【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 ugh, say you’re OTF (=on the floor), or LOL (=laughing out loud), or join the two into ROTFL (=rolling on the floor laughing). And when it’s time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG (=got to go) or TTYL (=talk to you later). People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can.

Newton explained how light forms a rainbow. For Keats, this explanation meant rainbows could no longer be beautiful. This is just one example of many. We often hear people talk of problems with science, or say that it is boring. Some people, like Keats, also say that science takes away the beauty of the world. But is this fair? First of all, science helps us get things done. We need to study science to produce certain kinds of people. After all, where would we be without engineers and doctors? When you are studying science in school, remember that one day you might be using that knowledge to build a bridge, or save a life. Next time you use your phone to send a message, remember that this is possible thanks to science. When Keats criticized(批判 ) Newton, the very paper he wrote on was created through science. Beyond helping society and getting things done, science also makes us think in a certain way. It asks us to believe things only through evidence. It teaches us never to trust our assumptions(假設(shè) ). It teaches us that sometimes, the truth is stranger than fiction. When you study science, remember what it means. Science has changed the world, and it can change you too. Humans once looked up at rainbows, and said that they were beautiful. Science explained them, and they were no longer recondite to us. But discovery never stops. Through science, we can find new rainbows: mysteries that lie beyond the stars themselves. 39. Why did John Keats criticize Newton around 200 years ago? A.
