醉心于古文化研究的英国历史学家汤因比曾经说过，如果可以选择出生的时代与地点，他愿意出生在公元一世纪的中国新疆，因为当时那里处于佛教文化、印度文化、希腊文化、波斯文化和中国文化等多种文化的交汇地带。

居里夫人在写给外甥女涵娜的信上说：“你写信对我说，你愿意生在一世纪以前……伊雷娜则对我肯定地说过，她宁可生得晚些，生在未来的世纪里。我以为，人们在每一个时期都可以过有趣而且有用的生活。”

上面的材料引发了你怎样的思考？你愿意出生在什么时间什么地方？请结合自己的体验与感悟，写一篇文章。要求：①自选角度，自拟标题，自定文体。②不少于800字。

Observe that for the programmer, as for the chef, the urgency of the patron(顾客)may govern the scheduled completion of the task, but it cannot govern the actual completion. An omelette(煎鸡蛋 ), promised in two minutes, may appear to be progressing nicely. But when it has not set in two minutes, the customer has two choices—waits or eats it raw. Software customers have had (16) choices.
Now I do not think software (17) have less inherent courage and firmness than chefs, nor than other engineering managers. But false (18) to match the patron’s desired date is much more common in our discipline than elsewhere in engineering. It is very (19) to make a vigorous, plausible, and job risking defense of an estimate that is derived by no quantitative method, supported by little data, and certified chiefly by the hunches of the managers.
Clearly two solutions are needed. We need to develop and publicize productivity figures, bug-incidence figures, estimating roles, and so on. The whole profession can only profit from (20) such data. Until estimating is on a sounder basis, individual managers will need to stiffen their backbones and defend their estimates with the assurance that their poor hunches are better than wish derived estimates.
