During their lifetimes it will affect them more and more. In time ，many of them will work at jobs that depend heavily on science. As voters，they will have a voice in making many decisions that involve science—for example ， concerning energy sources ， pollution control ， highway safety ， wilderness conservation，and population growth. As taxpayers they will pay for scientific research and exploration. And，as consumers，they will be bombarded（受到 轰击）by advertising，much of which is said to be based on science. Therefore ， it is important that children ， the citizens of the future ， become functionally acquainted with science—with the process and spirit of science ， as well as with its facts and principles. Fortunately ， science has a natural appeal for youngsters. They can relate it to so many things that they encounter—flashlights，tools，echoes，and rainbows. Besides，science is an excellent medium for teaching far more than content. It can help pupils learn to think logically，to organize and analyse ideas. It can provide practice in communication skills and mathematics. In fact，there is no area of the curriculum to which science cannot contribute ， whether it is geography，history，language arts，music or art！ Above all ， good science teaching leads to what might be called a“scientific attitude”.Those who possess it seek answers through observing，experimenting，and reasoning，rather than blindly accepting the pronouncements of others. They weigh evidence carefully and reach conclusions with caution. While respecting the opinions of others，they expect honesty ， accuracy ， and objectivity are on guard against hasty judgments and sweeping generalizations. All children should be developing this approach to solving problems ，but it cannot be expected to appear automatically with the mere acquisition of information. Continual practice ， through guided participation，is needed. 36. One of the reasons why science is important for children is that many of them will . A. work in scientific research institutions B. work at jobs closely related to science C. make the final decision in matters concerning science D. be fund-raisers for scientific research and exploration 37. There is no doubt that children like learning science because . A. science is linked with many of the things they meet B. science is a very easy subject for them to learn C. they encounter the facts and principles of science daily D. they are familiar with the process and spirit of science 38. Pupils can learn logical thinking while . A. practicing communication skills B. studying geography C. taking art courses D. learning science 39. People with a scientific attitude . A. are ready to accept the pronouncements of others B. tend to reach conclusions with certainty C. are aware that others are likely to make hasty judgments D. seek truth through observation ，experimentation and reasoning 40. In the passage the writer seems to . A. prove that science is a successful course in school B. point out that science as a course is now poorly taught in school C. suggest that science should be included in the school curriculum
