We live in a society in there is a lot of talk about 62. ______ 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 63. ______ educations in Western Europe. There are a lot of kids who know everything about computers--how to build them, how to take them apart, how to write programs for games. So if you ask them 64. ______ to explain about the principles of physics that have gone 65. ______ into creating the computer, you don’t have the faintest idea. 66. ______ The failure to understand science leads to such things like the neglect of the human creative power. 67. ______ It also takes rise to a blurring (模糊) of the distinction 68. ______ between science and technology. Lots of people don’t differ between the two. Science is the production 69. ______ of new knowledge that can be applied or not, since 70. ______ 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 71. ______ consequences of new technology, which can be enormous.
