Part A 原文
In my opinion,technology has become too advanced. I am 17-years-old, and I can still remembera time when I did not have a computer in my home, and if you did, it wasuncommon. Not until the mid-1990s was it common for（middle class families） to have computers. In our society today,almost every single family has at least one computer if not more, and thesecomputers are incredibly advanced compared to what you'd have had in your homea short ten years ago. Over the years, I have seen technology bloom; all I haveknown my entire lifetime, is that there is going to be something bigger, Ishould really say smaller, and better （out on the market） in no time. I can't believe how fast manufacturers are coming out withnew technology. What will happen in the future, will technology become soadvanced is changes the course of our humanity? You can do everything you wantfrom a computer, work, play,（talk to friends）, research, and even order food! A person could live their entire lifejammed up in a room with a computer, and they would have access to everythingthey need! It is insane! The advances in communication technology are blowingup all over the place as well. I, myself just bought a new camera phone, andthis phone is amazing. The picture quality is superb, and not only that but I （have access to the） internet on my PHONE! I can't believe howthe cell phone market has so drastically increased. The first phone I ever hadwas five years ago, when I was 12 years old. That phone today would beconsidered huge, clunky, heavy, and "old". I personally couldn't evenimagine myself walking around with that phone （without beingembarrassed）. It just goes to show how much things havechanged in five years, and people just keep on taking it all in. Every time Ihave bought a new phone since that point, six months later, I have wanted a newone because my phone was not up to date. Can you believe it, after not even ayear a phone can completely go off the market because it is not advancedenough? The manufacturers are putting these things out faster than people canbuy them.

Part B 原文
It is an honor tospeak with you today on the issue of（ public healthdisparities）. I would first like to thank theorganizations that made this event possible. This has truly been acollaborative effort among a diverse group of constituents. I think this sets apositive tone and precedent for a healthy and spirited discussion. As many ofyou may know, reforming and improving our health care system is an issue thatis close to my heart. I believe that in the richest and most powerful countryin the world, we ought to be able to provide （basic health care）to all of our citizens. It is vitally important that we lessen theimpact and burden of illness on all people in communities, regardless of race,gender, or religions. Our discussions today are critically important to rectifythe injustices that many people face in our current health care system. Today’s sessions have a greater purpose than mere discussions and networkingopportunities----today’s conference signifies an increased and （necessary call for action） among our region’s top health professionals. Public health is directly connected topoverty, income, education, and community. We cant’ look at health care in a silo and assume it is only a luxury for thewell off. Health care needs to be provided to all people of all color. We aremorally responsible for （improving the disparities in health care） because a healthy society is the foundation on which we build ourschools, our neighborhoods, and our economy. Health care is not aprivilege----it is a right. I know we have along road to travel in achievingequality in health status. I know that everyone here knows this. And I amhopeful that perhaps more people than ever are （finally waking up tothis reality）.

Part C1 原文
There were veryfew places in the world that Jules Verne, the writer,, did not visit. He wentround the world a hundred times or more. Once he did it in eighty days, unheardof in the nineteenth century. He voyaged sixty thousand miles under the sea,toured around the moon, exploded the center of the earth, and chatted withnatives in Australia. Jules Verne, the man, was a stay-at-home. He was morelikely to be tired from writing than from traveling. He did make a few visitsto Europe and North Africa. And he made one six-week tour of New York State.But that was all. He spent less than one of his seventy-seven years reallytraveling. Yet he was the world’s most extraordinary tourist. His books arecrowded with hunting and fishing expeditions. Jules actually went hunting onlyonce. Then he raised his gun and shot off the guard’s hat! He never held a testtube in his hand. But he was an inspiration to the scientist in the laboratory.Long before radio was invented, he had TV working in his books. His name for itwas phono-telephoto. He had helicopters fifty years before the Wright brothersflew their first plane at Kitty Hawk. In fact, there were few wonders of thetwentieth century that this man of the nineteenth century did not foresee. Inhis stories you can read about neon lights, moving sidewalks, air-conditioners,sky-scrapers, guided missiles, tanks, electrically operated submarines, andair-planes,and so on.

Part C2 原文
Very old people doraise moral problems for almost everyone who comes in contact with them. Theirvalues-this can’t be repeated too often-are not necessarily our values.Physical comfort, cleanness and order are not necessarily the most importantthings. The social services from time to time find themselves faced with a flatwith decaying food covered by small worms, and an old person lying alone inbed, taking no notice of the worms. But is it interfering with personal freedomto insist that they go to live with some of their relatives so that they mightbe taken better care of? Some social workers, the ones who clear up the worms,think we are in danger of carrying this concept of personal freedom to thepoint where serious risks are being taken with the health and safety of theold.Indeed, the old can be easily hurt or harmed. The body is like a car, itneeds more mechanical maintenance as it gets older. You can carry thiscomparison right through to the provision of spare parts. But never forget thatsuch operations are painful experiences, however good the results will be. Andat what point should you stop to treat the old body? Is it morally right to tryto push off death by seeking the development of drugs to excite the forgetfulold mind and to activate the old body, knowing that it is designed to die? Youcan’t ask doctors or scientists to decide, because so long as they can see thetechnical opportunities, they will feel bound to give them a try, on theprinciple that while there’s life, there’s hope.
