This has stpped its decline in the 1990s. Her name, when mentined n China’s scial media platfrms, ften is fllwed by a vide f her live perfrmance at a cncert in Sydney, Australia.

Science is a prcess that builds upn existing theries and knwledge by cntinuusly revising them. Every aspect f scientific knwledge can be questined, including the general rules f thinking that appear t be mst certain. S why is science trustwrthy if it is always changing? If tmrrw we will n lnger see the wrld as Newtn r Einstein fund it t be, why shuld we take seriusly tday’s scientific descriptin f the wrld?
The answer is simple: Because at any given mment f ur histry, this descriptin f the wrld is the best we have. The fact that it can be made better can’t diminish (降低) the fact that it is a useful instrument fr understanding the wrld.
Cnsider a flk healer’s herbal medicine. Can we say this treatment is “scientific”? Yes, if it is prven t be effective, even if we have n idea why it wrks. In fact, quite a few cmmn medicatins used tday have their rigin in flk treatments, and we are still nt sure hw they wrk. This des nt imply that flk treatments are generally effective. T the cntrary, many f them are nt. What distinguishes scientific medicine is the readiness t seriusly test a treatment and t be ready t change ur minds if smething is shwn nt t wrk. A research dctr in a mdern hspital must be ready t change his thery if a mre effective way f understanding illness, r treating it, becmes available.
What makes mdern science uniquely pwerful is its refusal t believe that it already pssesses ultimate truth. The reliability f science is based nt n certainty but n a cmplete absence f certainty. As Jhn Stuart Mill wrte in “On Liberty” in 1859, “The beliefs which we have mst warrant (依据) fr, have n safeguard t rest n, but a standing invitatin t the whle wrld t prve them unfunded.”
8. Why des the authr raise the tw questins in paragraph 1?
A. T add sme fun.B. T express dubts.
C. T intrduce the tpic.D. T prvide backgrund.
9. What can we learn abut tday’s scientific descriptin f the wrld?
A. It can be timeless.B. It can be imprved.
C. It is f little value.D. It is the best at any mment.
10. What is the authr’s attitude tward flk treatment?
A. Dismissive.B. Objective.C. Pessimistic.D. Sympathetic.
11. What is the main idea f paragraph 4?
A. It is unwise t believe in science.
B. T much uncertainty lies in science.
C. The fundatin f science is unfunded.
D. The lack f certainty makes science credible.

Thugh researchers have lng knwn that adults build uncnscius (无意识的) preferences ver a lifetime f making chices between things that are essentially the same, the new finding that even babies engage in this phenmenn demnstrates that this way f justifying chice is intuitive (凭直觉的) and smehw fundamental t the human experience.
“The act f making a chice changes hw we feel abut ur ptins,” said Alex Silver, a Jhns Hpkins researcher. “Even infants wh are really just at the start f making chices fr themselves have this preference.”
The findings are published tday in the jurnal Psychlgical Science. Peple assume they chse things that they like. But research suggests that’s smetimes backwards: we like things because we chse them. And, we dislike things that we dn’t chse. “Adults make these inferences uncnsciusly,” said c-authr Lisa Feigensn, a Jhns Hpkins scientist in child develpment. “We justify ur chice after the fact.”
This makes sense fr adults in a cnsumer culture wh must make randm chices every day, between everything frm tthpaste brands t styles f jeans. The questin was when exactly peple start ding this. S they turned t babies, wh dn’t get many chices s, as Feigensn puts it, are “a perfect windw int the rigin f this tendency.”
The team brught 10-t 20-mnth-ld babies int the lab and gave them a chice f bjects t play with; tw equally bright and clrful sft blcks. They set them far apart, s the babies had t crawl t ne r the ther — a randm chice. After the baby chse ne f the tys, the researchers tk it away and came back with a new ptin. The babies culd then pick frm the ty they didn’t play with the first time, r a brand new ty. Their chices shwed they “dis-prefer the unchsen bject.”
T cntinue studying the evlutin f chice in babies, the lab will next lk at the idea f “chice verlad.” Fr adults, chice is gd, but t many chices can be a prblem, s the lab will try t determine if that is als true fr babies.
12. What is peple’s assumptin abut the act f making chices?
A. They like what they chse.
B. They chse what they like.
C. They base chices n the fact.
D. They make chices thughtfully.
13. Why were babies selected as subjects fr the study?
A. T help them make better chices.
B. T guide them t perceive the wrld.
C. T track the rt f making randm chices.
D. T deepen the understanding f a cnsumer culture.
14. What des the study n the babies shw?
A. They like nvel bjects.
B. Their chices are mstly based n clrs.
C. Their randm chices becme preferences.
D. They are unable t make chices fr themselves.
15. What will the fllwing study fcus n?
A. The law f “chice verlad”.
B. The prblem f adults’ many chices.
C. Why t many chices can influence adults.
D. Whether babies are trubled with many chices.
