88．科学技术不但影响而且决定了社会风俗和道德规范。

1, 确实影响了科技，研究等领域的观念。
2，确实影响了我们对某些事物的认知。
3，不过起决定作用的是我们本身的天性。
4，我们的对科技的贡献是源自我们对未知事物的求知欲望，不屈的精神和开拓精神使我们不甘于现状，努力创造更有利于人类发展的环境

The speaker asserts that technologies influence and in fact, play a chief role in the society mores and convention’s formation. I fundamentally agree with the influence the technologies endue but the conclusive force to determine the customs and ethics, belonging to humanism, would never stem from technologies.

Admittedly, the technologies do bestow us a number of more convenient methods to carry on our quotidian affairs and even in the circle of high-tech itself, where the older and more stale access is historically transformed to a set of brand new settlements to reach more efficient and effetive conditions. For the matter of experiment, in ancient times, we regularly operate it in manual way, instead of which today we carry on a research in automatical way, which need no concern about the accuracy and efficience, relatively we concentrate more on analysing the outcomes from ,say, the computer and other analogous implements, with our multi-dimensional scrutiny. In other words, the more advanced technologies, the more sophisticated human’s ideation. In fact, a lot of verbose steps have been omitted due to the implements’ benefaction with technologies. Thus human being could devote more to the advanced process in the successive research along with which more innovation and creativity could go.

Society might also be influenced by the technologies, for people become more aware of the concept how to do errands more efficiently and effectively and how to expand their horizon and deepen their insight to grip the essence of one substance instead of judging it in a more ostensible way, which always lead to unjustified or premature claws. We need look no further than the societal behaviour of investment, nowadays people are more willing to liquidize their capital to more fields for profits not only in the bullish banking market or the stock market, but in the way of fund to bring profits with less risks. Investment is becoming a nationwide attitude.

The high-tech does have their fascinate role in our rosy life and more positive and advanced in scientific attitude, however, the humanism, including the ethics and customs, formed by our history of long standing and culture of diverse understanding, might be determined by not only technologies but, more significantly, the spirit of human-beings.

As we all know, the implements helping to facilitate and bring efficient methods to our experiment are created by our humans, which indicates our spirit of generalization and utilization.We have nothing originally, but we have the spirit to develop and exploit. The discovery of penicillin immediately cross my mind that at first fleming discovered it by accidence and then other two scientists, Howard Florey and Ernest Chain, exploited them for the wide and safe use of them. And a lot of discoveries are based on the predecessors’ contribution though, it is persistence and fortitude, our rooted merits, that bring revelations of them.

1hour scribble and 30 mins emendation

Some people might argue that the history of human is teeming of blood wars, where weapons upgraded and more advanced technologies emerges, laser, wireless,global position system and so forth. So it’s successive high-tech breakthroughs that originate the spirit of competitiveness and miserliness. But why war, why not subordination? That’s attributed to the spirit of competitiveness and innovation. Our self-certified and innate spirits create the weapons and trigger wars, thus high-tech rises up to fulfil the consciousness of competitiveness and development.

In sum, albeit the technologies ostensibly change some life styles and attitudes to deepen understanding of one substance and accelerate the procedure of one event, which more substantially satisfy the human’s spirit of sophistication and efficiency. It’s the innate things, like the spirit, that determine our humanism including ethics and customs.
