Have we ever had judicious criteria on who are heroes and who are fools in science Have we ever had people believe in those seemingly self-evident judgments In the (31) model of scientific " progress ", we begin in superstitious ignorance and move toward final truth by the (32) accumulation of facts. In this complacent perspective, the history of science contains (33) than anecdotal interest—for it can only chronicle past errors and (34) the bricklayers for discerning (35) of final truth. It is as transparent as an old-fashioned drama: truth ( as we perceive it today) is the only arbiter and the world of (36) scientists is divided into good guys who are right and bad guys who are wrong. Historians of science have utterly (37) this model during the past decade. Science is not a heartless pursuit of (38) information.

He is waiting at the airline ticket counter when he first notices the young woman. She has glossy black hair pulled tightly into a knot at the back of her head—the man imagines it loosed and cascading to her small back— and carries over her shoulder of her leather coat a heavy black purse. She wears black boots of soft leather. He struggles to see her face—she is ahead of him in line—but it is not until she has bought her ticket and turns to walk away that he realizes her beauty, which is pale and dark-eyed and full-mouthed, and which quickens his heart beat. ① She seems aware that he is staring at her and lowers her gaze abruptly. The airline clerk interrupts. The man gives up looking at the woman—he thinks she may be about twenty- five—and buys a round-trip, coach class ticket to an eastern city. His flight leaves in an hour. To kill time, the man steps into one of the airport cocktail bars and orders a scotch and water. While he sips it he watches the flow of travelers through the terminal—including a remarkable number, he thinks, of unattached pretty women dressed in fashion magazine clothes—until he catches sight of the black-haired girl in the leather coat. She is standing near a Travelers Aid counter, deep in conversation with a second girl, a blond in a cloth coat trimmed with gray fur. He wants somehow to attract the brunette’s attention, to invite her to have a drink with him before her own flight leaves for wherever she is traveling, but even though he believes for a moment she is looking his way he cannot catch her eye from out of the shadows of the bar. ② In another instant the two women separate; neither of their direction is toward him. He orders a second scotch and water. When next he sees her, he is buying a magazine to read during the flight and becomes aware that someone is jostling him. At first he is startled that anyone would be so close as to touch him, but when he sees who it is he musters a smile. "Busy place," he says. She looks up at him—is she blushing—and an odd grimace crosses her mouth and vanishes. She moves away from him and joins the crowds in the terminal. The man is at the counter with his magazine, but when he reaches into his back pocket for his wallet the pocket is empty. Where could I have lost it He thinks. His mind begins enumerating the credit cards, the currency, the membership and identification cards; his stomach churns with something very like fear. The girl who was so near to me, he thinks—and all at once he understands that she has picked his pocket. Which of the following about the young woman is CORRECT

A. She wears long black hair.
B. She is too proud to notice the man.
C. She has dark eyes and full lips.
D. She is quite tall and slim.
