题目：ISSUE40 - "Scholars and researchers should not be concerned with whether their work makes a contribution to the larger society. It is more important that they pursue their individual interests, however unusual or idiosyncratic those interests may seem."  

Should academic scholars and researchers  be free to pursue whatever avenues of inquiry and research interest them, no matter how unusual or idiosyncratic, as the speaker asserts? I concede that interest is the paramount impetus of research. Moreover, many scientific achievements which benefit our contemporary society a lot result from the seemingly unusual or idiosyncratic interests at that time. However, the scholars and researchers should also never neglect their social responsibility.

Admittedly, interest plays a vital role in the advace of science, without the seemingly unusual or idiosyncratic interests, we humans could hardly enjoy the luxurious and convenient modern life brought about by the  scientific achievements  which  were motivated by interest. By confining their research to beneficial social contribtions, scholars and scientists might lack the inspiration of personal interest. Thus great innovation might be dismissed  in apathetic neglect. A telling example of the inherent danger of setting and enforcing scientific research priorities regardless of the scientists' initial interests involves the Soviet government's attempts during the 1920s to control the direction and the goals of its scientists' research. Not surprisingly, during this period, no significant scientifc advances occured under the auspices of the Soviet government. The Soviet lesson provides us an important caveat that the importance of the interests in the scientific research can not be ignored.

Moreover,  what scientists are pursuing is to exlpore the unknown frontiers of the world , which means scientists themselves are not very sure what they would discover, so no mention what impact on society their discoveries will have. Actually, most discoveries were born by accidents, or were the byproducs in the process of other researches. Consider, for instance, Marie Curie who was the greast female  physical scientist and chemist did not well prepared and intentionally decideded to discovery the element of radium.However, it is true that what she discovered not only crowned her with Nobel Prize, but also enormously contributed to our society.

However, scholars and researchers who are regarded as the world's preeminent intelectual talent should shoulder the responsibility to make contributions to the society. As they are hornored by the public just because their work seems to benefit the society and promote the advance of  human species. What's more important, the pursuit of individual interets by scholars and researchers should not consist of treacherous and evil interests that may damage the well-being of individuals or society as a whole.And there still are conventions, regulations, moral, and ethic commitments that scientists must obey.

In sum, I fundamentally agree that we should give academic scholars enough freedom of intellectual inquiry and research.Engaing one's individual talents in one's particular area of fascination is most likely to yoeld advances, dicoveries, and innovations.However, in order to make the world a better and more ineresting place to live in, the academic scholars need also consider the responsiblity that  they undertake for the society as well as the moral and ethic restrictions in their research.

Should academic scholars and researchers be free to pursue whatever avenues of inquiry and research interest them, no matter how unusual or idiosyncratic, as the speaker asserts? I concede that interest is the paramount impetus of (for) research. Moreover, many scientific achievements which benefit our contemporary society a lot result from the seemingly unusual or idiosyncratic interests at that time. However, the scholars and researchers should also never neglect their social responsibility.

Admittedly, interest plays a vital role in the advace (advance) of science, without the seemingly unusual or idiosyncratic interests, we humans (human) could hardly enjoy the luxurious and convenient modern life brought about by the scientific achievements which were motivated by interest. By confining their research to beneficial social contributions, scholars and scientists might lack the inspiration of (from) personal interest. Thus great innovation might be dismissed in apathetic neglect. A telling example of the inherent danger of setting and enforcing scientific research priorities regardless of the scientists' initial interests involves the Soviet government's attempts during the 1920s to control the direction and the goals of its scientists' research. Not surprisingly, during this period, no significant scientific advances occurred under the auspices of the Soviet government. The Soviet lesson provides us an important caveat (防止误解的说明，做警告时
通常是用在法律上的，这里用caution就行了) that the importance of the interests in the scientific research can not be ignored.

Moreover, what scientists are pursuing is to explore the unknown frontiers of the world, which means scientists themselves are not very sure what they would discover, so no mention what impact on society their discoveries will have. Actually, most discoveries were born by accidents, or were the byproducts in the process of other researches. Consider, for instance, Marie Curie who was the greatest female physical scientist and chemist did not well-prepared and intentionally decided to discovery the element of radium. However, it is true that what she discovered not only crowned her with Nobel Prize, but also enormously contributed to our society.

However, scholars and researchers who are regarded as the world's preeminent intellectual talent should shoulder the responsibility to make contributions to the society. As they are (hornored) (honored) by the public just because their work seems to benefit the society and promote the advance of human species. What's more important, the pursuit of individual interests by scholars and researchers should not consist of treacherous and evil interests that may damage the well-being of individuals or society as a whole. And there still are conventions, regulations, moral, and ethic commitments that scientists must obey.


In sum, I fundamentally agree that we should give academic scholars enough freedom of intellectual inquiry and research. Engaging one's individual talents in one's particular area of fascination is most likely to yield advances, discoveries, and innovations. However, in order to make the world a better and more interesting (wonderful) place to live in, the academic scholars need also consider the responsibility that they undertake for the society as well as the moral and ethic restrictions in their research.
点评：
1 整体结构还是比较清晰的，让步＋递进＋转折
2 不知道是你打字太快还是啥的…拼写错误很多，我好多都是帮你直接改过来了。觉得特别有问题的才用红笔圈起来。还有一些高级词汇的用法不对，如果不能精确把握它的意思还不如不用。
