[单项选择]
Robert Beckett, who broke his leg and had to have it
set at the local hospital, was given something to put him to sleep while this
rather painful process was going on. All he remembered afterward was that a
white-coated man made a prick in his arm—the body hardly felt it—and then sat
down beside him and asked him to count slowly to ten. (46)
(47) While Robert was couting, the
anaesthetist was pressing the plunger of the syringe and injecting into his arm
a small amount of liquid that looked like water. The liquid was not water, but a
solution containing a drug that was powerful enough to put Robert to sleep and
keep him there while his leg was being set. The same drug
would not have been powerful enough to keep Robert unconscious had he required
serious surgery. For operations where the patient must remain unconscious for an
hour or more, the anaesthetist must administer the right amount of anesthetic
continuously. (48)

[单项选择]Have we ever had judicious criteria on who are heroes and who are fools in science Have we ever had people believe in those seemingly self-evident judgments In the (31) model of scientific " progress ", we begin in superstitious ignorance and move toward final truth by the (32) accumulation of facts.
