issue179最后一片,感觉还是太vague

大家看看是不是这个问题？没有突出的主题，全是瞎掰:((

179"What most human beings really want to attain is not knowledge, but certainty. Gaining real knowledge requires taking risks and keeping the mind open—but most people prefer to be reassured rather than to learn the complex and often unsettling truth about anything."

523words 555 居然写了两个body ft阿

The speaker's claim contains two parts: one is gaining real knowledge requires taking risk and keeping the mind open, while the other is most people are reluctant to learn complex and uncertain truth about anything. I strongly agree with the first contention, however, in my opinion, the speaker goes too far by claiming that people do not want to learn the complex truth about "anything", although I concede that some people are held back by the hardship of seeking real knowledge at sometimes.

First of all, when it comes to the first claim, no one would deny that true knowledge cannot be obtained without great effort. By the same taken, the process of accumulation of knowledge is always companied with risk and requires the explorer to keep mind open for any flash of inspiration. The history is replete with such examples of greater thinkers, as well as brave explorers, their persistent pursuit for real knowledge. Darwin promoted his evolutionism flying in the face of human authority; Einstein proclaimed the great theory of relativity through challenging toward the classical physics; and BKCNN, the brilliant Russian mathematics established the non-Euclidean geometry by jumping out the boundary of traditional Euclidean geometry. Consider, if Darwin gave up his theory due to the pressure of religion, Einstein abandoned his great idea since the overwhelming authority of Newton; and BKCNN dare not to challenge Euclid, how could these profound scientific breakthroughs come up? The example indicates that to obtain real knowledge, which are sometimes brand new ideas conflicting the traditional concepts, one should dare to run the risk being regarded as strangers by contemporary people and also should have an open mind to keep alert of new thoughts coming from different voices.

Secondly, turn to the speaker's next assertion that most people are reluctant to learn complex and uncertain truth about anything. I concede that some people are held back by the hardship of seeking real knowledge. After all, not all people can keep on going along the road toward truth, full of storms of uncertain risks and huge waves of astonishing difficulties.  However, in my point of view, the assertion that people do not want to learn the complex truth about "anything" is plausible.  Although there is a laziness underlying the human nature, at the meantime, a curiosity about the unknown worlds is also the instinct of human beings.  This paradox is common in our everyday experience. We need not to go further just look at today's society. On the one hand, technology in all fields is pushed ahead while revealing great discoveries, such as the structure of human gene. On the other hand, we are frightened by the break-neck development of technology and the accompanied results, just think of the controversy risen by clone

technology.

In sum, human has dual nature: one is curious about the unknown world whereas the other fears about the uncertainty brought by the uncovery of the certain truth. Only the bravest one who dares to run the risk of challenging the conventions and who has open mind willing to accept alternative thoughts can walk along the road toward truth in the end.

我也觉得的确主题不是很突出，但是也算一篇比较中规中矩的文章，挑不出大错来。这样也就差不多了。语言还不错，但是有小错误，或者不够好的地方。

one is （这里少that，否则一句话有两个谓语）gaining real knowledge requires taking risk and keeping the mind open, while the other is （同上）most people are reluctant to learn complex and uncertain truth about anything.

clone
~~~~这个词应该怎么用啊
technology.
cloning？这个如何？

还有文中有个knowledge..are什么的，这个错了，应是单数。

另外，我想你对risk的理解是不是可以再扩展一下。这个risk还可以指学者在探索的时候往往要放弃自己从前相信的东西，排除一切偏见（而其实“偏见”是“常识”或“以往的见解”的近意词），这是需要有很大的勇气的。这也是为什么题目说许多人不愿意这么做，而宁愿seek for uncertainty
