educated people need at least some knowledge with its structure and operation. they should also have an understanding of the scientific subculture in which scientists live and the kinds of people they are. an understanding of general characteristics of science as well as specific scientific ideas is easier to obtain if one knows something about the things that excite and discourage the scientist. this book is written for the person whose knowledge with science is not complete; for the person who has been presented with science as a musty（发霉的）storehouse of dried facts; for the person who sees the chief objective of science as the production of tricks; and for the person who views the scientists as some sort of magician. the book can be used to add to a course in any science, to come with any course that attempts to give an understanding of the modern world, or simply to provide a better understanding of science. we hope this book will lead readers to a broader view on scientific attitudes and a more realistic view of what science is, who scientists are, and what they do. it will give them an idea and understanding of the relationship between science and our culture and an appreciation of the roles science may play in our culture. besides, readers may learn to appreciate the relationship between scientific views and some of the values and philosophies that are deep in our culture.we have also tried to make the book entertaining as well as informative. our method is usually informal. we feel, as do many other scientists, that we shouldnt take ourselves too seriously. as the reader may observe, we see science as a delightful pastime rather than as a cruel and unpleasant way to earn a living.56. we need to know something about science because _.a.

handbag. even as he continued on his way, he turned back and said “sorry” to me. even in a rush, he didnt forget to apologize. one day, after i bought some oranges, the salesman was giving me the change, but i wasnt ready for it and a coin dropped on the ground. “im sorry,” he said while bending down to pick it up. i was puzzledwhy would he apologize when it was my fault? another time, i stepped on a mans foot in an escalator, at the same time, we both said “sorry”. i thought it interesting, was it really necessary for him to apologize? 高二英语，共（10）页 第7页later on, an american friend explained to me that according to the american ideas, the escalator is a public place, and everyone should be able to stand in. after someone occupies a position in the elevator, making it difficult for someone else to find a place to stand, isnt it necessary to express an apology? during my stay in america, i often came across situations in which i was supposed to say “sorry”. gradually, i realized that when friction(摩擦) occurs in daily life, americans dont care much about who is responsible; if someone is troubled, a “sorry” is always necessary. when this happens, even if the other person is hurt, the “sorry” cools tempers and human generosity is displayed. perhaps this is why i never saw anyone quarreling on the buses, subways or streets of america.68. when i was walking in the

tell us that there are four basic stages that human beings pass through when they enter and live in a new culture. this process，which helps us to deal with culture shock，is the way our brain and our personality react to the strange new things we encounter when we move from one culture to another.culture begins with the “honeymoon stage”.71._.we are excited to be in the new environment，seeing new sights，hearing new sounds and language，eating new kinds of food.72._.73_.after we have settled down into our new life，we can become very tired and begin to miss our homeland and our family，friends，pets. all the little problems in life seem to be much bigger and more disturbing when you face them in a foreign culture. this period of cultural adjustment can be very difficult and lead to the new arrival rejecting or pulling away from the new culture.高二英语，共（10）页 第8页the third stage is called the “adjustment stage”.74._.your sense of humor usually becomes stronger and you realize
