Thurman Grafton suggests that ______ .
A.animal abuse is horrible and should be terminated
B.the teachers have been compelled to do all animal experiments
C.prohibition of experiments on animals will discourage students from being curious
D.the International Science and Engineering Fair will cease to operate because of the new policies
Animal welfare groups are apparently most concerned with high school students experimenting with animals in extracurricular projects. Barbara Orlans, President of the Scientists' Center for Animal Welfare, said that students have been performing surgery at random, testing known poisonous substances, and running other pathology (病理学) experiments on animals without even knowing normal physiology (生理学).
At one science fair, a student cut off the leg and tail of a lizard (蜥蜴) to demonstrate that only the tail can regenerate, she said. In another case, a student bound sparrows, starved them and observed their behavior.
"The amount of abuse had been quite horrifying," Orlans said.
Administrators of major science fairs are short-tempered over the teachers' policy change and the impression it has created. "The teachers were sold a bill of goods by Barbara Orlans," said Thurman Grafton, who heads the rules committee for the International Science and Engineering Fair. "Backyard tabletop surgery is just nonsense. The new policies throw cold water on students inquisitiveness," he said. Grafton said he wouldn't deny that there hasn't been animal abuse among projects at the international fair, but he added that judges reject contestants who have unnecessarily injured animals. The judges have a hard time monitoring local and regional fairs that may or may not choose to comply with the international fair's rules that stress proper care of animals, Grafton said.
He said that several years ago, the Westinghouse Science Talent Search banned harmful experiments to animals when sponsors threatened to cancel their support after animal welfare groups lobbied for change.
The teachers adopted the new policies also to fend off proposed legislation — in states including Missouri and New York — that would restrict or prohibit experiments on animals.
Officials of the two teachers' organizations say that they don't know how many animals have been abused in the classroom. On the one hand, many biology teachers are not trained in the proper care of animals, said Wayne Moyer, executive director of the biology teachers' association. On the other hand, the use of animals in experiments has dropped in recent years because of school budget cuts. The association may set up seminars to teach better animal care to its members.
What is the passage mainly about?
A.Science teachers banning testing harmful to animals.
B.Teachers' policy change in experiment on animals.
C.The new policies of banning harmful experiments to animals.
D.The importance of prohibiting harmful experiments on animals.
The situation has not changed much since the Dark Ages. Truth is still sought because it has value, and the scientific method remains the most systematic way of pursuing it. The method starts with a problem. Once the problem is well defined, information that might have an effect on it is gathered. The information is sorted and analyzed, and that which is useful is kept—to be used as a basis for general principles. In the social sciences, the principles are often used to help formulate policies. The policies ultimately are aimed at removing the problem and improving people's lives.
In economics (and in other social sciences), the pursuit of truth is slowed because human behavior. cannot be subjected to the kinds of controlled experiments that are possible with white rats and guinea pigs. The economist must follow the steps in a search for new truths about economic behavior, but following them is frustrating and often leads up blind alleys. Nevertheless, problems, facts, principles, and policies must be considered in a systematic way.
What can we infer from the fact that the world was perceived as flat?
A.Most people during the Dark Ages were illiterate.
B.People during the Dark Ages were lacking in social knowledge.
C.People today were more knowledgeable than those during the Dark Ages.
D.People's cognition of the world was related to the scientific development.

In education, there should be a good balance among the branches of knowledge that contribute to effective thinking and wise judgment. Such balance is defeated by too much emphasis on any one field. This question of balance involves not only the relation of the natural sciences, the social sciences, and the arts but also relative emphases among the natural sciences themselves.
Similarly, we must have a balance between current and classical knowledge. The attention of the public is continually drawn to new possibilities in scientific fields and the discovery of new knowledge; these should not be allowed to mm our attention away from the sound, established materials that form. the basis of courses for beginners.
According to the first paragraph, the task of education is fairly complicated because ______.
A.the current public school system is too complicated to be understood
B.the public school system has no choice of what to teach
C.it is difficult to decide whether elementary science should be taught in public schools
D.the educators have to take care of both ordinary and gifted students
