Science
Part Ⅱ(paras. 3-6)
Answer the question
... Scientific knowledge enables us to do and make all kinds of things. If we make good things, it is not only to the credit of science; it is also to the credit of the moral choice ... .
Who should be to blame(该受责备) if the power of science is used to do something bad
Scientific knowledge is an enabling power to do either good or bad -- but it does not carry instructions on how to apply it. ...
Para 3
The man who misuses the science.
Para. 3–6 Answer the question
Para.4 What does intellectural enjoyment include
Find out words or phrases positive in meaning.
Appreciation
Never concerned that the answer may let us down,with pleasure and confidence we turn over each new stone to find unimagined strangeness leading on to more wonderful questions and mysteries.
Analogy类比

What is analogy
恰当的赞扬对孩子的作用,就像阳光对于花朵的作用一样。
Through comparing two different things which have similarities, the author can illustrate his idea clearly and simply.
“ Appropriate praise to a child is what the sun is to a flower。”
“... turn over each new stone ...”
find unimagined strangeness
discover the unknown treasure hidden under a stone
我们翻开每一块新的石头去发现意想不到的奇妙,随之而来的是更加奇妙的问题与奥秘。

It’s never too late to learn.
ignorance
What can we learn from the third value of science
活到老,学到老
More knowledge, more doubt.
It is our responsibility as scientists, knowing the great progress that is the fruit of freedom of thought, to declare the value of this freedom; to teach how doubt is not to be feared but to be welcomed and discussed; and to demand this freedom as our duty to all coming generations.
Appreciation
Parallel structure can emphasize the author’s opinion.
Para. 7 offer advice
Feynman believes that, the greatest science’s values is the freedom to doubt. How do you understand this
Reflection
Say “No” to everything
Through doubting,what can we achieve
Through doubting, we are eager to explore the unknown, so that we can get progress.
While maybe the sheer (完全的) distance from my native country alone can sometimes seem overwhelming, experiencing small waves of culture shock reminds me that I am exploring different parts of the world and that I should appreciate what I’m taking in.

Micro-writing
俗话说:“科学家的动力主要来自好奇心和对真理的渴望。”科学家只有提出质疑,才能打开探索未知的大门,这也是科学能够取得进步的关键。我们每个人都可以像科学家一样,去质疑去探索去发现。在学习大量前人的成果之后,我们也要谨慎地去质疑。只有这样才能站在知识之塔上继续向上攀登。____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Possible version:
As the saying goes, “The scientist is motivated primarily by curiosity and a desire for truth.” Only when scientists raise doubts can they open the door to explore the unknown, which is the key to the progress of science. Each of us can be like a scientist, to question, to explore, and to discover. We should also be careful to question the results of a large number of previous studies. Only in this way can we stand on the tower of knowledge and continue to climb upward.

Whatever we want of any worth,We ve got to work to gain.
只要想要的东西有价值,就得靠努力去创造。
It matters not what goal you seek,

Its secret here reposes:
秘诀终归只有一条:
You ve got to dig from week to week,
周复一周不怕劳累,
To get results or roses.
才能收获硕果或者玫瑰。
