   The most important starting point for improving the
   understanding of science is undoubtedly an adequate
   scientific education at school. Public attitude towards
   science owe much the way science is taught in these S1________
   institutions. Today, school is what most people come into S2________
   contact with a formal instruction and explanation of science
   for the first time, at least in a systematic way. It is at this
   point which the foundations are laid for an interest in science. S3________
   what is taught (and how) in this first encounter will largely
   determine an individual’s view of the subject in adult life.
   Understanding the original of the negative attitudes S4________
   towards science may help us to modify them. Most education
   system neglect exploration, understanding and reflection. S5________
   Teachers in schools tend to present science as a collection of
   facts, often by more detail than necessary. As a result, S6________
   children memorize processes such as mathematical formulas
   or the periodic table, only to forget it shortly afterwards. The S7________
   task of learning facts and concepts, one at a time, makes
   learning laborious, boring and efficient. Such a purely S8________
   empirical approach, which consists of observation and
   description, is also, in a sense, unscientific or incomplete.
   There is therefore a need for resources and methods of
   teaching that facilitates a deep understanding of science in S9________
   an enjoyable way. Science should not only be ‘fun’ in the
   same way as playing a video game, but ‘hard fun’----a deep
   feeling of connection made possibly only by imaginative S10________
   engagement.

  The National Endowment for the Arts recently released   
  the results of its “Reading at Risk” survey, which described   
  the movement of the American public away from books and   
  literature and toward television and electronic media.   
  According to the survey, “reading is on the decline on every S1________   
  region, within every ethnic group, and at every educational level.”   
  The day the NEA report released, the U.S. House, in a tie S2________   
  vote, upheld the government’s right to obtain bookstore and   
  library records under a provision of the USA Patriot Act. The   
  House proposal would have barred the federal government   
  from demand library records, reading lists, book customer S3________   
  lists and other material in terrorism and intelligence investigations.   
  These two events are completely unrelated to, yet they S4________   
  echo each other in the message they send about the place of   
  books and reading in American culture. At the heart   
  of the NEA survey is the belief in our democratic S5________   
  system depends on leaders who can think critically, analyze   
  texts and writing clearly. All of these are skills promoted by S6________   
  reading and discussing books and literature. At the same time,   
  through a provision of the Patriot Act, the leaders of our   
  country are unconsciously sending the message that reading   
  may be connected to desirable activities that might S7________   
  undermine our system of government rather than helping   
  democracy flourish.   
  Our culture’s decline in reading begin well before the S8________   
  existence of the Patriot Act. During the 1980s’ culture wars,   
  school systems across the country pulled some books from   
  library shelves because its content was deemed by parents S9________   
  and teachers to be inappropriate. Now what started in schools   
  across the country is playing itself out on a nation stage and S10________   
  is possibly having an impact on the reading habits of the   
  American public.
