完形填空

  In our discussion with people on how education can help them succeed in life, a woman remembered the first meeting of an introductory   1   course about 20 years ago.

  The profedssor   2   the lecture hall, placed upon his desk a large jar filled with dried beans(豆), and inbited the students to   3   how many beans the jar contained.After   4   shouts of wildly wrong guesses the professor smiled a thin, dry smile, announced the   5   answer, and went on saying, ”You have just   6   an important lesson about science.That is Never   7   your own senses.”

  Twenty years later, the   8   could guess what the professor had in mind.He   9   himself, perhaps, as inviting his students to start an exciting   10   into an unknown world Invisible(无形的)to the   11  , which can be discovered only through scientific   12  .But the seventeen-year-old girl could not accept or even   13   the invitattion.She was just   14   to understand the world.And she   15   that her firsthand experience could be tne   16  .The professor, however, said that it was   17  .he was taking away her only   18   for knowing and was providing her with no substitute.“I remember feeling small and   19  , ”the women says, “and I did the only thing I could do.I   20   the course that afternoon, and I haven’t gone near science since.”
