What Should Be Taught
If it were only necessary to decide whether to teach elementary science to everyone on a mass basis or to find the gifted few and take them as far as they can go, our task would be fairly simple. The public school
system, however, has no such choice,51the jobs must be carried on at the same time. Because we depend so52upon science and technology for our progress, we must produce specialists in many fields. 53we live in a54nation, whose citizens make the policies for the nation, large numbers of us must be educated to understand, to uphold, and when necessary, to judge the work of55. The public school must educate both producers and56of scientific services.
In education, there should be a good balance57the branches of knowledge that contribute to effective thinking and58 judgment. Such balance is defeated by59much emphasis on any one field. This60 of balance involves not only the61of the natural sciences, the social sciences and the arts but also relative emphasis among the natural sciences themselves.62, we must have a balance between current and63 knowledge. The attention of the public is continually drawn to new64in scientific fields and the discovery of new knowledge; these should not be allowed to turn our attention away from the sound, established materials that form. the basis of65for beginners.

The Adjustment in Understanding of Man"s Relation to the Physical Universe
Nowadays the scattering of galaxies and the astounding abundance of stars are forcing those who ponder such matters to a further adjustment of their concept of the place and function of man in the material universe.
In the history of the51human mind, with its increasing knowledge of the surrounding context, there must have been a time when the philosophers of the52tribes began to realize that the world was not simply centered on man himself. The geocentric concept, which accepted a universe centered on the earth, then became common53
The second adjustment in the understanding of man"s relation to the physical universe was not generally acceptable54the sixteenth century. Copernican revolution soundly55the heliocentric Concept, the theory of a universe56on the sun. Man is a stubborn adherent to official dogma; eventually, however, he accepted the sun as the center.
Then, forty years ago, came the need for a third adjustment. This57has deeply exploded man"s pride and58, for it has carried with it the knowledge of the appalling number of galaxies.
The galactocentric universe59puts the earth and its life near the edge of one great galaxy in a universe of millions of galaxies. Man becomes peripheral among the billions of stars of his own Milky Way; and, according to the revelations of paleontology and geochemistry, he is60and apparently transient in the61of cosmic time.
The downgrading of the earth and sun and the elevation of the galaxies is not the end of this62of scientific pilgrims through philosophic fields. The need for another63adjustment now64not wholly unexpected by scientists,65wholly the result of one or two scientific revelations.
Our new problem concerns the spread of life throughout the universe. As unsolicited spokesmen for all the earthly organisms of land, sea, and air, we ask the thrilling question: Are we alone?

In education there should be a good balance among the branches of knowledge that contribute to effective thinking and wise judgement. Such balance is defeated by too much emphasis on any one field. This question of balance involves not only the relation of the natural sciences, the social sciences, and the arts but also relative emphasis among the natural sciences themselves. Similarly, we must have a balance between the current and classical knowledge. The attention of the public is continually drawn to new possibilities in scientific fields and the discovery of new knowledge; these should not be allowed to turn our attention away from the sound, established materials that form. the basis of courses for beginners.
According to the passage, the task of education is fairly complicated because ______.
A.the current public school system is too complicated to be understood
B.the public school system has no choice of what to teach
C.it is difficult to decide whether elementary science should be taught in public schools
D.the educators should take care of both ordinary and gifted students
