Secton B: Read the passage and answer the questions that

follow them.Many of the latest scientific accomplishments fall in the realm of 'pure' science. This is research for the sack of increasing man's knowledge without concern about how the knowledge is going to be used. In contrast with pure science is 'applied' science. The production of synthetic diamonds is an example of applied science. In applied science the facts and principles of pure

science are used in the solution of a problem which was or will have immediate economic and social importance.Often in the past,applied science has gone far ahead of pure science. Its practical applications have been used for man's good even before the basic facts and priciples were understood. For example, the telegraph, telephone and electric motor, which could not work without electrons, were invented before man discovered the electron. People were vaccinated long before viruses were investigated. Chemicals like sulfuric acid and soda were manufactured long before man began to understand the nature of the atom. Today, however, if applied science is to grow it must depend more and more on increased

knowledge of pure sciences.

2. What is the difference between pure and applied science?

-Because people used it for real life before they studied it

4. What does the fact that vaccination had been practised long before the investigation of viruses mean?

-It means that applied science go far ahead of pure science

5. What does applied science depend on?l.What is the aim of pure science?

ACCORDING TO YOU, WHICH JOB IS THE MOST

INTERESTING ? WHY?

I really like teaching. I find that teaching is very exiting and interesting. Teachers have not only much knowledge but they also know how to teach the students. Moreover, teachers always need to be creative to make students feel more attractive in each lesson. To do that, they have to use knowledge of many areas in books and real life. I really admire the teachers who can use many knowledge in lessons, renew their teaching method and make they are different from the others. For me, teaching is the most interesting and also difficult.
