We live in a society in there is a lot of talk about 67

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 68

educations in Western Europe.

There are a lot of kids who know everything about

computers¡ªhow to build them, how to take them apart,

how to write programs for games. So if you ask them 69

to explain about the principles of physics that have gone 70

into creating the computer, you don¡¯t have the faintest idea. 71

The failure to understand science leads to such

things like the neglect of the human creative power. 72

It also takes rise to a blurring(Ä£ºý) of the distinction 73

between science and technology. Lots of people don¡¯t

differ between the two. Science is the production 74

of new knowledge that can be applied or not, since 75

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 76

consequences of new technology, which can be enormous.

Part ¢ñWritingColleges Have Opened Their Doors Wider

Colleges have opened their doors wider in recent years because the student population has increased enormously from 4 million to more than 7 million in less than six years since 1997. Is this a good thing?

Some argue that the enrollment increase will benefit individuals and the society as well. It allows more students to pursue higher educations and state loans enable children from poor families to complete their education at universities and colleges. This may in turn contribute to helping them to eliminate poverty for the society.

Others express concerns over the rapid expansion. They are afraid that some problems may arise from it, for example, the problem of employment. A lot more graduates may have great trouble in finding a job after graduation, which will lead to a social problem.

In my opinion, the former view is more reasonable. Admittedly, a rapid increase of graduates seemingly places a heavy burden on the society. However, on second thoughts,
