We live in a society which there is a lot of talk about S1.______ science, but I would say that there are not 5 percent of the people who are equipped of schooling, including college, to S2.______ understand scientific reasoning. We are more ignorant of science as people with comparable education in Western Europe. S3.______ There are a lot of kids who know everything about computers—how to build them, how to take them apart, and how to write programs for games. So if you ask them to explain the principles of physics S4.______ that have gone into creating the computer, you don't have S5.______ the faintest idea. The failure to understand science leads to such things like the neglect of human creative power. It al- S6.______ so takes rise to blurring of the distinction between science S7.______ and technology. Lots of people don't distinguish from the two. S8.______ Science is the production of new knowledge that can be applied or not, and 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 another. S9.______ Science in itself is harmless, more or less. But as soon as it can provide technology, it is net necessarily S10.______ harmful. No society has yet learned to forecast the consequences of new technology, which can be enormous. 【S1】
