X. 다음을 읽고 물음에 완전한 영어 문장으로 답하라.Mankind, ever since there have been civilized communities,have been confronted with problems of two different kinds.On the one hand there has been the problem of masteringnatural forces; mankind have tried to acquire the knowledgeand the skill required to produce tools and weapons and toencourage nature in the production of useful animals andplants. This problem, in the modern world, is dealt with byscience and scientific technique, and experience has shownhat in order to deal with it adequately it is necessary totrain a large number of rather narrow specialists.But there is a second problem, less precise, and by somemistakenly regarded as unimportant -- I mean the problem ofhow best to utilize our command over the forces of nature.This includes such burning issues as democracy versusdictatorship, capitalism versus socialism, free speculationversus authoritarian dogma. On such issues the laboratorycan give no decisive guidance. The kind of knowledge thatgives most help in solving such problems is a wide survey ofhuman life as they appear in history. The men who first tamed the horse employed it to make warand enslave the defeated. When men discovered how to makecotton goods by machinery, child labor in England wasdeveloped to a point of shocking cruelty, and ruthlessimperialism was imposed on black men in Africa. In our ownday a combination of scientific genius and technical skillhas produced the atomic bomb, but having produced it we areall terrified, and to not know what to do with it. Theseinstances, from widely different periods of history, showthat increase of skill has not, of itself, insured anyincrease of human happiness or well-being.1.
