This paper describes the development of two of the most important scientific disciplines in the last quarter of the 20th century, cognitive science, which emerged in 1975, and nano-bio-info-cogno (NBIC) converging technologies, which emerged in 2000. In this century, we will achieve cross-disciplinary integration, innovation in comprehensive knowledge and comprehensive devel opment in human resources. NBIC converging technologies will greatly expand human cognition and communication, improve human health, enhance social outcomes, strengthen national security and unify science and education. Cognitive science and converging technologies will have major effects on the future human development. I argue that the 21st century represents an age of synthesis, reflected in the continual reintegration between scientific disciplines in recent times. This new age of synthesis will require innovations in thought and methodology that differ from those underlying the age of analysis in the 20th century. I predict that these developments will allow every individual to realize comprehensive development. Accordingly, the education system will be transformed, and a comprehensive human resources system will be created.

《语文课程标准》要求初中生“能具体明确、文从字顺地表述自己的意思”。但每次交上来的作文,人物、事件、主题等雷同者大有人在。语文教师大伤脑筋,大声呼唤“作文要个性化”。但如何使学生的作文个性化呢?笔者认为培养学生个性化作文的能力,不可忽视语文课本。以课本为蓝本不断引导学生积累、鉴赏、运用,对学生个性化作文能力的提高大有裨益。    一、积累美文佳句,锻炼个性化的语言    “读书破万卷,下笔如有神”

考场作文要想得到理想的成绩,必须有意识地布设若干亮点,以赢得阅卷老师的赏识。如何布设亮点呢?除扣话题、合文体、重说理等之外,还要注意从以下五个方面着手。  一、标题新颖,紧扣话题,观点明确。或引用,或比喻,或对仗,或比并(用一组并列概念暗示其辩证关系,如“树木·森林·气候”),或表态(直接表明观点)。总之,要一看标题,就知道文章要阐述的观点;不要故作姿态,犹抱琵琶,不知所云,甚至概念不清,语句不通
