Circle the linking words in the text that the writer used in order to express his/ her opinion coherently.
(Answers:
Para. 1
To start with, we need questions. Then to find answers, we observe the world around us and study the facts. After that we consider possible answers and test each to find the right ones. (line 2-7)
Para. 2
However in the 17th century when Francis Bacon (1561-1626) suggested that this type of thinking was the way to gain knowledge, he was going against the views of the day. (line 12-14)
At that time people believed more in the church than in facts… (line 17)

三、After-reading
1. 学生活动：Group Work Think and Share
1. What do you think the last sentence of the passage means
"These men knew that knowledge and understanding are things to fight for; more vital to a man, and more beneficial to mankind, some might say, than all the money in the world."
(I think the last sentence of the text means that knowledge and understanding are more important than money. They are more helpful and useful because they can guide our ways of learning about the world and help us solve problems all the time while money can just buy certain goods and solve problems for some time.)
2. What is the writer's attitude towards the way to acquire knowledge How did the writer make his/ her opinion clear to the readers Underline the expressions that show the writer's attitude.
(The writer's attitude to acquiring knowledge is to keep asking questions and respect facts. We do not just accept answers from authority.
The writer illustrated his/ her points by using examples of Galilei and ideas from great thinkers like Bacon.)
