In May this year,as part of our 150th anniversary,we asked readers aged between 18 and 25 to
enter an essay competition.The task was to tell us,in no more than 1,000 words,what scientific
advance they would most like to see in their lifetimes,and why it mattered to them.
The response was phenomenal:we received 661 entries.Some entrants hoped that science would
make their lifetimes much longer than they can currently expect.Many looked forward to work that
will end climate change.Others wanted to see advances in our understanding of human history,crop
growth,space exploration,and medical technologies.The ideas were inspiring.
The winner is a compelling essay by Yasmin Ali,a PhD student at the University of
Nottingham,UK.Ali submitted a piece on Beethoven,her brother's hearing loss and the science
which she hoped would one day cure it.It stood out to the judges as a reminder of why many
scientists do research:to make the world better tomorrow than it is today.
All essays were judged by a group of Nature editors.The top ten submissions were then ranked
by three members of a separate judging group:Magdalena Skipper,editor-in-chief of Nature;Faith Osier,
a researcher;and Jess Wade,a physicist.All submissions were kept anonymous throughout the process.
We also selected two runners-up(非冠军的获奖者).Physicist Robert Schittko at Harvard
University in Cambridge,Massachusetts,proposes that nuclear fusion (could offer a
solution to the climate crisis,in a piece that effortlessly mixes grand ambition with gentle humour.
And chemist Matthew Zajac at the University of Chicago in Illinois wrote a powerful personal account
of why he wants to see advances in the field of same-sex reproduction.
The results show that today's young scientists have a wealth of ideas,talent and conviction that
research can transform their world.We look forward to seeing what they do next.

A.The scientific expectation
B.The fantastic scientific ideas.

With over 4.1 billion people,or around 55 percent of the world's population,living in urban
areas,cities and towns worldwide are getting increasingly jammed.In addition to spending hours
stuck in traffic,residents are also exposed to high air pollution levels caused by transportation
emissions(排放).Now,Saudi Arabia hopes to overturn urban living with“The Line”一a futuristic
city designed around nature,without cars,roads and crowded places!
The totally different city,announced on January 10,2021,is the brainchild of Saudi Crown
Prince()Mohammed bin Salman MBS).Located in Neom,a 10,000-square-mile high-tech
planned development on the Red Sea coast.The Line will be the base of MBS's Saudi Vision 2030.
The strategic plan aims to diversify Saudi Arabia's oil-dependent economy into other fields,like
tourism,and create exciting job opportunities for its citizens.
The 105-mile-long city,expected to cost between 100 billion and 200 billion,will be built
along a straight line and comprise several self-sustaining communities.To ensure all services are
within a short,five-minute walk,each community will feature a three-layer infrastructure().
There will be no cars or roads on the top "pedestrian layer",so residents can freely walk and
bike in the surrounding green spaces.The second "service layer",will include all essential daily
services,such as schools,medical clinics,leisure facilities,and grocery stores.The third "spine
layer"will house ultra-high-speed transportation and autonomous vehicles transporting residents
across communities in less than 20 minutes.The entire city will be powered with renewable clean
energy sources such as solar and wind,and possibly even hydrogen.
If all goes according to the plan,construction of this groundbreaking,complex infrastructure
project would start before the end of 2021.In addition to providing up to a million residents with a
clean and stress-free living environment,The Line is expected to create 380,000 new jobs,promote
economic diversification,and contribute a shocking $48 billion to Saudi Arabia's Gross Domestic
Product(GDP)by 2030.More importantly,MBS believes it will provide governments worldwide a
blueprint for how people and planet can co-exist in harmony.

第二节
One possible version:
Soon,it was my turn to talk.Facing the crowd,I found
myself suffering from stage fright.I spoke in an expressionless
voice and even stuttered a few times as I forgot parts of the story.
My legs trembled and so did my voice.On seeing my terrible
performance,the judges shook their heads.The supporters from
my school looked at me in disappointment.I had never been so
embarrassed in my life.In the end,I walked off the stage,my
eyes filled with tears.
Finally,results were announced after the contest.I didn't
win any prizes-not even a consolation one.It was not surprising
at all.I felt ashamed when I faced my classmates and of course,
Ms.Sara.I regretted underestimating my opponents and overestimating
myself.My vanity had cost me the championship.I regretted being
so arrogant.I learned my lesson well and finally understood the
meaning of the two sayings,"Pride goes before a fall."and
“Practice makes perfect..”
