完形填空。
A successful scientist is generally a good observer. He makes full
1 of the facts he observes.
He doesn't accept ideas which are not
2 on obvious facts,and therefore refuses to accept authority as
the only
3 for truth.He always
4 ideas carefully and makes experiments to prove them.
The rise of
5 science may be considered to
6 as far back as the
7 of Roger Bacon,the wonderful philosopher of Oxford,who live
8 the years 1214 and 1292. He was probably the first in the
Middle
9 to suggest that we must leam science
10 observing and experimenting on the things
around us,and he himself
11 many important discoveries.
Galileo,however,who lived more than 300 years later (1564~1642) ,was the greatest of several great
men,
12 in Italy,France,Germany,or England,began by
13 to show how many important
14 could
be discovered by observation. Before Galileo,learned men believed that large bodies fell more
15 towards the earth than small ones,
16 Aristotle said so. But Calileo,going to the
17 of the
Leaning Tower of Pisa,let fall two
18 stones and proved Aristotle was wrong. It was Galileo's
19 of
going direct to nature,and proving our
20 and theories by experiments,that has led to all the discoveries
of modern science.
