On the news, some scientists agreed that the split of the moon was a r

13、esult of a major moon-quake. On the other hand, the religious people all agreed the moon split was a sign from God that the end of world was near. Time passed by, and there was no definite answer as to what exactly had happened to the moon. So, the mystery continued while the moon appeared to be shi

14、ning brighter than ever. “How do you like my mystery story, dad?” Adam asked his father. “Great! But I have one question.

Yet such depression is misplaced. The fossil record shows that many species have existed for

19、 millions of yearsso why shouldnt we? Take a look at our species in the universe, and it becomes clear we have an excellent chance of surviving for tens of thousands of years. Look up “Homo sapiens” (智人) in the “Red List” of threatened species of the International Union for the Conversation of Natur

20、e (IUCN), and you will read: “Listed as Least Concern because the species is widely distributed, adaptable, currently increasing, and there are no major threats resulting in an overall population decline.” So what does our deep future hold? Many researchers and organizations are now thinking serious

21、ly about the question. The potential evolution of todays technology is complicated, so its perhaps best left to science fiction writers and futurologists to explore the possibilities of the bright future. Our future is quite rosy because it shows many promising possibilities of achievement. Besides,
