Yes, it's very clear that machine power is better than man power. But machine power has its limitations (局限).It cannot survive without electricity and manhandling. If it doesn't have these two then it is completely useless. So man should not completely depend on machines. One more point is that because of the use of machines man has become lazy. This laziness has brought in many problems like obesity, arthritis (关节炎)and other health problems. But I am not saying that man should completely turn from machine power to man power. He should have a balance of both. Even I can't think of life without a car, a computer and a cooler.

Sally 9-May-2019

Humans only created the machines. So, human power is greater than machine power. To do the things quickly we created the machines. But machines cannot think. That thinking power beats machine power.

Tina 17-May-2019

But without humans there is no value of any machine. If someone wants to use his machine perfectly then one must have expert labor or man power.

Tommy 19-May-2019

Hi to all, my opinion is that human power is more powerful than machine power, because human beings created the machines. Human brain works more compared to machines.

Mike 20-May-2019

I think human power is better than machine power because even if we travel on foot to near places the money will not be wasted and we can get exercise.

【推荐3】Some people have a very poor sense of direction.Unluckily，I am one of them.I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time.

When I was a little girl，I never dared to ask strangers the way.And so I used to walk around in circles and hope that by chance I would get to the place I was going to.

Now，I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions，but I often receive helpless or even wrong information.So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions.If anyone ever asks me the way somewhere，I would say，“Sorry，I am a stranger here.”

Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps，I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However，I had no time to turn back and look for him. I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn't want to keep him waiting.

When I just got to my office，the secretary(秘书) showed in the man who had asked me for directions. Imagine how embarrassed I was and how surprised he was when we saw each other at the first sight.

【推荐3】Is running a marathon in under two hours possible? Will a human ever be able to run that fast? Currently, the world record for the 42. 195 km（26.219 miles）distance is held by Kenyan Dennis Kimetto. His time of 2:02:57 hours was achieved at the Berlin Marathon of 2014.

For many years, long-distance runners have been trying to get nearer and nearer to the magical mark of two hours. Studies published in the past by medical and athletic experts have come to the conclusion that running a marathon in under 2 hours can be done. They even see a time of around 1:57 as the fastest a human can ever run. However, we will have to wait at least a decade or longer for this to happen.

Many things must fit together to deliver an under two-hour marathon. An athlete would have to have the perfect body size and weight, the right running strategy and of course, the right nutrition. Today's most perfect runners come from Kenya and Ethiopia, countries that have dominated（统治）long-distance races for decades. East African athletes have long legs and lungs that can take in lots of oxygen. Training at high altitudes gives them a strong heart and a very large blood volume（容量）.

Ideal weather conditions with cool temperatures and almost no wind will also be needed to attempt such a quick time. An ultra-fast marathon would only be possible on flat city courses, like Berlin or London, with few curves（弯道）.

Since the beginning of the modern Olympic Games in 1896, athletes have tried to run long-distance races as fast as possible. In 1900, the marathon world record was around 3 hours. In the following 30 years, men were able to reach a mark of 2:30. As time went on, achieving faster times became more and more difficult. In the last 15 years, for example, the world record has improved by only 3 minutes.

On the other hand, some experts think that such fast performances will only be possible with the help of illegal drugs or substances（物质）. In the past years, several East African runners have been tested positive and many of them banned.

1. What's the function of Paragraph 1?

A．To introduce readers a topic.

B．To tell readers the world record.

C．To attract the attention of readers.

D．To tell readers who held the world record.

2. Paragraphs 3 & 4 are about _____________.

A．the benefits of running a marathon

B．perfect runners who can compete in a marathon

C．the development of modern long-distance races

D．perfect conditions for an under two-hour marathon

3. What's the meaning of the underlined word “strategy”?

A．Plan.

B．Strength.

C．Length.

D．Time.

4. Why did the author write the passage?

A．To inform the idea.	B．To discuss the possibility.
