1、作文：
Modern technology makes life more convenient;tools are the milestores of the technology as well as human beings progress.
Men used to cut trees with hand saw.But now,by using electronic saw they can cut down a tree in only a few minutes.Another example is more vivid:You have something urgent which has to be informed to your friend whose house is two hours ride away.You probably want to make a phone call.But no telephone is installed in your friends home.What could you do?Nowadays,with modern technology advanting,using internet is popular with us.Some years ago,people had to get what they wanted through looking into a lot of information;at last people could become tired and spent too much time.Now,if you use Internet,all becomes a piece of cake.Only by clucking,you will gain what you expect.
We all hope that modern technology will reach a higher level,because modern technology makes life more convenient indeed.
2、翻译：
现代科技使生活更加便捷；工具是科技进步和人类进步的里程碑。人类过去用手锯锯树，但是现在，用电锯可在几分钟内锯倒一棵树。另外一个例子更加生动形象：如果你有急事通知你的朋友，而他家距你家有2小时的路程，你可能想打个电话。但是你的朋友家又没安电话，你该怎么办？如今，随着现代科技的进步，使用网络已很流行。若干年前，人们不得不查找大量资料来搜集需要的信息，最后人累得疲惫不堪，还浪费了大量时间。现在，如果使用网络科技，一切就都是小菜一碟了。只要轻敲键盘，就会有求必应。
我们都期待着现代科技能达到一个更高的水平，因为现代科技确实使生活变得更便捷。

With the development of science and technology,people's lives have been greatly changed.There is no doubt that we benefit a lot from the scientific advancements in many different ways.For instance,the invention of computers dramatically increases work efficiency and helps complete many difficult tasks that were impossible in the past.Apart from this,new discoveries and technology in medicine improve people's health,which allows them to enjoy a longer life.The progress of science also enlarges human's ablilities to explore the world around them,from up into space to deep under the sea.Thanks to the development of science and technology,human society has enjoyed continuous prosperity and more convenience.
However,just like a double-edged sword,science can cause problems too.It is known to all that the nuclear power,an environmentally friendly source of energy,can also be developed into a weapon of mass destruction.In addition,human cloning,which is expected to cure many serious diseases and save lives,may bring disasters of social morality.As a matter of fact,most of the improvements in science are made at the cost of our precious natural resources and have done great harm to the environment where we live in.
Therefore,how to deal with the progress of science and technology properly is worth our careful consideration.
随着科学技术的发展,人们的生活已经大大改变了。毫无疑问,我们受益很多从科学进步在很多不同的方式。例如,电脑的发明极大地提高工作效率,帮助完成许多困难的任务,在过去是不可能的。除此之外,新发现和医学技术改善人们的健康,使他们享受更长的生活。科学的进步也扩大人类的能力去探索周围的世界,从太空深海底。由于科学和技术的发展,人类社会的持续繁荣和更方便。
然而,就像一把双刃剑,科学也可以造成问题。众所周知,核能,环保的能源,也可以发展成一个大规模杀伤性武器。此外,克隆人类,预计治愈许多严重的疾病和挽救生命,可能带来灾害的社会道德。作为事实上,大多数科学的改进都是我们宝贵的自然资源为代价的,我们生活的环境造成了极大的伤害。
因此,如何正确处理科学技术的进步是值得我们仔细研究。
In the future ,there will be computers in each home.They will help us know more about the world ,We will be able to talk online.Kids won`t go to school and study at home on computers .Scientists will make lots of robots.They can help us do some homework .For example,cooking ,cleaning.And I think there will be more cars and pollution.So we should grow more trees and find other useful solutions to protect our environment.In aword ,the life in the world will be wonderful.

Not long ago, many people believed that babies only wanted food and to be kept warm and dry. Some people thought babies were not able to learn things until they were five or six months old.
不久之前,许多人认为婴儿的基本需求是食物和保持温暖干燥.人们以为婴儿只有到了五六个月大的时候才会开始学东西.
Yet doctors in the United States say babies begin learning on their first day of life. The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development is a federal government agency. Its goal is to identify which experiences can influence healthy development in human beings.
然而,美国的医生声称婴儿在他们出生的头几天便开始学习.肯尼迪施莱佛国立儿童健康和人类发展机构是联邦政府代理机构,他的目标是鉴别那些能影响人类健康发展的经验.
Research scientists at the institute note that babies are strongly influenced by their environment. They say a baby will smile if her mother does something the baby likes. A baby learns to get the best care possible by smiling to please her mother or other caregiver. This is how babies learn to connect and communicate with other human beings
该机构的调查科学家们注意到婴儿很大程度上受环境的影响,如果婴儿的母亲做了什么他们喜欢的事情,这个婴儿就会笑.婴儿学着通过微笑来愉悦母亲或者监护人来达到得到最好的照料的目的.这就是婴儿如何学习与他人联系交流的方式.
