【impressions and some thinking】

Science is so important and marvelous. As a student majoring in Science ,I always feel amazed by the fantastic science.

The article talks about a portion of the science's progression.Almost every advance depends in some measures on previous work and theories.Because of many scientists ' efforts, we have so many modern devices. However there are also many topics for us to discovering and solving. Uncertainty and infinity is one of the theme in today's world. It seems likely that there will always be more questions than answers,but future discoveries will surely continue to amaze.

Hope a more-intelligent world!

Thanks to the reading class, I can find over two hours for English every day,and now I am not so afraid of English, I hope I can develop a habit of learning English and make progress.
