UNIT 8.

• Exercise 1. Read the text to yourself.
  
  Whould you like your son or daughter to become a scientist? if so, in what field?
  
  The questions were asked by the Literary-Gazette and a British scientist was reported to answer as follows.
  
  "I would not like my son or daughter to become a scientist of the kind typical in the world today. The development of science has already led to many undesirable consequences and is likely to lead to many more unless great effort is made to control the application of scientific discoveries. If, however, science could be developed in a new way to become a meaningful social activity, I would be glad to see my son or daughter doing science.
  
  So far as the field is concerned, I think there will be a growing tendency for scientists to occupy themselves with problems which affect fairly directly the lives of people. There seems to exist a great need to develop science which deals specially with the problems of how the applications of science affect man. To cite but a few examples, there are such problems as urban development, education and, of course, the prevention of war. If the new knowledge about the world is used for the benefit of man, rather, than for death and destruction, the human race can continue to benefit from science for centuries to come.”
