21、In ancient (古代的) times, people tried to explain the world based on what they saw. People saw that the sun came up from one side of the earth and went down on the other side. So they believed that the sun traveled around the earth. Going directly from observation (观察) to conclusion (结论) is called non-scientific thinking.

Here is an example of non-scientific thinking. Maybe you had a stomachache, and ate some chocolates. An hour later, you felt much better. You might think that it was the chocolates that made you feel better. But there are other possible explanations. Maybe you had taken some medicine an hour earlier, and it took a while to work. Maybe enough time had passed, and you would have felt better without eating the chocolates.

While the scientific method is a way of thinking that helps you to avoid drawing wrong conclusions. It helps you to avoid no-scientific thinking. It reminds you to take your first conclusion as one of several possible conclusions. It also reminds you to find evidence (证据) to support your conclusion.

The five steps in the scientific method begin by questioning an observation, and end with a conclusion that is based on evidence. Step 1 is to ask a question about your observation, such as, “What makes a stomachache feel better?” Step 2 is to state a possible answer to the question, such as, “Chocolates make a sick stomach feel better.” Step 3 is to test. You could wait until you have a stomachache again, eat some chocolates, and see what happens. You could ask a lot of people if eating chocolates had ever made a stomachache feel better. Step 4 is to think about the findings—think about what happened when you made tests. Step 5 is to draw a conclusion—and share it with others.

【1】Why does the writer use the example of the sun and the earth in Paragraph 1?

A．To show what non-scientific thinking is like.

B．To prove that the sun travels around the earth.

C．To help people explain the world around them.

D．To tell us people in ancient times were clever.

【2】What do you know about the steps in scientific thinking?

A．Many findings are from what you see.

B．Conclusions usually come from testing.

C．Interviewing is a quick way to get answers.

D．Questions are more important than answers.

【3】What is the passage mainly about?

A．The reasons why scientific thinking is more popular.

B．The possible explanations for non-scientific thinking.

C．The differences between scientific and non-scientific thinking.

D．The conclusions made by scientific and non-scientific thinking.
