III. Read the following passage carefully, and then decide whether the statements are true , false or not
given
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 thực 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
