Passage Translation
Scientists are a small group of people who are striving to gain insight into nature and seek for laws in the superficial disorder. They have a special ability to think and analyze, and unlimited patience in observing and collecting date. However , not all scientific discoveries can be ascribed to abilities and patience; they usually connect closely with creative imagination. Of course, the leap of imagination is often the first step leading to discoveries. Moreover , scientists are famous for their honesty. They put a high premium on honesty, mainly because that honesty is cardinal to their career. Every theory they put forward has to be further tested. Every error and lie are sure to be found. So, if finding some evidence contradiction with their ideas, scientists modify even abandon their ideas, instead of concealing them. In this way, they accumulate an immense amount of knowledge, which can help us understand ourselves and surroundings better. U6
