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.

To paraphrase 18th-century statesman Edmund Burke, "all
that is needed for the triumph of a misguided cause is that
good people do nothing." One such cause now seeks to end
biomedical research because the theory that animals have rights 【M1】__________
ruling out their usage in research. Leaders of the animal rights 【M2】__________
movement targets biomedical research because it depends on 【M3】__________
public funding, and a few people understand the process of health 【M4】 __________
care research.
Scientists must communicate their message to public in a 【M5】__________
compassionate, understandable way—on human terms, not in the 【M6】__________
language of molecular biology. We need to make it clear the 【M7】__________
connection between animal research and a grandmother's
hip replacement, a father's bypass operation, a baby's
vaccinations, and even a pet's shots. Scientists could "adopt"
middle school classes and present their own research. They
should be quick to respond to letters of the editor, lest animal 【M8】__________
rights misinformation go unchallenged and acquire a deceptive
appearance of truth. Research institutions could be opened to
tours, to show that laboratory animals receive human care. Finally, 【M9】__________
because the ultimate stakeholders are patients, the health
research community should actively recruit to its cause not
only well-known personalities such as Stephen Cooper, who
has made courageous statements about the value of animal
research, and all who receive medical treatment. If good people do 【M10】__________
nothing there is a real possibility that an uninformed citizenry will
extinguish the precious embers of medical progress.

Working-class families in the United States are usually nuclear, and
many studies indicate that working-class couples marry for love, not
for money. Upper-class couples may marry for love, but their commitment
of love is sometimes compromised by the recognition of their marriage 【M1】______
as a way to preserve their class identity. Middle-class couples may also
marry for love, but the overridden task of middle-class families is also 【M2】______
an-economic thing—to enhance the earning power of the breadwinner. 【M3】______
Of course, working-class people are also affected by the economic
realities for their families must operate like economic units as well. 【M4】______
However, the economic tasks of families are more a part of their dreams 【M5】______
about marriage than they are a part of the reality of their married life.
Indeed, to many a working-class couples, love provides a way to escape 【M6】______
from the difficulties of their parents’ home and starts their own family life. 【M7】______
Another distinctive feature of working-class families is the majority 【M8】______
of them have limited choices about the work available to them. Their
"choices' are often the "leftovers" in the job market. People from working-class
families do seek serf-esteem and personal confirmation, and they come 【M9】______
to their jobs full of hopes. However, given the way which production 【M10】______
and consumption are organized in advancing societies like the U.S.,
members of the working-class often experience exploitation in struggling
at jobs that may be less meaningful.
