There is a difference between science and technology. Science is a method of answering theoretical questions: technology is a matter of solving practical problems. Science has to do with discovering the facts and relationships between observable phenomena in nature and with
establishing theories that serve to organize these facts and relationships; technology has to do with tools, techniques, and procedures for implementing the findings of science. Another distinction between science and technology has to do with the progress in each.
Progress in science excludes the human factor. Scientists, who seek to comprehend the
universe and know the truth within the highest degree of accuracy and certainty, cannot pay heed to their own or other people's likes and dislikes or to popular ideas about the fitness of things. What scientists discover may shock or anger people -- as did Darwin's theory of evolution. But even an unpleasant truth is more than likely to be useful; besides, we have the option of refusing it! But hardly so with technology: we do not have the option of refusing to hear the sonic boom produced by a supersonic aircraft flying overhead; we do not have the option of refusing to breathe polluted air. Unlike science, progress in technology must be measured in terms of the human factor. Technology must be our slave and not the reverse. The legitimate purpose of
technology is to serve people -- people in general, not merely some people: and future generations, not merely those who presently wish to gain advantage for themselves.
We are all familiar with the abuses of technology. Many people blame technology itself for widespread pollution, resource depletion and even social decay in general -- so much so that the promise of technology is obscured. That promise is a cleaner and healthier world. If wise application of science and technology do not lead to a better world, what else will? 61. The difference between science and technology lies in that _________.
A. the former seeks to comprehend the universe while the latter helps change the material world B. the former provides answers to theoretical questions while the latter, to practical problems C. all of the mentioned
D. the former aims to discover the interconnections of facts and the rules that explain them while the

文章前两段重点说明科学和技术之间的众多区别，第三段谈到人们对技术应用的片面理解，并提出科学和技术对于人类发展的巨大作用，即它们是使我们走上未来美好道路的力量。 Fried foods have long been frowned upon. Nevertheless, the frying pan is about our handiest and most useful piece of kitchen equipment. People engaged in active labor requiring 4,000
calories per day or more will take approximately one-third of their rations prepared in this fashion. Meat, eggs, and French toast cooked in this way are served in millions of homes daily. Apparently the consumers are not beset with more signs of indigestion than afflict those who insist upon broiling, roasting, or boiling. Some years ago one of our most eminent physiologists investigated the digestibility of fried potatoes. He found that the pan variety was more easily broken down for assimilation than when deep fat was employed. The latter, however, dissolved within the alimentary tract more readily than the boiled type. Furthermore, he learned, by watching the progress of the contents of the stomach by means of the fluoroscope, that fat actually accelerated the rate of digestion. Now all this is quite in contrast with \on nutrition, and everywhere the dictum has been accepted -- no fried edibles of any sort for children. A few will go so far as to forbid this style of cooking wholly. Now and then an expert will be bold enough to admit that he uses them himself, the absence of discomfort being explained on the ground that he possesses a powerful gastric apparatus. We can of course sizzle perfectly good articles to death so that they will be leathery and tough. But thorough heating, in the
presence of shortening, is not the awful crime that it has been labeled. Such dishes stimulate rather than retard contractions of the gall bladder. Thus it is that bile mixes with the nutriment shortly after it leaves the stomach. We don’t need to allow our foodstuffs to become oil soaked, but other than that, there seems to be no basis for the widely heralded prohibition against this method. But notions become fixed. The first condemnation probably arose because an” oracle\dyspepsia which he ascribed to some fried item on the menu. The theory spread. Others agreed with him, and after a time the doctrine became incorporated in our textbooks. The belief is now tradition rather than proved fact. It should have been refuted long since, as experience has demonstrated its falsity.

Americans today don't place a very high value on intellect. Our heroes are athletes, entertainers, and entrepreneurs, not scholars. Even our schools are where we send our children to get a
practical education -- not to pursue knowledge for the sake of knowledge. Symptoms of pervasive anti-intellectualism in our schools aren't difficult to find.
\says education writer Diane Ravitch. \Left Back A Century of Failed School Reforms, traces the roots of anti-intellectualism in our schools, concluding they are anything but a counterbalance to the American distaste for
intellectual pursuits. But they could and should be. Encouraging kids to reject the life of the mind leaves them vulnerable to exploitation and control. Without the ability to think critically, to defend their ideas and understand the ideas of others, they cannot fully participate in our
democracy. Continuing along this path, says writer Earl Shorris, \country. We will have a less civil society. \
\Hofstadter in Anti-Intellectualism in American life, a Pulitzer Prize winning book on the roots of anti-intellectualism in US politics, religion, and education. From the beginning of our history, says Hofstadter, our democratic and populist urges have driven us to reject anything that smells of elitism. Practicality, common sense, and native intelligence have been considered more noble qualities than anything you could learn from a book.
Ralph Waldo Emerson and other Transcendentalist philosophers thought schooling and
rigorous book learning put unnatural restraints on children. \recitations rooms for 10 or 15 years and come out at last with a bellyful of words and do not know a thing.\avoids being civilized -- going to school and learning to read – so he can preserve his innate goodness.
Intellect, according to Hofstadter, is different from native intelligence, a quality we reluctantly admire. Intellect is the critical, creative, and contemplative side of the mind. Intelligence seeks to grasp, manipulate, re-order, and adjust, while intellect examines, ponders, wonders, theorizes, criticizes and imagines. School remains a place where intellect is mistrusted. Hofstadter says our country's educational system is in the grips of people who \hostility to intellect and their eagerness to identify with children who show the least intellectual promise.
