Part III. Identify 10 errors in the following passage and correct them. (20 pts)
Line
1 Let us suppose that you are in the position of a parent. Would you allow your
2 children read an book they wanted to without first checking their content? Would you
3 take them to see any film without first finding whether it is suitable for them? If your
4 answer of these questions is “yes”, then you are either extremely permissive, or just
5 plain irresponsible.
6 If your answer is “not”, then you are exercising your right as a parent to protect your
7 children from what you consider to be desirable influences. In other words, by acting
8 as a censor yourself, you are admitting that there is a strong case for censorship.
 9 Children need protection and it is the parents’ responsibility to provide it. But what
10 about adults? Aren’t they old enough to decide that is good for them? The answer is
11 that many adults are, but don’t make the mistake of thinking that all adults are
12 as yourself. Censorship is for the good of society as a whole. Highly civilised people
13 might find it possible to live together without laws of any kind: they would just rely
14 on good sense to solve their problems. But imagine what chaotic there would be if we
15 live in a society without laws! Like the law, censorship contributes to the common
16 good.

Part III. Read the following article and do the tasks that follow. (20 points)
In science, a theory is a reasonable explanation of observed events that are related. A theory often involves an
imaginary model that helps scientists picture the way an observed event could be produced. A good example
of this is found in the kinetic molecular theory, in which gases are pictured as being made up of many small
particles that are in constant motion.
A useful theory, in addition to explaining past observation, helps to predict events that have not as yet been
observed. After a theory has been publicized, scientists design experiments to test the theory. If observations
confirm the scientists’ predictions, the theory is supported. If observations do not confirm the predictions, the
scientists must search further. There may be a fault in the experiment, or the theory may have to be revised or
rejected.
Science involves imagination and creative thinking as well as collecting information and performing
experiments. Facts by themselves are not science. As the mathematician Jules Henri Poincare said: “Science is
built with facts just as a house is built with bricks, but a collection of facts cannot be called science any more
than a pile of bricks can be called a house.”
Most scientists start an investigation by finding out what other scientists have learned about a particular problem.
After known facts have been gathered, the scientist comes to the part of the investigation that requires
considerable imagination. Possible solutions to the problem are formulated. These possible solutions are called
hypotheses. 
In a way, any hypothesis is a leap into the unknown. It extends the scientist’s thinking beyond the known facts.
The scientist plans experiments, performs calculations, and makes observations to test hypotheses. For without
hypotheses, further investigation lacks purpose and direction. When hypotheses are confirmed, they are
incorporated into theories.

A. The place of theory and hypothesis in scientific investigation.
