92"In any academic area or professional field, it is just as important to recognize the limits of our knowledge and understanding as it is to acquire new facts and information."
I fundamentally agree with this agreement, for since human beings stepped into civilization recognizing what are not known[/COLOR] or understood is the subject under later study and the propel that encourage people to do research. That is, knowing the limits of our knowledge is as important as, if not more important than, gaining new information and discoveries.(57)
It is obvious that acquiring new facts and information is one prerequisite of society’s development. The newly attained knowledge can be used for inventions that make people’s lives more convenient. With the photoelectricity theory, televisions are invented, which introduce the outside world to people when they stay home. Another example is steam engine, which provided the productivity of transportation for industry revolution, and made more products for people. It is not radical to say all of our modern instruments are attributed to the newly gained knowledge.[/COLOR] Moreover, acquiring facts leads to a much healthier life. Since we get information from the study of chemistry and biology. More is known about life, thus more people begin to take care of their diet and take more exercises, according to new facts scientists give out.[/COLOR] Last but not least, the latest information is the base of future research. After scientists knew the model of DNA, greater progress in biology happened. And (From which we conclude)[/COLOR] what we acquire today may be the principles of tomorrow’s instruments.(改为progress)[/COLOR] (144)
It is also essential to recognize the limits of our knowledge and understanding for acquiring new facts. First, those unknown or beyond our understanding always become the subject we study, thus we acquire new facts and knowledge. When people find some problems cannot be resolved in the field of positive figures, negative figures come about. When Fleming was puzzled by the death of the germs, penicillin, a biotic, was studied. (例子改用第二段的 Photoelectricity was caught a sight of by Einstein under the circumstance that people could not understand the light have the characters of both particle and wave. And effective steam engine came out when Watt found the inefficiency of the old. ) [/COLOR]We spread what we know and at the same time do research on what we do not. Second, this awareness always plays the role as a stimulation, from which the curiosity and interests arouse. When people find things hard to understand, they will establish theories and test them or they collect more similar things to get common rules. All these actions are propelled by the curiosity and enthusiasm. For example, not knowing which material is proper for the bulb, Edison, the famous inventor, tried hundreds of stuff and experienced failure after failure. What encouraged him to go on is the interest from knowing the limits of his knowledge. Third, the recognition provides objective evaluation of what we get. Neglecting those limits, we may think we are so great that nothing is beyond our knowledge. But in fact, this view is wrong and will be the obstacle to go forward.(219)
However, knowing the limits of our information does not mean fear or feel human race inferior. Mrs. Curie, a physicist winning Nobel Price twice, once said“ Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood. ” The correct attitude to awareness of our limits is to work hard to enlarge our knowledge. Not being depressed. (59)
To sum up, awareness of our limits is the prelude of study of new subjects, and its destination is acquiring new facts and information and a broader horizon of information. [/COLOR]People should keep aware there are still many things beyond our ability to understand, when they try to acquire new knowledge, since both serve the progress of society.[/COLOR] And do not fear innocence, but scorn it and do our best to get rid of it.(638)
