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.

But you will say, you need not have your name printed in the telephone directory, and you can have a telephone which is only usable for outgoing calls. Besides, you will say, isn't it important to have a telephone in case of sudden emergency--illness, accident, or fire? Of course, you are right, but here in a thickly populated country like England one is seldom far from a telephone in case of dreadful necessity.
I think perhaps I had better try to justify myself by trying to prove that what I like is good. I admit that in different circumstances--if I were a tycoon(实业界巨头) , for instance, or bed-ridden I might find a telephone essential. But then if I were a taxi-driver I should find a car essential. Let me put it another way: there are two things for which the English seem to show particular aptitude: one is mechanical invention, the other is literature. My own business happens to be with the use of words but I see I must now stop using them. For have just been handed a slip of paper to say that somebody is waiting to speak to me on the telephone. I think I had better answer it. After all, one never knows, it may be something important.
