a. The week before that day I'd seen in a news report that scientists had found a cave which was two
thousand years old.
b. When we arrived, it seemed that no one was there and we would not be disturbed.
c. Jimmy and Sarah brought torches and ropes in case the entrance of the cave would be slightly down
the cliff.
d. It was an early foggy morning when my friends and I decided to go on an adventure.
e. We all met at my house before dawn and rode towards the cave, which was 5 miles away.
f. Not waiting any longer, I grabbed the rope and was already reaching to the cave, when somebody
screamed…
g. We thought it would be cool to go down there and see what was inside.
h. As it turned out, Sarah and Jimmy were afraid of height and they decided to wait for me near the
tree.
i. The entrance of the cave was almost four feet below the cliff so the only chance we had was to
tighten the rope around the nearest tree and get down.

Science has invented a lot of interesting and useful. From biomaterials to artificial hands. From artificial kidneys to contact lenses that train the eye muscles night. From high-speed aircraft to high-speed trains that save time. From digital libraries, online universities and courses to advanced settings deep drilling of earth's crust. Modern technology should serve mankind, to help him to reach even greater heights.

However, not all technologies are for the benefit of man. Often the opposite is true. For example, modern weapons are capable of destroying both nature and human life in frightening proportions. Industry smokes, smokes, dumps toxic waste into the water intrudes into the earth's depths in search of resources. And plastic waste has already become a byword, they do not decompose naturally and are laid in nature for a long time. The Pacific already located a new "continent" of floating debris.

Now before modern technology, the challenge is to find effective ways of cleansing the environment, recycling. We also need to develop alternative sources of energy because oil, gas and coal are exhaustible in the world. But they built the world economy. Soon still have to find a replacement.

Technology created by talented people can benefit, and may harm. Depending on how to use them. With a smartphone, for example, you can breed gossip. You can not get out days of computer shooters. Each technology should be used wisely and understanding its present use.
