Physicists were thinking far ahead of their time in a very intelligent way．They saw what was going to happen before it actually did．They thought about modern computing in the 1950s，they imagined a lot of the technological progress that we would see only decades later in the real world．They were asking very theoretical questions because these ideas were still so far removed from practice．And they asked very moral questions as well，because the things they conceptualized could be used for great good or for great evil．It could go either way，so moral judgments had to be made．

物理学家才思敏慧，所思所想远超他们所处的年代。他们能洞见即将发生之事。他们预见了20世纪50年代的现代计算技术，并想象到了我们几十年以后才看到的许多技术进展。他们提出实际生活中还未见端倪的理论性很强的问题，同时也提出了道德性很强的问题，因为在他们头脑中形成的概念性东西其用途不分善恶。既然善恶两可，这些概念性东西就需要道德来对它们进行评判。
Part VII Writing(30 minutes，15 points)
These years，school students are using more and more electronic products like computers and mobile phones，but they have a problem．Since they keep keying in words or choices，they are no longer as good as they are supposed to be at hand-writing． Hand-writing is still important in our life，especially to the students when they do exercises，take notes，write announcements or sit in for the examinations．Calligraphy will help them to write well and make them confident not only in school，but also in the future．Poor writing，however，means fewer opportunities and sometimes unrecognizable words may cause breakdowns in communication．
I think that we should first encourage students to write well in fountain pen because we use
it far more often in our life．of course，if some of them write for the artistic purpose，they can move on to write in brush pen．They will benefit both physically and mentallywhen they start to enjoy their achievements in writing．
