As far as I know, some talented people are strange. They may be good at one thing but not talented in other areas.

I could bee skilled at science, art or economics (經(jīng)濟(jì)). But I would make sure this button couldn39。t do me any harm before turning it on.Marie: If more people became geniuses, it may lead to an increase in hightech crime (犯罪), such as stealing money through the Internet and creating harmful puter viruses. It is hard to imagine what the world would be like if all the criminals were very clever.Judy: In my opinion, such a button can do a lot of good. It may help us to develop our abilities so that we can make new discoveries. As a result, we could solve many problems and have a more fortable life. If possible, I am eager to bee a genius.Helen: Although it is convenient, I don39。t think its right to bee cleverer in this way. If someone wants to be successful in math or art, he or she should work hard.

In my opinion, most of us would treasure such a chance to make our lives easy and interesting.

Another dream that I had several times, was that I would give up my life to (7) others. After all, if I were going to die anyway, it might as well do some good. But I didn39。t die. In fact, although there was a cloud (8) over my future, I found to my surprise, that I was enjoying life in the present more than before. I began to make progress with my research, and I got (9) to a girl called Jane Wilde, who I had met just about the time my condition was diagnosed. That engagement changed my life. It gave me something to live for. But it also (10) that I had to get a job if we were to get married. I therefore applied for a research fellowship（獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金）at Cambridge.
