参考范文
    When science is mentioned, some people often think that science has nothing to do with ordinary people. Is it right? Can we realise our modernization with a high illiterate rate of about 10% of its toal population? Absolutely not! Nor canwe produce high quality products with a lot of poorskilled labourers, not to mention about catching up with the advanced science and technology in the world with 90% of its young people who cannot receive higher education. In fact, science is a decisive factor for any country's development. Without science, the develonment of society and progress of humnan race are imposible.
    When asked about science, some people will immediately associate it with many scientific discoveries such as computer, TV, satellite and so on. It is true that science has revolutionized our way of living and changed the lives of millions of people. It has become the new“magic” capable of doing everything. The latest gadgets and devices around you for a better living have come as a result of scientific studies. In modern society, man can hardly live without penicilin, telephone, TV and computer.
    But the true values of science do not merely lie in these things. Rather, they lie in the way in which science contributes to man's physical, intelletual and mental wellbeing. science has not only improved people's standard of living, but most importantly, their uderstanding and their opportunities for spiritual and intellectual growth. More than any other subject, science has freed people from ignorance and has mutiplied their energies, hopes and ambitions. Undoutedly, China needs to popularize science among people in order to promote its development.
