问题 You can’t know your planet unless you know something about science and technology. School science courses, I remember, concentrated on the unimportant parts of science, leaving the major insights almost untouched. The great discoveries in modern science are also great discoveries of the human spirit. For example, Copernicus showed that --far from being the center of the universe, about which the Sun, the Moon, the planets, and the stars revolved in clockwise homage--the Earth is just one of many small worlds. This is a deflation of our pretensions, to be sure, but it is also the opening up to our view of a vast and awesome universe. Every high school graduate should have some idea of the insights of Copernicus, Newton, Darwin, Freud, and Einstein. (Einstein’s special theory of relativity, far from being obscure and exceptionally difficult, can be understood in its basics with no more than first-year algebra, and the notion of a rowboat in a river going upstream and downstream.)
选项
答案
解析除非你对科学技术有所了解，否则你不可能认知你所生存的星球。我现在还记得学校的理科课程专讲科学的次要部分，相反对科学的深层含义却几乎只字不提。现代科学的伟大发现同样也是对人类精神的伟大发现。例如，哥白尼表明地球根本不是什么太阳、月亮以及其他行星和星球顺时针绕其运转的宇宙中心，而只是许多小小世界中的一个而已。当然，他的学说挫败了人类自命不凡的傲气，但同时也开阔了我们的视野，使我们看到一个浩瀚无垠、令人敬畏的宇宙。每位中学毕业生都应当对哥白尼、牛顿、达尔文、弗洛伊德和爱因斯坦的深刻思想有所了解。(爱因斯坦的狭义相对论根本算不上晦涩，也算不上特别难懂，只要有一年级的代数知识和在河中划艇逆流而上和顺流而下的概念，其基本原理是完全可以弄懂的。)
