About 100 cardiac patients signed up in the first year, followed by diabetes and obesity patients in the second. “Japanese have been getting fatter, especially men in their 20s and 30s. There is
60、 concern over what they learned about nutrition when they were younger，” the Osaka official, Satomi Onishi said. “Were hoping that this program can help us deal with the problem.” Osaka is using a system developed by Asahi Kasei Corp. The system is operating among about 150 healthcare providers and
61、local governments around the country. Nutritionists can work with photos from one days meals to several weeks worth. Results come back in three days.

91、d in pop history. In their 8year, 12album history, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr altered (改变) popular culture dramatically. And it wasnt just the suits and changing lengths of hair the four Liverpool boys wore that had such an impact, but what they seemed to stand for.
92、 The world saw them as the voice of a new generation, one with a very different attitude to life. Their influence was at its height in the 1960s, but their music continues to stir listeners today. However, up until recently one aspect of the Beatles was struck in Yesterday: The music had never been
93、remastered (重新灌录). But on September 9 that situation came to an end, with the release of the entire bands music in a digital makeover. It is probably the biggest reissue (重新发行) in pop music history, said British newspaper the Financial Times. The albums were remastered at Abbey Road Studios in Londo

The cover of their last album, Abbey Road of 1969, featured the four young men striding (大步行走) across a zebra crossing on Abbey Road itself. It is one of the most famous of all Beatles images. Recently, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of
95、the album, hundreds of Beatles lovers gathered there to show their appreciation. Pop groups come and go. The boy band pursued by screaming fans one year will be forgotten the next. But the Beatles are one of the few groups whose music seems to have endured (持久). Why? Paul McCartneys biographer Barry

They were groundbreaking in every way，” he says.40Why did the Beatles change popular culture?ABecause of the suits of the four Liver

People have generally viewed personal growth as an external (外在的) result or
193、a product that can easily be identified and measured.The worker who gets a rise, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new languageall these examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts. By contrast (对照), the process of personal growth is much more
194、difficult to determine, since it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way.The process is not the road itself, but the attitudes, feelings people have, and their caution or courage, as they meet with new experiences and unexpected difficulties.In this process, the journe
195、y never really ends；there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept. In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to face the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may “fail” at first.How we see ourse
196、lves as we try a new way of being is necessary for our ability to grow.Do we see ourselves as quick and curious?

216、l forces. Many societies believe the magic will not work unless the magician recites the spells perfectly. Other magic words have no meaning, though they supposedly possess power when spoken by a magician.Magic actions accompany the words spoken in performing much magic. Many of these movements act

In other societies, only experts practice magic. Magicians may be called medicine men, medicine women, shamans, sorcerers, or witch doctors. In man

In others, any person may become a magician by studying the magical arts.Many societies believe magicians must observe certain rules and taboos (forbidden actions) for their spells to work. For example, they may be required not to eat various foods o

224、sed.In China, although teenagers can get their ID cards at 16, many only see themselves as an adult when they are 18. In the US, where everyone drives, the main step to the freedom of adult life is learning to drive. At 16, American teens take their driving test. When they have their license, they d

226、 in the US own cars, up from 23% in 1985. Although, most of these cars are bought by parents, some teens get parttime jobs to help pay.Not all families can afford cars for their children. In cities with subways and limited parking, some teenagers dont want them. But in rich suburban areas without su
227、bways, and where bicycles are more for fun than transportation, it is strange for a teenager not to have a car.But police say 16yearolds have almost three times more accidents than 18 to 19yearolds. This has made many parents pause before letting their kids drive.Julie Sussman, of Virginia, decided
228、that her son Chad, 15, will wait until he is 17 to apply for his learners permit.Chad said he has accepted his parents decision, although it has caused some teasing from his friends. “They say that I am unlucky，” he said, “But Id rather be alive than driving, and I_dont_really_trust_my_friends_on_th

232、Dhe was afraid that his friends might well lie to himCIm usually fairly skeptical about any research that concludes that people are either happier or unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago. While any of these statements might be true, they are practically impossi
233、ble to prove scientifically. Still, I was struck by a report which concluded that todays children are significantly more anxious than children in the 1950s. In fact, the analysis showed, normal children aged 9 to 17 exhibit a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental il
234、lness 50 years ago.Why are Americas kids so stressed? The report cites two main causes: increasing physical isolation(隔离) brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, among other things and a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place.Considering that we_cant_

246、subjects, electives(选修科目) are few.Afterschool ActivitiesClub activities take place after school every day. Students can join only one club, and they rarely change clubs from year to year, so the clubs are relatively stable. Clubs are made up of sports clubs(baseball, soccer, judo, kendo, etc.) and c

On you
259、r way to a soccer game or activity, its easy to grab a cold one right out of the fridge, right? But all those plastic bottles use a lot of fossil fuels and pollute the environment. In fact, Americans buy more bottled water than any other nation in the world, adding 29 billion water bottles a year to
260、 the problem. In order to make all these bottles, manufacturers use 17 million barrels of crude oil. Thats enough oil to keep a million cars going for twelve months. Imagine a water bottle filled a quarter of the way up with oil. Thats about how much oil was needed to produce the bottle. So why dont
261、 more people drink water straight from the kitchen faucet? Some people drink bottled water because they think it is better for them than water out of the tap, but thats not true. In the United States, local governments make sure water from the faucet is safe. There is also growing concern that chemi
262、cals in the bottles themselves may leach(过滤) into the water. People love the convenience of bottled water. But maybe if they realized the problems it causes, they would try drinking from a glass at home or carrying water in a refillable steel container instead of plastic. Plastic bottle recycling ca
263、n helpinstead of going out with the trash, plastic bottles can be turned into items like carpeting or cozy fleece clothing. Unfortunately, for every six water bottles we use, only one makes it to the recycling bin. The rest are sent to landfills. Or, even worse, they end up as trash on the land and
264、in rivers, lakes, and the ocean. Plastic bottles take many hundreds of years to disintegrate. Water is good for you, so keep drinking it. But think about how often you use water bottles, and see if you can make a change. Betty McLaughlin, who runs an organization called the Container Recycling Insti
265、tute, says we should try using fewer bottles: “If you take one to school in your lunch, dont throw it awaybring it home and refill it from the tap for the next day.

283、I served them cocoa and bread to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started cooking.The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich？”“Am I rich? Pity, no
284、！”I looked at my wornout slipcovers(椅套). The girl put her cup back in its saucer(茶碟)carefully and said, “Your cups match your saucers.” They left after that, holding their papers against the wind.

Girls tend to say and do hurtful things to each other more frequently than boys, and girls are more hurt by the end of
301、a friendship.Boys are the living definition of the phrase “peer group”； they love games with rules, competition, and doing things together. Boys seem to enjoy, even need the opportunity to test themselves against others, and many lasting friendships begin in karate(空手道) class or on the basketball co

Competence and skill are widely respected; being picked last for a team or left out altogether is an experience that can haunt(萦绕心头) a boy for years.As boys mature, the friendship becomes even more important, and it frequently widens to include girls.

307、f speakers of English in Shakespeares time is estimated(估计) to have been about five million. Today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language, mainly in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. In addition to the stan
308、dard varieties of English found in these areas, there are a great many regional and social varieties of the language as well as various levels of usage that are employed both in its spoken and written forms.In fact, it is impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an
309、adequate(足够的) working knowledge of English in addition to their own languages. The purpose for English learning and the situations in which such learning takes place are so varied that it is difficult to explain and still more difficult to judge what forms an adequate working knowledge for each situ
310、ation.The main reason for the widespread demand for English is its presentday importance as a world language. Besides serving the indefinite needs of its native speakers, English is a language in which some of important works in science, technology, and other fields are being produced, and not alway
311、s by native speakers. It is widely used for such purposes as meteorological and airport communications, international conferences, and the spread of information over the radio and television networks of many nations. It is a language of wider communication for a number of developing countries, espec
312、ially former British colonies. Many of these countries have multilingual populations and need a language for internal communication in such matters as government, commerce, industry, law and education as well as for international communication and for entrance to the scientific and technological dev

EA child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in almost the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed f
317、airy stories as formal texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual situation of the time and the child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the c
318、hild by frightening him or making him sad thinking. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often sorry for cruelty than those who had not. As to fears, there are, I think, some cases of children being dangerously ter
319、rified by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises(出现) from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not ob
320、jectively true, that giants, witches, twoheaded dragons, magic carpets, etc., do not exist; and that, instead of being fond of the strange side in fairy tales, the child should be taught to learn the reality by studying history. I find such people, I must say so peculiar(奇怪的) that I do not know how
321、to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girlfriend.No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and n

326、y added to the growing body of evidence that Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep is very important to the brains ability to form strong memories.An average nights rest includes four or five spells of REM sleep, but these bursts tend to be lengthier towards the end of the night. This means adults getting
327、less than the recommended seven to eight hours a night and therefore inadequate REM sleep may be damaging their minds ability to memorize: Although REM sleep is not classified as a type of deep sleep, it is only reached after the brain has passed through deep sleep stages.In the recent study, partic

Dr Sara Mednick, a sleep researcher at the University of California who led the study, believes the formation of conn

But unlike human, plants can have their temperature taken fr
348、om 3,000 feet awaystraight up. A decade ago, adopting the infrared(红外线)scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers pre
349、cisely target pesticide(杀虫剂)spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which invariably includes plants that dont have pest problems.Even better, Paleys Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3,000 feet a
350、t night, an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by crops. The data were transformed into a colourcoded map showing where plants were running “fevers”. Farmers could then spotspray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would.The bad news is that Paleys company closed down
351、in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new technology and longterm backers were hard to find. But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce, and refinements in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt the technology works.
352、 “This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States, ” says George Oerther of Texas A & M. Ray Jackson, who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture, thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade. But only if Paley finds th

But these fearful fighting machines are about to enter Asia.The US Navy said last month that one of its nine nuclearpowered aircraft carriers will be sent to Japan to replac
357、e the diesel(柴油)powered carrier Kitty Hawk in 2008. In an agreement on October 30, the two countries also planned to level up their military (军事的) cooperation and the USA called for Japan to take a larger role in alliance military moves.It will be the first time that a nuclearpowered carrier is base
358、d in Japan. Bombed by US forces in World War at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan is the only world country to have been attacked by a nuclear weapon. Therefore, the citizens are highly sensitive to where nuclearpowered weapons are based.“A radiation leak at Yokosuka would kill 100,000 people as far awa
359、y as Tokyo, and could cause billions of dollars in damage，” said Masahiko Goto, leader of a protest group in Yokosuka. His group has collected more than 300,000 signatures of people across Japan opposed to the nuclear carrier.The 44yearold Kitty Hawk, the US Navys oldest active ship, has been based
360、in Yokosuka since 1998. It had returned to the US to be decommissioned in 2008. The new carrier, yet to be unveiled,_will travel faster, be capable of supporting longer operations and carry with it the Navys most modern technology.Experts pointed that this change is not only to strengthen the USJapa
361、n military alliance but also to keep the military power of China and North Korea within limits. However, even Japanese experts dont believe that the two countries are threats to the region.“There is no need for Japan to have a nuclear carrier as defense，” said Tetsuo Maeda, an international relation
362、s professor at Tokyo International University. He said that the change of ship indicates an increased military capability in the region, much more than what is needed.40With such a formidable weapon to enter its country, Japanese citizens _.Aare aware of its benefits to the countryBare anxious about

366、o develop hybrid vehicles (混合燃料汽车) for the Chinese market. Toyotas hybrid car Prius will be ready to drive in China this week. Lets have a look at the new car.Any vehicle is a hybrid when it combines two or more sources of power. Hybrid cars run off a rechargeable battery and gasoline. Hybrid cars h
367、ave special engines, which are smaller than traditional gasoline engines. They run at 99 percent of their power when the car is cruising (匀速行驶). A specially designed battery motor provides extra power for running up hills or when extra acceleration is needed.Step into a Prius, and turn on the engine
368、. The first thing you notice is how much quieter it is than a traditional car. At this point, the cars gasoline engine is dormant (休眠). The electric motor will provide power until the car reaches about 24 km/h. If you stay at a low speed, you are effectively driving an electric car, with no gasoline
369、 being used, and no waste gas gives off.The onboard(车载的) computer makes the decision about when to use a gas engine, when to go electric, and when to use a combination of the two. If you go over 24 km/h, when you step on the gas pedal (油门), you are actually telling the computer how fast you want to
370、go.The electronic motor recharges automatically using a set of batteries. When driving at high speed, the gasoline engine not only powers the car, but also charges the batteries. Any time you use the brake, the electric motor in the wheels will work like a generator and produce electricity to rechar
371、ge the batteries. As a consequence, the cars batteries will last for around 200,000 miles.44The author writes this passage mainly to_.Ateach people how to drive a hybrid car Bintroduce a new kind of “green” car Cshow how to save their gasoline when driving a car Dannounce plans to develop hybrid veh

374、 of hybrid cars?AThey are powered by both a rechargeable battery and gasoline.BThey are much quieter than traditional cars.CThey only use 99 percent of their power to run up hills.DThey have smaller engines than traditional gasoline ones.DAs civilization proceeds in the direction of technology, it p
375、asses the point of supplying all the basic essentials of lifefood, shelter, clothes and warmth. Then we are faced with a choice between using technology to provide and fulfill needs which have now been regarded as unnecessary or, on the other hand, using technology to reduce the number of hours of w
376、ork which a man must do in order to earn a given standard of living. In other words, we either raise our standard of living above that necessary for comfort and happiness or we leave it at this level and work shorter hours.I shall take it for granted that mankind has, by that time, chosen the latter
377、 alternative. Men will be working shorter and shorter hours in their paid employment. It follows that the housewife will also expect to be able to have more leisure in her life without lowering her standard of living. It also follows that human domestic servants will have completely ceased to exist.
378、 Yet the great majority of the housewives will wish to be relieved completely from the routine operations of the home such as scrubbing the floors or the bath of the cooker, or washing the clothes or washing up, or dusting or sweeping, or making beds.By far the most logical step to relieve the house
379、wife of routine is to provide a robot which can be trained to the requirements of a particular home and can be programmed to carry out half a dozen or more standard operations, when switched by the housewife.48As civilization develops in the direction of technology，_.Athe basic essentials of life mu

Recently he broke his 15th world record after he spent 104 days riding the worlds largest roller coaster.“It got more difficult to ride and ride because of the muscle tiredness，” Rodriguez, a teacher at the University of Chicago, said as he stepped down from

Deluca, then 17, visited Peter Buck, a famil
413、y friend. Buck asked Deluca about his plan for the future. “Im going to college, but I need a way to pay for it，” Deluca recalls saying. “Buck said, you should open a sandwich shop.”That afternoon, they agreed to be partners. And they set a goal: to open 32 stores in ten years. After doing some rese
414、arch, Buck wrote a check for $1,000. Deluca rented a storefront (店面) in Connecticut, and when they couldnt cover their startup costs, Buck kicked in another $1,000.But business didnt go smoothly as they expected. Deluca says, “After six months, we were doing poorly, but we didnt know how badly, beca
415、use we didnt have any financial controls.” All he and Buck knew was that their sales were lower than their costs.Deluca was managing the store and to the University of Bridgeport at the same time. Buck was working at his day job as a nuclear physicist in New York. Theyd meet Monday evenings and brai
416、nstorm ideas for keeping the business running. “We convinced ourselves to open a second store. We figured we could tell the public, We are so successful; we are opening a second store.” And they didin the spring of 1966. Still, it was a lot of learning by trial and error.But the partners learnasyoug
417、o approach turned out to be their greatest strength. Every Friday, Deluca would drive around and handdeliver the checks to pay their supplies. “It probably took me two and a half hours and it wasnt necessary but as a result, the suppliers got to know me very well, and the personal relationships esta
418、blished really helped out，” Deluca says.And having a goal was also important. “There are so many problems that can get you down. You just have to keep working toward your goal，” Deluca adds.Deluca ended up founding Subways Sandwich, the multimilliondollar restaurant chain. 36.Deluca opened the first
419、 sandwich shop in order to _.Asupport his familyBpay for his college education Chelp his partner expand businessDdo some research 37Which of the following is true of Buck? AHe put money into the sandwich business. BHe was a professor of business administration. CHe was studying at the University of
420、Bridgeport. DHe rented a storefront for Deluca. 38What can we learn about their first shop? AIt stood at an unfavorable place. BIt lowered the prices to poor management. CIt made no profits due to poor management. DIt lacked control over the quality of sandwich. 39They decided to open a second store
421、 because they _. Ahad enough money to do it Bhad succeeded in their business Cwished to meet the increasing demand of customers Dwanted to make believe(假装)that they were successful BI heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought t
422、o be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are cl
423、utching (紧握) at one anothers hands for reassurance.They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up huddled (聚在一起) round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thusands
424、uch a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (蚕茧) into a larger_cocoon.It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can le
425、arn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of todays parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path i
426、s worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you dont care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularit
427、y will comewith the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts.40In this passage, the author wants to tell _.Ateenagers to try to pursue their real selvesBreaders to try to be popular with people aroundCparents to try to control and guide their chi
428、ldrenDpeople to try to understand and respect each other41The author disapproves of rebelling teenagers _.Agrowing away from their parentsBfollowing the popularity trend Cwalking a new way on their ownDturning to their friends for help42The phrase “larger cocoon” at the end of the second paragraph r
429、efers to _.Athe distractive and variable societyBthe dazzling music worldCthe parental care and loveDthe popularity wave in the society 43What does the author think of advertisements?AConvincing. BInstructive.CInfluential. DAuthoritative.CBeauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy.Alm
430、ost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier，have better marriages and have more respectable occupations.Personal consultants give them better advice for finding jobs.Even judges are softer on attractive defendants(被告)But in the executive circle，beauty can become a liability.While
431、 attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder，it is harmful to a woman.Handsome male executives were thought as having more integrity than plainer men；effort and ability were thought to account for their success.Attractive female executives were considered to have
432、 less integrity than unattractive ones；their success was attributed not to ability but to factors such as luck.All unattractive women executives were thought to have more integrity and to be more capable than the attractive female executives.Interestingly，though，the rise of the unattractive overnigh
433、t successes was attributed more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of attractive overnight successes.Why are attractive women not thought to be able？An attractive woman is thought to be more feminine and an attractive man more masculine(有男子气概的)than the less attractive ones.Thus，
434、an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs，but an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine position appears to lack the“masculine”qualities required.This is true even in politics.“When the only clue is how he or she looks，people treat men and women differently，”says Anne
435、Bowman，who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates.She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs，one of men and one of women，in order of attractiveness.The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices
436、.They were asked to rank them again，in the order they would vote for them.The results showed that attractive males utterly defeated unattractive men，but the women who had been ranked most attractive invariably received the fewest votes.44The underlined word “liability”(in Para.1)most probably means

455、eated to bring attention to the growing number of sleep problems worldwide. Sleep is a natural part of human life, but many people in the modern world ignore its importance. As a result, sleep problems are increasingly common. In 2002, scientists at the University of Athens in Greece conducted a sur
456、vey of over 35,000 people in 10 countries around the world, including China, Belgium and South Africa. Of the people that responded to the survey, 24 percent said that they did not sleep well, and based on their responses, 31.6 percent were diagnosed with insomnia (失眠) and another 17.5 percent were
457、diagnosed with borderline insomnia. In addition, 30.7 percent of survey respondents reported visiting a doctor for help with sleep problems and 11.6 percent said that they felt very sleepy during the day. Overall, the survey found that many people suffer from the effects of poor quality sleep, some
458、examples of which are being unable to fall asleep and waking up in the middle of the night. The main factors causing these problems are pressure from school or work and a fast pace of life, but noise pollution and light pollution also interfere with sleep and contribute to poor quality sleep. The su
459、rveys findings are particularly troubling because large numbers of people were found to have difficulty sleeping at night. The shortterm effects of this are tiredness and trouble concentrating. If this happens for a long time, the risk of gaining weight and having a heart attack may increase. There
460、are many things you can do to improve the quality of your sleep. First, you should have regular sleep habits. Try to go to bed and wake up around the same time each day. You also need to make your bedroom a cool, dark, quiet place to sleep so that heat, light and noise do not disturb you. At night,
461、you should also avoid things that contain caffeine, such as chocolate, coffee, tea and many soft drinks, as caffeine may keep you from sleeping. Getting a good nights sleep is important for everyone. By following the advice above, you can rest better at night and work better during the day.Title: Ce

However, its definition is difficult for many people. The meaning of the term is confusing,
522、 but everyone should understand its meaning and objectives (目标). Just to make the explanation as simple as possible, suppose science is defined as classified knowledge or facts. Even in the true science, distinguishing fact from fiction is not always easy. For this reason great care should be taken
523、to distinguish between beliefs and truths. There is no danger as long as a clear difference is made between temporary and proved explanations. For example, hypotheses(假设) and theories are attempts to explain natural phenomena. From these positions the scientist continues to experiment and observe un
524、til they are proved or discredited. The exact status of any explanation should be clearly labeled to avoid confusion. The objectives of science are primarily the discovery and later the understanding of the unknown. Man cannot be satisfied with recognizing that secrets existing in nature of those qu
525、estions are unanswerable; he must solve them. Toward that end, specialists in the field of biology and related fields of interest are directing much of their time and energy. Actually, two basic approaches lead to the discovery of new information. One, aimed at satisfying curiosity, is referred to a
526、s pure science. Sometimes practicalminded people miss the point of pure science in thinking only of its immediate application for economic rewards. However, one should remember that the construction of the microscope had to come before the discovery of the cell. The scientists devoting their lives t
527、o pure science are not apologetic about ignoring the practical side of their discoveries; they know from experience that most knowledge is eventually applied. The other is aimed at using knowledge for specific purposesfor instance, improving health, raising standards of living, or creating new consu
528、mer products. In this case knowledge is put to economic use. Such an approach is referred to as applied science.The 56._ of science57._ of science To define science, we may 58._ call it classified knowledge or facts.
