Unit One Making a difference
TASK 1 Warming-up
Let ’ s get to know the following scientist and their famous quotes. Imagination is more important than knowledge. It takes a very unusual mind to undertake analysis of the obvious.
Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood. Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him find it within himself.

Useful expressions—p.2 That’s correct. It’s clear that… I doubt…/ That’s true./ It’s hard to say. Well, maybe, but…/ There is no doubt that… What’s your idea? / Have you thought about…?
Biologists 李时珍 谈家桢 Darwin F. H. Crick ** I think biology is the most impor- tant and useful science because it is essential to protecting the ecological balance and environment. People can’t live with-out living things. Fur- thermore, biology goes hand in hand with our life. If there were no science of biology, there would not be medi- cine. In a word, biology is the most important and useful.
chemists 卢嘉锡 Scheele 舍勒 拉瓦锡 张青莲 ** Well, maybe, but I think that chemistry is the most important and useful, because chemistry is the key to the progress of the human being. Besides, it is chemical reaction that produces many new things.
Physicists 钱学森 李政道 Einstein Hawking **It is hard to say. There are many physical products. And physics is widely used in many fields, such as medicine, industry and agriculture. Without physics, we could never go and explore outer space. So I think physics is the most important and useful science.
Mathematicians 华罗庚 苏步青 Gauss Archimedes **That’s true. But maths is the basic science. You can’t learn physics or chemistry well with- out a good knowledge of math. Maths is a tool in science and engineering. Therefore, maths is the most important and use- ful science. What’s your idea?
Computer scientists ** Well, there is no doubt that maths is an important and useful science. In my opinion, the most important and useful science should be computer science in our modern information society. The computer is now an indispensable ( 不可缺少的 ) tool in many fields. It can settle all kinds of problems at a high speed and can help people work easily. So I think computer science is the most important and useful science.
