It is generally believed that scientific research should improve our quality of life. Meanwhile, there is almost universal agreement that the government should provide financial and political support for any research that is likely to result in immediate and significant benefits for the majority of people. However, when it comes to whether the government should support scientific research with no practical use, people's ideas vary. I agree with the statement that the government should distribute enough funds to any scientific research that aims to improve the wellbeing of people, even if it is of no practical use in the short run.

Scientific research whose social benefits are immediate, predictable, and farreaching should continue to be a high priority (优先事项). For example, biotechnology research has been proven to help cure and prevent diseases; advances in medical technology make it possible to offer safer treatments; information technology enables education to be more accessible; and communication technology promotes global peace by improving mutual understanding among people and their participation in the democratic (民主的) process.

However, this is not to say that research whose benefits are less immediate or clear should be given a lower priority. It is difficult to predict what research will finally lead to the greatest contributions to society. Unwillingness to finance less practical scientific research could have a harmful effect on the efforts to explore new knowledge. This is particularly true of the computer science. For example, before the first computer was invented, public opinions went against it, as most people saw nothing practical in computer research. However, computers transformed the way human society developed and proved to be of great use in the long run, especially in terms of scientific development in fields such as the military, medicine, aviation, and education.

Therefore, never should we think that scientific research whose benefits are unknown is not worth undertaking since the purpose of any research should be to discover the truth, whatever it might be.

"Tell me the story of me, Momma," my daughter Sophie always asks when we sit on my grandmother's rocking chair at the end of the day. "The first time I saw your beautiful face, it was nearly covered by a blue-and-white hat. You were surrounded by a soft blue blanket (毛毯). All I could see was a rosy face." "And I looked like a tiny fairy baby?" she asks. "You did, and you weren't older than a minute," I always answer. "The nurse handed a tiny little girl to me, and I was so surprised because you felt so light. I thought if I threw off the blanket, I'd find no baby there at all, only air."

From that moment, I became a mother. But that moment was just special and magical as if she'd come from my body directly into my arms. From that day on, she was my daughter in every way that mattered.

It's easy sometimes to forget there was another mother out there with whom I share my title. Sophie's birth mother, who was also my friend, lost her life to cancer not long after giving birth to Sophie. And I'll never forget that it was her difficult decision — her tears and her pain — that made me a mom.

As my daughter grows, she will understand that sometimes life is a relay race (接力赛), and you never know who in this world will hand you your baton (接力棒). It could be someone you know for years, or it could be someone who you even never meet, someone you will never be able to repay for giving you the life you always wanted.
