why almost every big city has their own airport, which is vital in the development of 
logistics. 
Airplanes can also enable us to have a comfortable journey. So, tourists often take air 
flight when traveling rather than other kind of transports.
For the above reasons, we can conclude that airplanes are surely the most influential 
transports that bring people a lot of convenience.

 
39) Do you agree or disagree that progress is always good? Use specific reasons and 
examples to support your answer. 
 
(a) The important difference of mankind from other animals or living things is the ongoing 
progress it enjoys. The progress in science and art enables humankind to harness natural 
forces to the benefit of its life and build civilizations. In the past, when the progress led to 
an invention that will posed any threat on the humanity, the humans was aware of the harm 
and evaded it and tried to use the invention to the benefit of the humanity. I believe that 
the progress is inevitable for the humankind and that even the slowing of this progress may 
lead to the vanishing of the human being voracious to consume more. 
In the absence of progress in fields of science, and art, and philosophy we would live like 
animals without growing crops, feeding animals and establishing cities. In the past, a lot of 
species once began to exist then vanished as they could not accommodate themselves to 
the changing living conditions or could not control the environment that they lived in. I 
believe that the human being is able to change his or herself to changing conditions and 
control the environment. The progress enjoyed in almost all fields contributed to this 
ability. 
I admit that the progress in certain field may harm the humanity. The progress in atom 
physics brought about the atom bomb. Having acknowledged the harm of atom bomb in 
the second-world war, the humankind has never resorted to it since then. But the progress 
in atom physics also brought about the nuclear energy and a lot inventions in medicine 
which a lot cancer patients used them to defeat the cancer. These treatments are still used 
and the progress in this field is still serving to the humankind. 
Some people may put the blame on the progress for the pollution and the denigration of 
forests. But I think it is more about insatiable demand of the human being. I rather believe 
that the progress in technology and science will prevent the world from being polluted and 
will bring about a more green world. 
To sum up, the progress is inevitable process that makes the humankind different from 
other beings. Without progress, that makes up for ever increasing human needs, the
