Ever since Erg the caveman first conked an animal with a rock, people have been using technology. For thousands of years, the use of tools allowed people to move ever closer together. Because fields could be cultivated and the technology to store food existed, people would live in cities rather than in small nomadic tribes. Only very lately have Erg's descendants come to question the benefits of technology. The Industrial Revolution introduced and spread technologies that mechanized many tasks. As a result of the drive toward more efficient production and distribution (so the ever larger cities would be supported), people began to act as cogs in the technological machine. Clothing was no longer produced by groups of women sewing and gossiping together, but by down-trodden automation's operating machinery in grim factories.The benefits of the new technology of today, computers and the internet, are particularly ambiguous. They have made work ever more efficient and knit the world together in a web of information and phone lines. Some visionaries speak of a world in which Erg need not check in to his office; he can just dial in from home. He won't need to go to a bar to pick up women because there are all those chat rooms. Hungry? Erg orders his groceries from an online delivery service. Bored? Download a new game. And yet...Many people, myself included, are a little queasy about that vision. Erg may be doing work, but is it real work? Are his online friends real friends? Does anything count in a spiritual way if it's just digital? Since the Industrial Revolution, we have been haunted by the prospect that we are turning into our machines: efficient, productive, soulless. The newest technologies, we fear, are making us flat as our screens, turning us into streams of bits ofinterchangeable data. We may know a lot of people, but we have few real friends. We have a lot of things to do, but no reason to do them. In short, the new technology emphasizes a spiritual crisis that has been building forquite some time.As I try to unravel which I believe about the relative merits of technology, I think it is instructive to remember technology's original result. A better plow meant easier farming, more food, longer lives, and more free time to pursue other things such as art. Our newest technology does not give us more free time; it consumes our free time. We are terminally distracted from confronting ourselves or each other. We stay safe, and lonely, in our homes and offices rather than taking the risk of meeting real people or trying new things.While I am certainly not a Luddite, I do believe we need to look for a bit more balance between technology and life. We have to tear ourselves away from the fatal distractions and go out into the world. Technology has given us long lives and endless supplies of information. Now we need to apply that information, use the time we're not spending conking our dinner with a club, and find our reasons for living.COMMENTARYThis outstanding response displays cogent reasoning, insightful, persuasive analysis, and superior control of language. The essay immediately identifies the complexities of the issue and then playfully explores both the benefits and the drawbacks of technological developments over the course of human history. The writer maintains that a "balance between technology and life" is necessary if humans are going to abate the loneliness that is part of modern existence.I disagree with the argument that "Both the development of technological tools and the uses to which humanity has put them have created modern civilizations in which loneliness is ever increasing."" Arguments can be made for this thesis, but they depend largely upon what I believe to be a poor definition of "loneliness".If one defines loneliness as the absence of as much physical, face-to-face contact with other people, then this argument is probably true. The invention of modern telecommunications devices such as telephones, fax machines, and computers has definitely cut down on the amount of physical contact with other people. This is especially true in recent times due to the extremely rapid expansion of the Internet. E-mail and tele-conferencing are direct substitutes for physical contact, especially in the business world.However, I believe that loneliness can be better measured by intellectual contact with other individuals. Unarguably, modern technology makes thisfaster and easier, with better communication with a larger number of people. Some employers have argued that productivity is lessened since they have had computers linked to the Internet, as the employees spend much of their time"chatting" with friends, acquaintances, or business contacts across the country.This is probably not a good thing for the employers, but it demonstrates theincreased degree of communication due to modern technology.Of course, some technologies have increased loneliness by any standards, suchas the automobile or other transportation mechanisms. These encourage substantially longer commutes between home and work. Automobiles have made possible the pattern of suburbanization that has been in place in the United States since immediately after World War Two. Time spent commuting is generally unproductive and spent alone, unless the individual in question is car-pooling or using mass transit. The contribution of the commuting culture to loneliness may actually be changing now due to new technology that is being invented and used by the general public. Popular new devices, such as the cellular phone, the laptop computer, and the combination thereof may actually convert commuting time to a period of increased communications between people, to "pass the time". This will be especially true as use of mass transit grows, which will probably happen, due to problems with gas shortages, air pollution, and the creation of further mass transit by federal and local governments.The motivation for the declaration that loneliness is increasing may be due tothe fact that many people, especially blue-collar workers, are unable to afford or use these new devices. However, since the advent of the personal computer, the price per computing power has continually lowered rapidly, and this trend shows no sign of changing. Several companies, such as Sun Microsystems and Oracle have announced that they are attempting to develop terminals with little computing power, but a full capability to access the Internet. These devices will be in approximately the $500 price range, which is much more reasonable than the price of the current top of the line PC. In addition, to cater to a larger mass of the public, software companies have been carefully making their products easier to use by non-"computer nerds". This trend is not likely to cease.In conclusion, although early development of modern transportation may haveincreased loneliness, I believe that more recent technologies are actually doing the opposite, stimulating interpersonal contact and encouraging intellectual expansion. The perception that the opposite is true derives from what I believe is poor definition of loneliness and the difficulty that the working class has in acquiring and using modern telecommunications devices. COMMENTARYThis strong response analyzes the complexities of the issue. In disagreeingwith the prompt, the writer makes a distinction between two types of loneliness -- loneliness caused by "the absence of??? physical contact" and loneliness brought about by a lack of "intellectual contact" with others. The essayreasons that while "the automobile and other transportation mechanisms" originally kept passengers physically and intellectually isolated from one another, modern technology, such as the cellular telephone and laptopcomputer, has made intellectual contact "faster and easier" and has benefitedusers by allowing them to communicate with "a larger number of people." The response provides clear and relevant examples of the ways in which technological developments facilitate and encourage intellectual communication. The writer examines the impact of user-friendly Internet access on the individual's ability to interact with others even when physical distance separates the communicating parties.The organization is clear, yet transitions between paragraphs are not always smooth. The body of the essay lacks the focus that would help move it to a score of 6. It is not always clear how the information given relates to the essay's initial position (e.g., the discussion of current prices for personal computers in paragraph five). The conclusion, while clearly relevant, attempts to impose order on the somewhat loosely connected paragraphs, yet fails to add substance to the analysis.On the whole, the essay displays clarity and control, but the language issometimes imprecise and less tightly controlled than it would be in a 6 essay. The following sentence is one such example: "The motivation for the declaration that loneliness is increasing may be due to the fact that many people, especially blue-collar workers, are unable to afford or use these new devices."Looking at the above statement, I see a lot of truth to the statement . There are many ways that society has used the advanced technology in order to isolate themselves. It may or may not be a conscious move, but the results are all the same. The isolation occurs in a variety of ways and in all different areas. By computerizing factories, there are more and more people working long hours by themselves, with there only companion as a computer monitor. Although the company may be getting better production, the question that needs to be ask is at what cost to their employees.It is not only the management of big factories that are responsible for this isolation. This loneliness can be seen in many other settings. With the growing popularity of the television, the nation is seeing a decline in families talking and an increase in watching the television. Not only can this result in a generation of "coach potatoes", it is also causes less communication and a feeling of isolation from everyone that a person cares about.So far technology has entered the work place and the home, it has also entered the social relm. When you go to order food in the drive-thru, who is or better yet what is it that you talk to? It is a machine, although there is a person onthe other end, you are still reciting your order to a machine. If it is ten o'clock at night and you need money, there are ATM's. All of these gadgets may be very nice and convent, but they result in lack of human contact.Although it might be easy to blame technology for our feelings of loneliness, it is just a cop out. By looking at all the ways technology causes isolation, it is still people who choose to use these convenient methods. If a person wants to have human contact, all they have to do is go inside to the bank or go inside the restaurant to order. What it basically boils down to, is that it is our choice whether or not we use technology. It is a scary thought to think maybe one day we might live in a society where you will never have to leave your house. That by using FAX machines, computers, modems, and the telephone a person would never have to have human contact to get their job done. The thing is that if that is not what we as a society wants, we are the ones to speak out and change the outcome.COMMENTARYThis response presents a competent discussion of the issue. The position presented in the first paragraph -- that "there are many ways that society has used the advanced technology in order to isolate themselves" -- is adequately sustained, but the examples given are not always clearly relevant (e.g., in the case of paragraph one's "computerizing" of factories, the decision to use the technology is not made by the individual worker.) Also, the reasoning is not developed as fully as it would be in a response at the score level of 6 or 5. While organization is adequate, the response lacks the organized coherence of ideas that exemplify a 5 essay. Transitions, within and between paragraphs, are not always smooth or logical. The last paragraph could be much more clearly focused, i.e., several sentences repeat the same idea -- that "it is our choice whether or not we use technology" -- and the purpose or meaning of others (e.g., the last) is not immediately clear.In general, ideas are presented clearly, although awkward phrasing sometimes contributes to vagueness (e.g., "By looking at all the ways technology causes isolation, it is still people who choose to use these convenient methods"). Lack of sentence structure variety seems to inhibit the communication of ideas (e.g., many short sentences are often used where one or two compound ones could make the points more effectively). Overall, this is an adequate response to the topic.The technological tools we as a society have developed are not in themselves positive or negative, they are just that, tools. The uses, however, are definitely a different story. Computers, I believe at one time, were developed to save us time. Do our work more quickly for us so that we could have more leisure time to spend doing those things we enjoy. We have found now,especially those of us that are parents, that all of the leisure time we have gained is either spent watching our children learn things on the computer or creating our own unique something on the family computer. For one thing, ithas become a very fun item, the computers have become more than just workrelated technological tools. The amount of human interaction is limited,because people in general are spending much of their leisure time doing solo on the computer. In the past, it was common for the new young executive to get a membership to the exercise club as a perk, where he could socialize with the upper crust. Now the new young exec. gets a car phone or a portable fax, so that he can work from wherever he is, usually doing that solo trip to somewhere. Given these as examples, I would tend to agree with the statement that loneliness has increased as a direct result.COMMENTARYThis response is limited in both its analysis of the issue and its control of language.The writer clearly expresses the idea that "the technological tools we as a society have developed are not in themselves positive or negative." However, the essay provides only limited support for the position; the two examples are loosely connected and undeveloped.At times the organization of the essay makes for confusing reading. For example, the relevance of the "young executive" example is not clear because there is no transition from the preceding example of the computer. The conclusion, one sentence long, simply restates the claim made in the topic.The awkward sentences are evidence of a limited fluency. Greater use of compound sentences could help eliminate structural problems and facilitate the communication of ideas (e.g., sentences 3 and 4 could be combined).For all of these reasons, the essay received a score of 3.2、Computers of all shapes and sizes, p.c.'s, laptops, faxes, phones, the list never ends. All considered by our society as great technological advances. Not many would argue that the development of these tools has not advanced our world in some ways. However they certainly seem to be making our world one in which contact with our fellow man is less and less necessary. Though some may be more comfortable not having to engage in direct contact, it is questionable whether this is beneficial to society as a whole. The very least result could in fact be a very lonely world, but it may result in more significant problems.COMMENTARYThis response is seriously flawed. The analysis of the issue is extremely limited, and there are serious problems in sentence structure. The writer's position, never clearly stated, seems to be that as a result of technologicaldevelopments, "contact with our fellow man is less and less necessary."However, the implications of this statement (and others) are never explored ordeveloped. Furthermore, the list of technological advancements does not support or clarify the writer's already tenuously held position. Each new sentence could serve as a springboard to a thoughtful analysis but instead takes the response further from the apparent premise.While the essay exhibits a lack of sentence variety and contains somegrammatical errors, the language is for the most part controlled. This response did not receive a score of 2 because of a language problem, but because reasoning, analysis, and development are extremely thin and insubstantial.This statement is stating. The more advance in technology that society becomes, the more we depend on technology to live our everyday lives. Society as a whole will out do daily tasks and depend more on machines and computers to accomplish those tasks for them. For example; I was told that the younger generations use calculators in classes on a everyday level. We couldn’t do that. We had to resolve a problem on our own. Because calculators are being used, math problems are being adjusted around the calculators. If I didn’t know how to use a calculator today then I most likely wouldn’t know how to attempt to tackle the math of today. Computers of today are another example. Writing a essay took a lot of thought and hard work in past. Today, I can type some words in the computer and that computer will spell, make grammar correction, and dictate a right form to use in my essay. In the past we had to all these things on our own. I'm not putting down modern technology totally. I just want to state that if we take away people's ability to think then we will slowly loose our ability to function with out modern technology.COMMENTARYThis response is fundamentally deficient because it does not discuss the issue. Instead, it briefly discusses the drawbacks of specific types of technology (e.g., calculators and computers) in terms of the effect they have on an individual's ability to function without them.Furthermore, the essay lacks control of the basic elements of academic writing. Awkward and imprecise phrasing often interferes with meaning (e.g., "Society as a whole will out do daily tasks???").Issue test 2: Media and Social Values"The media (books, film, music, television, for example) tend tocreate rather than reflect the values of a society."6For our grandparents it occurred through films and books. For the babyboomers it was a result of television and revolutionary music. No matter how the impact took place, it is clear that since its very advent, the media haveplayed a crucial role in not simply being representative of the values of oursociety but creating them as well.During the roaring twenties Americans found themselves in a struggle betweenthe old ways of their ancestors and the new ways of the future. The once steadfast beliefs that men and women should not touch while dancing, and that ladies should not drink or smoke were suddenly being challenged. From where was all this rebellion stemming? Partly it was due to the returning doughboys from the shores of Europe bringing home revolutionary ideas they had encountered while at war. Nonetheless, returning soldiers could not be held responsible for the social upheaval that America experienced. There had to be another cause, and there was, the media. Although the films of the era were silent they spoke volumes to the society for which they were created. Women in these movies wore their hemlines a few inches shorter than the decade before them and they wore cosmetics to accentuate their new bobbed haircuts. The movies, as well as the books of that era, demonstrated a new materialistic attitude that America had never before experienced. Films portrayed every character as having the money to buy a new car, drink, smoke and partake in the leisure’s of life, a philosophy that was soon adopted by the youth of the decade. The use of the media in the twenties was to serve as a catalyst for the revolutionary ideas that were circulating. The films and books of that era sped America along its path of change that eventually led to the greatest social unrest that the United States had ever known.Unlike the twenties, the sixties and seventies utilized the media in a way that appealed to those searching for truth in a lost and confused world. Martin Luther King Jr. realized the impact of the media on society during his campaign for civil rights. King urged his followers to withstand any abuse that they might encounter because the media will take their peacefulness into the homes of their society. By doing so, King successfully began to change the traditional view of race. Americans began to sympathize with the protesters because of the undeserved turmoil they faced at the hands of the government. As a result, America relinquished the Jim Crow laws and saw many other groups press for their individual rights as well. Television cameras rolled as Cesar Chavez organized the migrant workers in California and as Bella Abzug and Gloria Steinham linked arms to protest the lack of women's rights.While the media helped to shape some attitudes about racism and gender it also helped to uncover the truth behind government lies. During the Nixon COMMENTARYThis is an outstanding response, even though it is not quite finished. The writer's views on the issue are so cogent, well articulated, and well developed that the writer was not penalized for failing to provide a conclusion. What matters is the quality of thinking and writing displayed, not whether an essay is totally finished or has a certain number of words.The writer's skill is apparent in the opening lines. The first words, "For our grandparents it occurred," immediately spark the reader's interest. The quick repetition of sentence structure and, once again, the intentionally vague use of "it" ("For the baby boomers it was") effectively draw the reader in. By the third sentence, we know that this essay will address the complexity of the issue ("not simply being representative??? but creating them as well") and that the writer is fully in command of this discussion.The rest of the essay addresses the influence of historical events and media on the values of modern society, from the "roaring twenties" to the "sixties and seventies." Insightful analysis accompanies the historical references. For example, the writer persuasively argues that prominent figures (King, but also Chavez, Abzug, and Steinham) advanced their social agendas by capitalizing on the power of the media to change public opinion.Throughout the essay, the writer uses language and syntax effectively. Word choice is precise ("cosmetics to accentuate their new bobbed haircuts"), sentences are structured to communicate ideas clearly ("There had to be another cause, and there was, the media"), and transitional phrases help move the argument forward ("Unlike the twenties, the sixties????" and "By doing so, King successfully began to change the traditional view of race.") Occasional errors do appear (e.g., note the lack of logical comparison in "women??? wore their hemlines??? shorter than the decade before them"), but they are not intrusive.Other 6 essays might be more fully developed; indeed, this essay would be stronger if the writer had gone on to discuss the media's role in Nixon's Watergate scandal and to bring the argument to its conclusion. However, even in its unfinished state, the essay does present an insightful, well-articulated discussion of the issue.5、There are some who would say that the media reflects the values of society. I believe however, that the media in fact tend to create values in a society.The values created may be far different from the values that our society would choose to embrace. I offer two examples that serve well to illustrate that the media can in fact shape the very moral fibers in our society.The first medium that comes to mind is music. Through music we can proclaim our love, communicate feelings, and express new attitudes. Music is widely available to almost everyone in our society. To see how music has changed the values of our society, one needs only to look to the urban sprawl. Rap and gangster styles of music reach millions of city teens and young adults. It's message is quite simple- violence, drugs, and sex . Young people are constantly bombarded with the message that if you want something all you have to do is to take it. The values of human life, respect for elders and children have been lost. We have gangs and random killings in the streets of most cities in our country. Are these my values? They are most certainly not. This music does not reflect the values of this society. This music is the very core of this degradation of our values. How many tricked out gang cars to you see that don't have the annoying bass rumble of Rap music vibrating out of them? This music is part of the persona of a whole generation of people. It is just as much a part of their ego as the guns, drugs, and abuse of women. Another medium that is shaping the values of our society is advertising.Advertising is everywhere, on T.V., billboards, radio, even at the ballpark. Through advertising some vendors can create "values". To illuminate my point I will use tobacco companies as an example. Joe Camel has convinced millions of young people that it is cool to smoke. The Marlboro man has done the same. The audience is always the same. These ads are targeting young people. They have created the "value" among children that it is ok for kids to smoke. Again the values of society have been changed by a powerful media. I'm sure there are not too many parents out there who would want their children to start smoking. Another advertising media that will surely change the values of ours society is the Internet.The internet is really just the world's largest commercial launched under the veil of access of useful information. It will be interesting to see just how this new network that has brought the world together will affect our values. These are just examples but I think they are effective at making my point. I think they serve to illustrate that the media can in fact change our values. As for me, I'll be out back smoking a Don Lino, on a beautiful trout stream while sipping a cold beer, waiting for the trout to rise and hoping a couple of those girls from the Coors commercial show up.COMMENTARYThis is a well-developed response. The four-paragraph organizational structure serves as a useful framework for the writer to develop a position on the issue.The opening paragraph presents the writer's position ("media in fact tend to。

高频段落(现场写不出来，需要提前准备的段落)1. 教育的本质The essential of education is improving individuals’ self-cultivation instead of creating parts of the society. The difference is like which between exercise at a gym and in a professional soccer team. The aim of former is improving our body to live a better life while the latter is using our body much better within the rules to win the game, to make ones living and serve the society. In a professional soccer training camp, a recruit may spend hours to practice sliding trickle not because it is good for health —it more likely has the opposite effect and rurally could be dangerous —but because sliding trickle is effective in defending especially in some one-to-one breaking through situation with in the rules on the courts. Thus this practice must be stopped if the rules were changed and the action were forbidden. On the other hand, we often see members at a gym practicing push-ups, five or fingers touching the floor and sitting on the ground with legs outstretched. The only vocation in which these particular actions could be use should be galley slaver, but I do not think they can access to such a job in the modern society however skillful they are. In general, course in a specific field aim to serve the society and help us to survive, while variety courses outside a field cultivate ourselves for a better life.2. 人的本质As a species on the Earth, just like ants or zebras, our nature order us to deliver our genes generation after generation as much as possible and thus we must be on a dominate position in struggle of life. In human society, being on an advantageous position rurally means having a green thumb, because it warrants not only our basic need such us food and clothes but also a better condition for our descendent. From this point of view, I agree…However, our human beings would never only be a living creature. We are distinctive from animals by given humanity which means an ethic of kindness, sympathy and benevolence extended universally and impartially to all human beings.

Political systemDemocracy where the historical trend has been, gives power to people as a whole. Most developed countries, including constitutional monarchy states, such as the USA and UK claim to operate as this political system. In this country, despite some problems such as power and wealth inequality, most of the citizens are well educated and given many rights and freedom politically and economically. Thus they can…At the same time, totalitarianism, a highly centralized political form which tend to regulate people’s daily life and seek to bend people to the will of the government, also extent in some other countries. Two typical examples of totalitarian governments are Nazi Germany and North Korea. The former is notorious for the intrude in the World War Two, while in the latter, ordinary citizens had no access to the computer or internet at all and government control the mass media, keep the people in poverty and even guard the citizens by powerful surveillance equipment. In totalitarianism countries…4. The function of ARTArt, the production of creative activities, conveys an idea, emotion or sense of feeling by shapingor selecting simple elements. Usually, art, as a vision or thinking of the world, is used to criticize the world it might be, to wake up sleepwalking people fight for their life, to heal a broken heart and energize a tired soul and it truly has an effect in any society life mentally and worldly. Socially, individuals can express their own need to call for help through arts just like the black singer J-Zay singing the wish of racial equality in his songs. Economically, pictures, music albums and sculptures exchange a lot of GTP and support thousands of family in any corner of the world. Either Justin Timberlake showing on the Grammy Awards or a nameless painter drawing pictures for the tourists on some street corner in Rio is benefit from art. Didactically, a lot of heroes and moral models are described and eulogized in pomes, hymns and movies. Through this forms of art, the moral principles inject into each new generation. Politically, arts could be a conservative force to elicit loyalty and thus to stabilize the society because particular arts in many ways symbolize a culture. Besides, we often heard songs comes from a temple or a church to express their loyalty and rumination, we often add the beauty to our surrounding by hang on a picture or playing a movement, and we often repose ourselves by listening a piece of symphony. Arts perform an indispensable role in all aspects of our life.5. Culture definition and functionCulture is a compound of rituals, religion, economical systems, language, a style of dress, a way of cooking and a political system. It is not an inborn thing but inherited by learning and sharing. Thus, each culture holds a group of people and their descendants together to help them adapt to the ever-changing world on several levels. On the material level, a culture provides a way for people to generate and change the goods for survive. On the social level, a culture organizes people through family, wok and political structure. The last level is metaphysical, it gives a group of people a unique way to ruminate themselves, cognize the world, think about the university and form our beliefs and ideas. These different aspects all above creative a interact mechanism between human and their environment.6. Critical thinkingCritical thinking is the ability to draw a reasonable conclusion after gathering and assessing relevant information independently. Although critical thinking can be used to exposing others’fallacies, it is different from being critical or argumentative of other people. Good critical thinking helps us acquire knowledge, improve our theories and enhance work processes. Thus it is definitely a foundation of science and a liberal democratic society.7. The function of the low。

gre issue 模板Introduction:The statement claims that in order to truly understand a society, one must examine the individuals who compose it. While I agree that individuals play a significant role in shaping a society, I believe that other factors such as culture, history, and institutions are equally important.Body Paragraph 1:To begin with, culture has a profound influence on a society. While individuals may contribute to the formation and evolution of culture, it is the collective beliefs, values, customs, and traditionsof a society that shape the behavior and mindset of its members. For example, in cultures that prioritize collectivism, individuals are likely to place great importance on group harmony and cooperation. On the other hand, in individualistic cultures, personal achievement and autonomy are emphasized. Therefore, to comprehend a society, one must consider the cultural norms and practices that influence individuals' thoughts and actions.Body Paragraph 2:Additionally, history plays a pivotal role in understanding a society. Historical events, such as wars, revolutions, and social movements, have long-lasting impacts on people's attitudes, social structures, and power dynamics within a society. These historical legacies shape the collective memories and identities of individuals, influencing their behavior and shaping the society as a whole. For instance, the American Revolutionary War not only resulted in political independence but also ingrained principles of freedom and democracy in its citizens, which continue to influence Americansociety today. Thus, examining historical context provides crucial insights into the understanding of a society.Body Paragraph 3:Furthermore, institutions have a significant impact on shaping a society. Institutions are formalized structures and organizations that establish rules, roles, and expectations for individuals within a society. They include educational systems, legal frameworks, political systems, and economic structures, among others. Institutions set the boundaries and provide the necessary frameworks for individuals to interact and function within society. For instance, a society with a strong educational institution may emphasize the importance of learning, knowledge, and intellectual development. Therefore, analyzing institutions is crucial in comprehending the overall functioning and dynamics of a society. Conclusion:While individuals do play a crucial role in shaping a society, culture, history, and institutions are equally important factors to consider. By examining the collective beliefs, historical events, and institutional structures, a deeper understanding of a society can be achieved. Therefore, to truly comprehend a society, a holistic approach that considers various aspects is necessary.。

Different people hold different views due to their distinct backgrounds. Therefore, there is not a universal answer to this question, and whether one choice takes precedence over the other may quite depend on the specific situation.

(即在作者的观点上，加上一些条件，有保留地赞同). However, the author unnecessarily extends this broad assertion to an irreversible extreme while overlooks other compelling factors that may affect this issue. On balance, my points of agreement and contentionwith the author involve the fundamental and deep analysis as discussed below.On the one hand, I would like to admit that this statement, although suffers from some obvious drawbacks, has some merit primarily in some special cases in which the implicit rationale behind it accords with common sense and our experience in daily life.

In the final analysis, ….Assumption 段：The primary problem of this recommendation is that is paradoxical in its nature: scientific research is to explore the unpredictable in search of true answers to our questions; therefore no one can firmly determine its consequences before it is conducted.

For this reason I cannot agree with the claim completely.There is no question that things get more complex and mysterious in the course of acquiring more knowledge. Complexity and mysteriousness of things actually reflect and will propel the great advance of human civilization. Living in a fast-developing world, we are facing more demanding dilemma and mysterious catastrophe never have been. It is this complicated situations and convoluted problems shows wisdom and progress of human being. By acquiring more knowledge and experience, we can ravel difficult problems. Only in the process of understanding of this difficulty can we go forward and then face more puzzles. In fact, things which are mysterious and complex are just hallmark of human civilization. Furthermore, complicated things could go a long way in propelling progress of human culture.This actually very questionable that situations did not becomes comprehensible during the journey of acquiring knowledge. In contrast to the statement, we can even see a more comprehensible knowledge. Consider, for example of the development of long-distance communication, from the time-consuming of letter to telegraph with much more information and fast speed, then video chat, we have a more efficient and effective long-distance communication form. In this case, knowledge helps us improve the efficiency of communication in a more comprehensible way. In fact, whenever we fix up something using the acquired knowledge, we obviously have a clear mind than before. It seems ridiculous if you have just successfully repaired your computer through the manual but you feel puzzled and confound.Beyond this---and most significantly, I cannot completely agree with this claim with respect to the statement that it is acquiring more knowledge itself make our thinking more complex and mysterious. The process of getting knowledge makes no change to us. Imagining the scenario that you just learn some experiences but just accept autonomously, with no questions and thinking, things must not getting convoluted. It is apparent from this example that our human-being makes the world complicated and convoluted. Knowledge we learned is just a tool. To expand on this point, things become more complex because it based on its unclear part. At the same time, it seems more comprehensible based on its clear part.。
