24、 to double the publics pleasure and fun. Brand names for tooth-pastes, soaps, detergents, and deodorants have, through his efforts, become household expressions.

29、n go, our task would be fairly simple. The public school system, however, has no such choice, for the jobs must be carried on at the same time. Because we depend so heavily upon science and technology for our progress, we must produce specialists in many fields. Because we live in a democratic natio
30、n, whose citizens make the policies for the nation, large numbers of us must be educated to understand, to support, and when necessary, to judge the work of experts. The public school must educate both producers and users of scientific services.In education, there should be a good balance among the
31、branches of knowledge that contribute to effective thinking and wise judgment. Such balance is defeated by too much emphasis on any one field. This question of balance involves not only the relation of the natural sciences, the social sciences, and the arts but also relative emphases among the natur
32、al sciences themselves.Similarly, we must have a balance between current and classical knowledge. The attention of the public is continually drawn to new possibilities in scientific fields and the discovery of new knowledge; these should not be allowed to mm our attention away from the sound, establ
33、ished materials that form the basis of courses for beginners.46 According to the first paragraph, the task of education is fairly complicated because _.（A）the current public school system is too complicated to be understood（B） the public school system has no choice of what to teach（C） it is difficul

36、 inventors. 49 It can be inferred from the passage that _.（A）students should learn more up-to-date knowledge（B） lack of scientific knowledge will lead to poor relations between producers and users of scientific services（C） students are getting to know the importance of a good balance among the branc
37、hes of knowledge（D）sufficient attention should be given to bask knowledge 50 The best title for this passage might be _.（A）Current Situation in Education（B） Education System in Public School（C） Balance in Education（D）Importance of Teaching Science and Technology 50 The author is an aggressive, brill
38、iant and literate astronomer. This vastly entertaining book has a simple manner with complex ideas, without being patronizing, and is often very funny.In 274 pages Sagan deals with everything from the formation of the Earth to the puzzling possibilities of contact with extra-terrestrial life. This i
39、s the moment in history when mans stepping into the universe has suddenly become conceivable. To Sagan this is more exciting and important than was the exploration of the New World in the sixteenth century. So expenditure on the space programme, pruned of recent excesses, ought to continue-it is, ac
40、cording to Sagan, no larger a part of Americas gross national income than was the relative cost to England in the sixteenth century of exploration in sailing ships.The book is not for scientific illiterates, nor is Sagan a pedestrian scientist. Although he makes short work of the unidentified foreig
41、n objects (UFO) spotters, he is unafraid to take us on a speculative journey to a black hole which, for all he knows, might be the quick route to somewhere else, not necessarily our universe.Sagan exhibits a passionate interest in life in the cosmos in which there are .almost certainly civilizations
42、 much more advanced than our own. We are the result of a number of relatively recent cosmic accidents, but for all that, Sagan is no less excited about our future,51 From the passage we understand that Carl Sagan writes _.（A）forcefully and complexly（B） elaborately and literally（C） simply and humorou
