Thousands of years ago, Shennong, who had an ox（牛） head and human body, lived in the south of ancient China. Seeing that local people were suffering from disease, he built ladders(梯子)and houses on a high mountain to store medical plants. To remember him, people named the place Shennongjia.
The story makes Shennongjia in Hubei an inviting place for tourists. Traveling there is a quite different experience, as you can see sceneries(风景) of the four seasons from different height.
“When the bottom of the mountain is summer, the top is spring and while the foothill is autumn, the top is covered with ice,” local people say of the special climate of Shennongjia.

There are at least two methods. Induction(归纳法)(as described by Darwin), or deduction(演绎法)(as described by Einstein). Both methods can produce amazing results. But only when you know which “direction” to go.
The steps are the same. They include:
Theory(理论)= Explaining how things work Experiment= A way to test what’s happening Observation=Something you notice
Together, these are called the scientific method.
Should you start from the “bottom” by collecting information and facts to prove and seeing where that leads you? That’s induction. Charles Darwin (1809—1882) supported this method. He spent years observing the appearance and behavior of animals in different places. From this, he created his theory of natural selection: animals and plants can change because of their environment.
Or should you start from the “top” by creating a theory and then seeing how it stands up in real life? That’s deduction. Albert Einstein (1879-1955) was king here. He began with brave ideas. These theories often took years to prove by experiment. A few of Einstein’s ideas are still being examined.
In history, scientists have been solving problems using different methods. For example, while studying bacteria(细菌)，Fleming found that something on bread could kill bacteria harmful to human health. This led him to discover a new medicine. Newton suggested that all objects attract each other. His idea was proved later.
So which way is better? That depends. Some researchers do experiments, and only later consider where their results may lead them. That’s induction. But deduction needs you to suggest a theory that may or may not be supported by the information and facts. The best scientists are always ready to change methods when necessary.
56. How many steps are there in the scientific method? A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. 57. Deduction needs you to start from the__________. A. “bottom” B. “middle” C. “top” 58. Fleming used__________ to discover a new medicine. A. induction B. deduction C. theories 59.The last paragraph(段)tells us____________. A. which way is better B. to get more facts C. to use proper methods 60. What can be the best title of the passage?
A. Deduction and induction. B. Darwin and Fleming. C. Theory and experiment. 题材：教育科学
【主旨大意】本文是一篇说明文，主要说明了归纳法与演绎法这两种不同的科学论证方法。
