Voices have been raised in protest since the beginning, rising in pitch and violence in the nineteenth century during the early stages of the industrial revolution, summoning urgent crowds into the streets any day on the issue of nuclear energy. The principal discoveries in this century, all in all, are the glimpses of the depth of our ignorance about nature. Things that used to seem clear and rational, matters of absolute certainty—Newtonian mechanics, for example—have slipped through our fingers, and we are left with a new set of gigantic puzzles, cosmic uncertainties, ambiguities; some of the laws of physics are amended every few years, some are canceled outright, some undergo revised versions of legislative intent as if they were acts of Congress.

Just thirty years ago we call it a biological revolution when the fantastic geometry of the DNA molecule was exposed to public view and the linear language of genetics was decoded. For a while, things seemed simple and clear, the cell was a neat little machine, a mechanical device ready for taking to pieces and reassembling, like a tiny watch. But just in the last few years it has become almost unbelievably complex, filled with strange parts whose functions are beyond today's imagining.

It is not just that there is more to do; there is everything to do. What lies ahead, or what can lie ahead if the efforts in basic research are continued, is much more than the conquest of human disease or the improvement of agricultural technology or the cultivation of nutrients in the sea. As we learn more about fundamental processes of living things in general we will learn more about ourselves.

What CAN'T be inferred from the 1st paragraph？

A．Scientific experiments in the past three hundred years have produced many valuable items.

B．For three hundred years there have been people holding hostile attitude toward science.

C．For centuries scientific discoveries have been hailed by the human world unanimously.

D．Three hundred years is not long enough to settle back for critical appraisal of the scientific method.

Some analysts suggest that in recent years many people are less patient because of technology.They suggest that “digital technology, from cellphones to emails to Wads, is changing our lives.The instant results we get from this technology have in turn increased our desire for instant satisfaction in other aspects of our lives.”

Psychologist Jennifer Hartstein makes some observations.She explains that “we have become an immediate satisfaction culture, and we expect things to move quickly, efficiently and in the way we want.When that doesn't happen, we tend to become increasingly frustrated and unsatisfied.”

Some believe that e-mail is losing popularity and could soon become outdated.Why？ Because many people who send messages do not have the patience to wait hours, or even minutes, for a response.Also, with e-mails, as with letter writing, introductory and concluding greetings are often expected.But many people consider such formalities(客套)to be boring and time-consuming.They prefer instant messaging.Many people do not take the time to proofread what they put in writing.As a result, letters and e-mails contain numerous grammatical and spelling errors.

The thirst for immediate results is not limited to the digital communications.People seem to be losing their ability to wait in other areas of life.For instance, do you ever find yourself talking too fast, eating too fast, driving too fast, or spending money too fast？ The few moments it takes to wait for an elevator to come, for a traffic light to change, or for a computer to start may seem like too long a time.
