Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage.
Children are natural-born scientists. They have __36__ minds, and they
aren't afraid to admitthey don't know something. Most of them, __37__. lose this
as they got older. They becomeself-conscious and don't want to appear stupid.
Instead of finding things out for themselvesthey make __38__ that often turn to
be wrong.
So it's not a case of getting kids interested in science. You just have to
avoid killing the__39__ for learning that they were born with. It's no
coincidence that kids start desertingscience once it becomes formalised.
Children naturally have a blurred approach to __40__knowledge. They see learning
about science or biology or cooking as all part of the same act—it's all
learning. It's only because of the practicalities of education that you have to
startbreaking down the curriculum into specialist subjects. You need to have
specialist teacherswho __41__ what they know. Thus once they enter school,
children begin to define subjectsand erect boundaries that needn't other-wise
exist.
Dividing subjects into science, maths, English, etc. is something we do for
__42__. In the endit's all learning, but many children today __43__ themselves
from a scientific education. Theythink science is for scientists, not for
them.
Of course we need to specialise __44__. Each of us has only so much time on
Earth, so wecan't study everything. At 5 years old, our field of knowledge and
__45__ is broad, coveringanything from learning to walk to learning to count.
Gradually it narrows down so that by thetime we are 45, it might be one tiny
little comer within science.
