Today, I notice that we continue to be fascinated with the way children see things and the associations that they make. Even their "mistakes" are attractive because they come from a very pure place. Yet, at a certain age, the promotion of the creative impulse stops. Once a child begins going to school, societal pressures start to take hold; acting a little "different" becomes a problem, and children are pressured to conform. When I was six years old, I was hit on the left hand with a ruler for trying to write with it. Now, though it happens in more subtle ways, society still discourages children's impulses to think, write, draw, sing, or behave in ways that . Hyperactivity is punished or, worse yet, medicated. It is no surprise that we grow up afraid to differ, and afraid to express our true selves.

①conform to social norms

②restrict creative potential

③are based on usual stereotypes

④give in the inner compulsion

move away from the standard

The purpose of research in science is to bring a higher level of confidence and certainty to our understanding than is possible by belief, faith, or reason alone. Science therefore requires a highly critical attitude. The scientist must be a skeptic who has to be shown, a doubter who must be convinced, a cynic who believes that people may wittingly or unwittingly deceive or misunderstand one another. Research must be designed so that it is tight and its conclusions compelling. Conversely, if an investigation is flawed such that the results are open to plausible alternative interpretations, the findings . It is the researcher's responsibility to eliminate or rule out all plausible alternative explanations and to recognize and point out when others have failed to be entirely convincing ,rather than generously to overlook logical weaknesses because "they probably don't matter".

①may be hard to understand

②can be replaced with alternatives

③would be accepted only in part

cannot be admitted as evidence

⑤need to be explained more clearly

When was the last time you were bewildered? The very fact that bewilderment is such a rare condition for most of us, despite the complexity of our lives, is a clear indication that the theory of the world in our heads is at least as complex as the world we perceive around us. The reason we are usually not aware of the theory is simply that it . Just as a fish takes water for granted until deprived of it, so we become aware of our dependence on a theory to make sense of the world only when the theory proves inadequate, when the world fails to make sense. When were you last bewildered by something that you heard or read? Our theory of the world seems ready to make sense of almost everything we are likely to experience in spoken and written language.

① is so complex

works so well

③ is very bewildering

④ doesn't make sense

⑤ is beyond our ability
