It is hard to predict how science is going to turn out , and if it is really good science, it is impossible to predict. If the things to be found are actually new, they must be unknown in advance You cannot make choices on this matter. You either have science or you don't and if you have it you have to accept the surprising and disturbing pieces of information, along with the neat and useful bits.
The only solid piece of scientific truth about which I feel totally confident is that we don’t know enough about nature. Indeed, I regard this as the major discovery of the past hundred years of biology. It is, in its way, a clear piece of news. It would have amazed the brightest minds of the 18th century to be told by any of us how little we know and how strange seems the way ahead . In earlier times, they either pretended to understand how things worked or simply made up stones to give answers. Now that we have begun exploring seriously, we are catching sight of how huge the questions are, and how far from being answered. Because of this, we are sorry. It is not so bad being ignorant if you are totally ignorant; the hard thing is knowing in some detail the reality of ignorance, the worst spots and here and there the not-so-bad spots, but no true light at the end of the tunnel nor even any tunnels that can yet be trusted.
But we are making a beginning, and there ought to he some satisfaction. There are probably no questions we can think up that can’t he answered, sooner or later. Within our limits, we should be able to work our way through to all our answers, if we keep at it long enough, arid pay attention.
51. According to the writer, really good science_____________.
A. would surprise the brightest minds of the 18th century. B. will help people to make the right choice in advance. C. will produced results which can be predicted D. will bring about disturbing results

A. thought that they knew a great deal and could deal with most problems of science B. knew that they were ignorant and wanted to know more about nature C. were afraid of facing up to the realities of scientific research. D. did more harm than good in man’s understanding nature
53 .Which of he following is NOT mentioned about scientists in earlier times?
A. They falsely declared to know all about nature.
B. They did not believe in results from scientific observation.
C. They paid little attention to the problems they didn’t understand. D. They invented false rules to explain things they didn’t understand. 54.What is the writer’s attitude towards science?

Luck or hard work
Is it luck or hard work that brings success? The answer is “hard work”. One’s efforts bring him success and not his luck. It is said, “Triumphs don’t come without effort.”
Luck favors only those who help themselves. The harder you work, the luckier you get. A man works day and night giving up all his play and delight and moves ahead to earn success and when he earned it people called it luck. This excellence is in fact not luck, but result of a lot of hard work. Any idea cannot become a success unless we work hard on it.
Today we are leading a happy and comfortable life due to hard work of someone else. We have bulbs to remove the darkness in a room; this was possible by hard work of Edison. We chat over phone with our friends, enjoying which has resulted by the hard work put in by Alexander Graham Bell.
