The only solid piece of scientific truth abut which I feel totally confident is that we are profoundly ignorant about nature. Indeed, I regard this as the major discovery of the past hundred years of biology. It is, in its way, an illuminating piece of news. It would have amazed the brightest minds of the 18th. century Enlightenment to be told by any of us how little we know and how bewildering seems the way ahead. It is this sudden confrontation with the depth and scope of ignorance that represents the most significant contribution of the 20th century science to the human intellect. In earlier times, we either pretended to understand how things worked or ignored the problem, or simply made up stories to fill the gaps. Now that we have begun exploring in earnest, we are getting glimpses of how huge the questions are, and how far from being answered. Because of this, we are depressed. It is not so bad being ignorant if you are totally ignorant; the hard thing is knowing in some detail the reality of ignorance, the worst spots and here and there the not-so-bad spots, but no true light at the end of the tunnel nor even any tunnels that can yet be trusted. But we are making a beginning, and there ought to be some satisfaction. There are probably no questions we can think up that can' t be answered, sooner or later, including even the matter of consciousness. To be sure, there may well be questions we can't think up and therefore limits to the reach of human intellect, but that is another matter. Within our limits, we should be able to work our way through to all our answers, if we keep at it long enough, and pay attention. According to the author, really good science ______. A．would surprise the brightest minds of the 18th century Enlightenment B．will help people to make the right choice in advance C．will produce results which cannot be foreseen D．will bring about disturbing results

Colorado has closed its prepaid plan to new investors and told existing ones that it may not cover future tuition increases. Wisconsin stopped selling its plan Dec. 20. Maryland and Illinois are among states hiking prices by 20% or more. Prepaid plans let parents lock in tuition by paying for it now, protecting them against rising costs. But the bear market has hurt investment returns, leaving the plans unable to keep up with big increases in tuition. So far, Colorado is the only state that has told participants their investments may not cover tuition, and no plan has missed a payment. Other states have said they will fulfill obligations, even if it requires a legislative bailout. Still, the financial problems have forced thousands to grapple with uncertainty——something prepaid plans were designed to avoid. More than 1 million families have an estimated $8 billion invested in the plans, says ＜SavingforCollege.com＞. Some states, including Colorado, may replace the prepaid plan with a guaranteed investment con tract, a CD-like investment that's backed by an insurance company. Investors get a minimum rate of re mm, but no guarantee that it will cover tuition. Wisconsin's EdVest program is encouraging investment in a stable value fund, which is similar to a guaranteed investment contract, in its investment plan. Wisconsin's prepaid plan never guaranteed to cover tuition inflation. It also never get a lot of investors, possibly because it lacked that guarantee. In Florida, a task force is considering limiting the state's prepaid program to low-income families. Ohio officials are also looking at limiting participation, but it's a measure they hope to avoid. "Program administrators are looking for alternatives, "says Andrea Feirstein, a state-plan consultant. Maryland recently boosted its prices by up to 30%; Illinois by up to 23%. The increases have made some prepaid plans uneconomical for parents of older children. In Ohio, the price of one year's tuition for a child over 12 months old is $8,000, more than 40% above current tuition at Ohio State. So it may not be a good deal for children starting college in three or four years because tuition may not jump that much that fast. Prepaid college tuition is generally designed on the principle that ______. A．it is easy to pay at the present time B．it is economical in the long nm C．is saves pains to pass the entrance exam D．it ensures the admission to the college
