24、 the man or woman who studies and applies physics, biology, chemistry, geology, engineering, medicine or any other science? We all know that science plays an important role in our societies. However, many people believe that our progress depends on two different aspects of science. The first aspect
25、is the application of the machines, products and systems of knowledge that scientists and technologists develop. The second is the application of the special methods of thought and action that scientists use in their work. What are these special methods of thinking and acting? First of all, it seems
26、 that a successful scientist is curious - he wants to find out how and why the universe works. He usually pays attention to problems which he notices have n o satisfying explanation, and looks for relationships even if the data available seem to be unconnected. Moreover, he thinks he can improve the
27、 existing conditions and enjoys trying to solve the problems which this involves. He is a good observer, accurate, patient and objective and uses the facts he observes to the fullest. For example, trained observers obtain a very large amount of information about a star mainly from the accurate analy
28、sis of the simple lines that appear in a spectrum( ). He does not accept statements which are not based on the most complete evidence available. He rejects authority as the only basis for truth. Scientists always check statements and make experiments carefully and ob jectively. Furthermore, he does
29、not readily accept his own idea, since he knows that man is the least reliable of scientific instruments and that a number of factors tend to disturb objective investigation. Lastly, he is full of imagination since he often has to look for relationships in data which are not only complex but also fr
30、equently incomplete. Furthermore, he needs imagination if he wants to guess how processes work and how events take place. T hese seem to be some of the ways in which a successful scientist or technologist thinks and acts. 43. Which of the following statements about a curious scientist is TRUE? nfide
31、nce and pleasure in work. B. He is interested in problems that are explained. C. He makes efforts to investigate potential connections. D. He looks for new ways of acting. 44. According to the passage, a successful scientist would NOT_. A. easily believe in unchecked statements. B. easily criticize
32、others research work. C. always use his imagination in work. D. always use evidence from observation. 45. Which word can be used to describe the data that a good scientist uses? A. complete B. concrete C. complicated D. confusing 46. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. Application of technology
33、. B. Progress in modern society. C. Successful scientists ways of thinking and acting. D. How to become a successful scientist. C What does it mean to say that we live in a world of persuasion? It means that we live among competing ) over pizza. Your instructor may have good reasons not to change yo
34、ur grade. In such a world, persuasion is the art of getting others to give fair and favorable consideration to our points of view. When we persuade, we want to influence how others believe and behave. We may not always prevail other points of view may be more persuasive, depending on the listener, t
35、he situation, and the merit of the case. But when we practice the art of persuasion, we try to ensure that our position receives the attention it deserves. :Zxxk.Com Some people, however, object to the very idea of persuasion. They may regard it as an unwelcome interruption into their lives. Just th
36、e opposite, we believe that persuasion is unavoidable to live is to persuade. Persuasion may be ethical ( ) or unethical, selfless or selfish, inspiring or degrading.
