VIII/ Read the passage below carefully, and then decide whether the statements are
true (T), false (F) or not given (N):
The meanings of the terms science and technology have changed significantly
from one generation to another. More similarities than differences, however, can be
found between the terms.
Both science and technology imply a thinking process, both are concerned
with causal relationships in the material world, and both employ an experimental
methodology that results in empirical demonstrations that can be verified by
repetition. Science, at least in theory, is less concerned with the practicality of its
results and more concerned with the development of general laws, but in practice
science and technology are inextricably involved with each other. The varying
interplay of the two can be observed in the historical development of such
practitioners as chemists, engineers, physicists, astronomers, carpenters, potters, and
many other specialists. Differing educational requirements, social status, vocabulary,
methodology, and types of rewards, as well as institutional objectives and
professional goals, contribute to such distinctions as can be made between the
activities of scientists and technologists; but throughout history the practitioners of
“pure” science have made many practical as well as theoretical contributions.
New vocabulary:
- practicality (n.): tính thực tế, tính thữc tiễn
- inextricable (adj.): không thể gỡ ra được; không thể giải quyết được (vấn
đề, )
- interplay (n.): ảnh hưởng lẫn nhau, sự tác động qua lại
- institutional (adj.): thuộc cơ quan, thuộc tổ chức
- practitioner (n.): thầy thuốc (luật sư) đang hành nghề
