Actors and other performers, like singers and dancers,entertain us. They take our minds off our troubles, and remind us how beautifuland exciting our imaginations can be.

They includethe cars we drive, the computers we use at home and at work, and the appliancesthat help us cook our meals and clean our houses. All of these come from theideas and hard work of scientists. Because of scientific discoveries, we'reliving longer and more healthful lives.

　　Generally, scientists don't make as much money as famous artists like filmstars, opera singers or successful painters. However, our society gives themmore respect, and they generally make a good living. Scientists are consideredto be serious professionals, while artists are sometimes viewed as flaky,irresponsible people. So overall, I'd have to conclude that we value scientistsmore.
