Have you ever wondered what our future is like?Practically all people1a desire to predict their future2.Most people seem inclined to3this task using causal reasoning.First，we4recognize that future circumstances are5caused or conditioned by present ones.We learn that getting an education will6how much money we earn later and that swimming beyond the reef may bring an unhappy7with a shark.Second,people also learn that such8of cause and effect are probabilistic (可能的) in nature.That is,the effects occur more often when the causes occur than when the causes are9,but not always.Thus,students learn that studying hard10good grades in most instances,but not every time.Science makes these concepts of causality and probability more11and provides techniques for dealing12them more accurately than does causal human inquiry.In looking at ordinary human inquiry,we need to13between prediction and understanding.Often,even if we don �� t understand why,we are willing to act14the basis of a demonstrated predictive ability.Whatever the primitive drives15motivate human beings,satisfying them depends heavily on the ability to16future circumstances.The attempt to predict is often played in a17of knowledge and understanding.If you can understand why certain regular patterns18,you can predict better than if you simply observe those patterns.Thus,human inquiry aims19answering both “what” and “why” questions,and we pursue these20by observing and figuring out.

Passage 2
Dear all,
Please read Professor Hume �� s e �� mail about his next lecture on Rosa Parks. Susan Miller Secretary Dear Susan, Please forward this message to students of my history class. Besides the life story of Rosa Parks in the textbook,the students are also required to read the passage below and some related stories that can be borrowed from the school library. Ted Hume The early experiences of Rosa Parks (1913~2005),long known as the “mother of the civil rights movement,”were not different from those of many African �� Americans at that time.The black woman,however,turned the course of American history in December 1955 when she refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white man.“By sitting down,” remarked John Lewis,“she was standing up for all Americans.” Among the numerous awards Parks received in her life were the Presidential Medal of Freedom (1996) and the Congressional Gold Medal (1999). Parks died on Oct.24,2005.At St.Paul A.M.E.Church in Montgomery,a large crowd including Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice celebrated her life.Rice said she and others,who grew up when the political activities of Parks held public attention,might not have realized her impact(影響) on their lives,“but I can honestly say that without Mrs.Parks,I probably would not be standing here as Secretary of State.” After her casket(靈柩) was placed at the Capitol,U.S.President Bush,members of Congress and ordinary Americans paid their respects.In American history,Parks is the first woman to lie in state at the Capitol,a very high regard usually reserved for Presidents of the United States.

Passage 3
Today,as in every other day of the year,more than 3,000 U.S.adolescents will smoke their first cigarette on their way to becoming regular smokers as adults.During their lifetime,it can be expected that of these 3,000 about 23 will be murdered,30 will die in traffic accidents,and nearly 750 will be killed by a smoking �� related disease.The number of deaths attributed to cigarette smoking outweighs all other factors,whether voluntary or involuntary,as a cause of death. Since the late 1970s,when daily smoking among high school seniors reached 30 percent,smoking rates among youth have declined.While the decline is impressive,several important issues must be raised. First,in the past several years,smoking rates among youth have declined very little.Second,in the late 1970s,smoking among male high school seniors exceeded that among female by nearly 10 percent.The statistic is reversing.Third,several recent studies have indicate high school dropouts have excessively high smoking rates,as much as 75 percent. Finally,though significant declines in adolescent smoking have occurred in the past decade,no definite reasons for the decline exist.Within this context,the National Cancer Institute (NCI) began its current effort to determine the most effective measures to reduce smoking levels among youth.
