answer to each of the questions.
WONDERS OF THE MODERN WORLD
I don't believe that today's wonders are similar in kind to the wonders of the Ancient
World They were all buildings, such as the Pyramids in Egypt, or other architectural
structures Over the past 100 years, we have seen amazing technological and scientific
achievements These are surely our modern wonders
1. It is everywhere More than half a billion people use it, and the number of people
who are online increases by 100 million every year In 1994, there were only a few
hundred web pages Today there are billions It has revolutionized the way we live and
work But we are still in the early days Soon there will be more and more interactivity
between the user and the website, and we will be able to give instructions using speech
2 In 1960, Neil Armstrong stepped out of his space capsule onto the surface of the
moon and made his famous statement: 'That's one small step for a man, one giant leap
for mankind' Since then, there have been space probes to Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and
even to the sun One day, a space observatory will study how the first stars and galaxies
began So far, it seems that we are alone in the universe There are no signs yet that
there is intelligent life outside our own solar system But who knows what the future
holds?
3. Surely nothing has done more for the comfort and happiness of the human race than
the advances in health care! How many millions of people have benefited from the
humble aspirin? How many lives has penicillin saved? Average life expectancy
worldwide has risen dramatically over the past 100 years, from about 47 years in 1900
to about 77 years today
4. We are a world on the move Airlines carry more than 1.5 bullion people to their
destinations every year It is estimated that, at any one time these days, there are as
many people travelling in aeroplanes as the total number of people who travelled abroad

5. It is true that they are now commercialized, and there is greed and drug abuse
However, it is a competition in which almost every country in the world takes part
Every four years, for a brief moment, we see the world come together in peace and
friendship We feel hope again for the future of mankind
6. In 1724, Jonathan Swift wrote, 'Whoever makes two blades of grass or two ears of
corn grow where only one grew before serves mankind better than the whole race of
politicians’ In Europe our farmers have done this In 1790, whole villages in France
died of hunger Now in Europe, we can't eat all the food we produce If only politicians
could find a way to share it with those parts of the world where there is famine
7. We are still here! The last wonder of the modern world is simply that we are still
here We have had nuclear weapons for over 50 years that could destroy the world, but
we haven't used them to do it This is surely the greatest wonder of all
