We live in a society in there is a lot of talk about 【M1】______

science, but I would say that there are not 5 percent of

the people who are equipped with schooling, including

college, to understand scientific reasoning. We are

more ignorant of science as people with comparable 【M2】______

educations in Western Europe.

There are a lot of kids who know everything about

Computers who to build them, how to take them apart,

how to write programs for games. So if you ask them 【M3】______

to explain about the principles of physics that have gone 【M4】______

into creating the computer, you don't have the faintest idea. 【M5】______

The failure to understand science leads to such

things like the neglect of the human creative power. 【M6】______

It also takes rise to a blurring(模糊) of the distinction 【M7】______

between science and technology. Lots of people don't

differ between the two. Science is the production 【M8】______

of new knowledge that can be applied or not, since 【M9】______

technology is the application of knowledge to the

production of some products, machinery or the like.

The two are really very different, and people who have

the faculty for one very seldom have a faculty for the other.

Science in itself is harmless, more or less. But as

soon as it can provide technology, it is not necessarily

harmful. No society has yet learned how to forecast the 【M10】______

consequences of new technology, which can be enormous.
