From the very beginning, water has furnished man with a source of food and a highway to travel. The first civilizations arose (76) water was the dominant element in the environment, a challenge (77) man’s ingenuity. The Egyptians invented the 365-day calendar (78) the Nile’s annual flooding. The Babylonians (79) were among the most famous law-makers in ancient times, invented laws (80) water usage. Water inspired the Chinese to build a 1,000 miles’ canal, a complex system (81) , after 2,500 years, remains particularly in use and still commands the astonishment of engineers. But the ancients never found complete solutions (82) their water problem. The Yellow River is also known as "China’s Sorrow". It is so unpredictable and dangerous (83) in a single flood it has caused a million deaths. Floods slowed the great (84) of the Indus River Valleys, and innumerable damages ruined much of its land. Today, water dominates man as it always has done. Its presence continues to influence the location of his homes and cities; its violent variability can (85) man or his herds or his crops; its routes link him to his fellows; its immense value may add to the already dangerous political conflicts. There are many examples of this in our own time.

Science and Truth"FINAGLE" is not a word that most people associate with science. One reason is that the image of the scientist is of one who always collects data in an impartial (51) for truth. In any debate - over intelligence, schooling, energy-the (51) "science says" usually disarms opposition.But scientists have long acknowledged the existence of a "finagle factor"—a tendency by many scientists to give a helpful change to the data to (53) desired results. The latest of the finagle factor in action comes from Stephen Jay Gould, a Harvard biologist, (54) has examined the important 19th century work of Dr. Samuel George Morton. Morton was famous in his time (55) analysing the brain size of the skulls as a measure of intelligence. He concluded that whites had the (56) brains, that the brains of Indians and Blacks were smaller, and therefore, that whites constitute a superior race.Gould went back to Morton’s original data and concluded that the (57) were an example of the finagle at work. He found that Morton’s "discovery" was made by leaving out embarrassing data, using incorrect procedures, making simple arithmetical (58) (always in his favour) and changing his criteria-again, always in favour of his argument. Morton has been thoroughly discredited by now and scientists do not believe that brain size reflects (59) .But Gould went on to say Morton’s story is only an example of a common problem in (60) work. Some of the leading figures in science are believed to have (61) the finagle factor. Gould says that Isaac Newton fudged out to support at least three central statements that he could not prove. And so (62) Claudius Ptolemy, the Greek astronomer, whose master work, Almagest, summed up the case for a solar system that had the earth as its centre. Recent studies indicate that Ptolemy (63) faked some key data or resorted heavily to the finagle factor. 60()
