鼎沸、高楼耸立的城市里，大楼帷幕玻璃在阳光里闪闪发亮。这些巨大的建筑物曾经是进步与繁荣的象征，不过在环保人士的眼里可不是如此。建筑物的玻璃窗会吸收大量的能量，进而增加室内的温度，也带来了高额的电费。随着世界各国对节约能源投以越来越多的关注，建筑师也渐渐地将环保理念融人设计中。 广泛使用集热的太阳能板，也被视为“绿色建筑”的下一拨大事。太阳能板可收集太阳生成的热能，以提供灯具或其他家用电器的电力。在大家对化石燃料是否有耗尽的一天仍然争论不休之际，风力和热力也被认为是很好的替代能源。

The human brain contains 10 thousand million cells and each of these may have a thousand connections. Such enormous numbers used to discourage us and cause us to dismiss the possibility of making a machine with human-like ability, but now that we have grown used to moving forward at such a pace, we can be less sure. Quite soon, in only 10 or 20 years perhaps, we will be able to assemble a machine as complex as the human brain, and if we can we will. It may then take us a long time to render it intelligent by loading in the right software(软件)or by altering the architecture, but that, too, will happen. I think it certain that in decades, not centuries, machines of silicon(硅)will arise first to rival , and then exceed their human ancestors. Once they exceed us they will be capable of their own design. In a real sense they will be able to reproduce themselves. Silicon will have ended carbon's long control. And we will no longer be able to claim ourselves to be the finest intelligence in the known universe. As the intelligence of robots increases to match that of humans and as their cost declines through economies of scale we may use them to expand our frontiers, first on earth through their ability to withstand environments. Thus, deserts may bloom and the ocean beds be mined. Further a-head, by a combination of the great wealth this new age will bring and the technology it will provide, the construction of a vast, man-created world in space, home to thousands or millions of people, will be within our power.
