阅读下面的短文,并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的字数要求)。

[1] Each of us has to be able to think scientifically, and to understand some science. Every day we face decisions that depend on science. Even for decisions that don' t depend on specific scientific facts, science remains the proven set of best methods for acquiring accurate information about the world.

[2] Decisions made by policy - makers in government or business fundamentally affect the well - being of everyone, and most of them know no more about science than does the rest of the general public. Yet they must decide what to do about global warming, expensive space programs, and applications of biotechnology. It' s the nonscientists, not scientists, who have the last word on whether we can drink safe milk. To make such decisions wisely, me decision makers have to be drawn from a scientifically educated public.

[3] As voters, we all bear the final responsibility for those decisions, because we are the ones who decide which candidates will succeed. We need enough sense about science to select the decision makers who will _______________ when faced with scientific questions.

[4] Even if science had nothing to do with the lives of ordinary people, a strong scientific enterprise is extremely important to our society. That requires lots of young people to become excited enough by science that they make a definite decision to become professional scientists. This requires, to some extent, the support and understanding of the general public.

[5] Scientists are not always able to communicate their findings in an easy - to - under- stand manner. Although the scientists should do a better job of explaining their discovery the general public have to expend some energy in making an attempt to understand what they have discovered. Familiarity with the non - official language of science, knowledge of some of the basic principles, and confidence in our ability to fit the new findings into our ever expanding scientific knowledge are valuable qualities of an informed citizen.
