    Will the science and technology of our times【C4】________forever?【C5】________.
    In the future, people will view today’s science and technology just as we【C6】________those of centuries ago.
    Therefore, technicians and scientists ought to【C7】________full play to their innovations during the latter’s limited "shelf life."【C8】________, the application and spread of advanced science and technology has been hitting man-made snags (障碍) in today’s world. Many of these【C9】________are imposed by the developed West.
    Science and technology is a【C10】________that belongs to all mankind. To prevent its spread and exchange of scientific data for the sake of narrow interests is a selfish act.

The space station technology of today will also be replaced by new ones. One day in future, human beings【C18】________be able to undertake interplanetary journeys as easily as they travel by plane from one country to another. Focusing on immediate interests and【C19】________a blind eye to the future will hamper science workers’ efforts to maximize the benefits of science and technology and will also affect entire society.
