答案 Recently I’ve read an article in a magazine saying that people should never be satisfied with the existing state of affairs. I readily agree with this point of view, as dissatisfaction seems to be a propensity inherent in human nature. On the most abstract level, the spirit of dissatisfaction constitutes the very force that has propelled human civilization forward in the course of human history. Stimulated by the thirst for knowledge from within and challenged by the harsh environment from without, man has evolved triumphantly from the most primitive to the most advanced and sophisticated. If it had contented our pristine ancestors to dwell in caves or to lead their nomadic life, they would have remained more vagabond creatures, lurking in the unfriendly forests and in the hostile wilderness, forever on the alert so as not to fall prey to some ferocious predators. Consequently we can safely conclude that it is precisely man’s inquiring mind and his aspiring nature that distinguish himself from other animals. In the modern world, this insatiable desire of man’ s has given rise to the most spectacular development of science and technology. We know that, with all the material wealth we have accumulated, we can live an acceptable, even a well-to-do life. However, we are also fully aware that life of this kind is not the best. Therefore, we travel into the unknown depths of the universe to explore all the mysteries and we undertake perilous expeditions to the South Pole with the hope of discovering alternative energy sources to compensate for those which we already have, but which are depleting at an alarming rate. To sum up, people should never be satisfied with the existing state of affairs. They should always want something novel and something different for the sake of development.
