题目内容
I love science and science fiction. Like many science fiction fans, I am fascinated by the possibility of time travel. However, one must combine romance with reasoning and look into the chances of time travel critically.
First of all, we must remember the whole universe is in motion. If we want to go back to yesterday, our "time machine" has to move back in time and space. If someone claimed he was at home when he suddenly travelled 200 years back in time, he either had an illusion or made the story up. Two hundred years ago, Earth was in a different place in space, so how can you travel back 200 years without moving in space? Don't get me wrong. I am not knocking the genius of science fiction writers. H.G. Wells's "The Time Machine" is a great work of fiction, but that’s all. I have read many other time travelling science fiction stories since reading H.G. Wells, but none address this problem of displacement.
My own argument for the im
p
ossibility of time travel is that physical states of the past no longer exist and those of the future are not here yet. To be able to move back and forth in time requires everything that has happened, is happening, and will happen everywhere in the whole universe at every single moment in time－past, present, and future－to be stored as a "reality" somewhere－like the save game file of a computer game that contains every single byte of information of the game at the point it was saved, but you would need an almost extremely large file and almost extremely many of them－so it can be re-entered and communicated with, and not just light signals for viewing. To me, I don’t buy it.

解析
After 21 years of marriage，my wife wanted me to take another woman，my widowed mother, out to dinner and a movie．Due to the 31 of my work and my three children，I visited her only 32 ．That night I called inviting her to go out．Though a bit 33 ，she accepted it happily．
That Friday after work，I drove over to 34 her up．On reaching her house，I noticed that she seemed to be nervous about our 35 ．Wearing the dress she had worn to 36 her last wedding anniversary，she smiled like an angel．
We went to a 37 that，although not elegant，was very comfortable．After we sat down，I 38 my eyes and saw Mom sitting there staring at me．A smile was on her lips．“I used to have to 39 the menu when you were smal1，”she said．“Then it’s time you relaxed and let me return the 40 ，”I responded．During the dinner，we had such a 41 conversation-all about each other’s life—that we 42 the movie．When back home, she said, “Pity we didn’t see the film．Yet I’ll go out with you again, but only if you let me 43 you．” I agreed．
A few days later，Mother died of a massive heart attack．It 44 so suddenly that I had no 45 to do anything for her．some time later，I 46 an envelope of a copy of a restaurant receipt from where mother and I had 47 ．An attached note said，“I paid this 48 in advance．I wasn‘t sure whether I could be there；but nevertheless，I paid for two—one for you and the other for your wife．You’ll never know 49 that night meant for me．I love you, son．”
At that moment．I understood the importance of giving our loved ones the time they 50 because these things can never be put off till “some other time”．
