     Scientific discoveries have changed man's life a great deal during the past century. First of all, they have

greatly improved material well-being in several areas of life. In the field of medicine, cures for life threatening

diseases have enabled people to live longer. In communication, the telephone and e-mail have made it possible

for us to communicate with anyone in the world without leaving our homes or offices. Advances in

transportation allow businessmen to fly across the ocean in the morning and return home the same evening.

Space technology has put men on the moon. More efficient ways of using available resources, such as coal

and solar power, have been explored.

     Scientific discoveries have also changed man's moral atmosphere. Ethical (伦理的) issues are raised by

these discoveries. Should we keep a terminally ill person alive through drugs and machines or should we allow

him to die in dignity? With advances in transportation had come the problem of pollution for nearly every major

city in the world. If cities become uninhabitable, then such technical advances may come with too great a price

to pay. Many people also question the wisdom of sending men to the moon when there are urgent problems

that have not been solved on earth. During future years, increasing attention must be given to the moral as well

as the practical applications of science.
