Age arrived.

Section Three Translation from English into Chinese

Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese.

But there is a limit to everyone's ability to adapt. What will happen to us when change comes so rapidly that we can no longer adjust to it? These same scientists who talk about our adaptable nature also tell us that change is to some degree emotionally painful to everyone. What then, will happen to us when change comes so rapidly that we can no longer stand the pain, and we refuse to change?

We have read a lot about scientific and technological change, but that is only part of the picture of modern life. There is often a great lag between scientific discovery and cultural acceptance. For example, Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, proposed over one hundred years ago and accepted by all serious scholars for generations, is still rejected by large segments of society. These segments see science as contradicting a higher religious authority. They see science as questioning and destroying their beliefs and culture.

但是有一个限制每个人的适应能力。我们什么时候会发生什么改变”得如此之快,以致于我们能不再适应吗?这些相同的科学家谈论我们的适应自然也告诉我们,在某种程度上改变情绪痛苦的每一个人。那么,将会发生在我们身上时我们会发生改变得如此之快,以致于无法再忍受痛苦,我们拒绝改变?

我们已经读了很多关于科学和技术的变化,但这只是部分的现代生活的照片。通常是一个伟大的科学发现和时间差文化接受。例如,查尔斯·达尔文的进化论,提出在一百多年前的严肃的学者所接受,一代又一代,仍然是被社会的大部分地区。这些部分把科学当作否定一个更高的宗教权威。他们把科学当作质疑并摧毁他们的信仰和文化。

My view on surfing the virtual world

Virtual worlds have become a growing power in kids' online activities. In 2008, an estimated eight million US children and teens visited virtual worlds on a regular basis. It is estimated that by 2013 this number will be doubled. These online worlds are a relatively new phenomenon, so there isn't much research on their impact on kids. As parents, we ask: Is it safe? Is it educational? Do our children benefit from this activity? In lack of long-term research the best answer seems to be that like every other activity we choose to do, when it is measured and in balance with other activities, it can be enjoyable, harmless and sometimes even educational. It is our responsibility as

parents to direct our children to safe constructive activities that will help them to grow as people and become contributing citizens. The same thing is true for choosing online activities for them and specifically for virtual worlds. As parents we have to make sure that our children visit virtual worlds that are suited for their age and are safe for them. We also want to direct our children to virtual worlds that offer quality content and educational value.
