选项
答案     We having entered the 21st century, the world is witnessing many earth-shaking changes. However, some severe problems have attracted our attention. Frankly speaking, I am always amazed when I hear people say that we should be optimistic about the 21st century. From my point of view, there is much to be done to make the world better.
    The dazzling development of technology is a good case in point. With technology accelerating, advances and challenges go side by side. Computers have relieved people from hard manual work, but they have also encouraged people to live in a virtual world. The Internet has provided people with a colourful world, but it has also given risen to new types of crimes. Media have reshaped the way people obtain information, but they have also been responsible for people’s laziness and inactive thinking. Mobile phones have promoted people’s communication and connection, but they have also invaded people’s privacy. Private cars have made it easy for us to move from one place to another, thus saving our precious time, but they have also polluted the environment and killed millions of people. The utilization of nuclear power has to a considerable degree relieved energy crisis, but it has also posed a threat to the world peace.
    If I were asked what changes should be in the 21st century, my answers would go as follows, in the first place, I hope that there will be long-lasting peace rather than war. Second of all, I hope that there will be less pollution and starvation. In addition, I hope that everybody can enjoy high-quality education and be oneself. Finally, I hope that cultural differences should be respected and discrimination will be eliminated thoroughly.
    As Charles Dickens once wrote, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." Maybe, this is the real world in which we live.
