问题     Have you ever wondered what our future is like? Practically all people【C1】______a desire to predict their future 【C2】______. Most people seem inclined to 【C3】______ this task using causal reasoning. First we 【C4】______ recognize that nature circumstances are 【C5】______ caused or conditioned by present ones. We learn that getting an education will【C6】______how much money we earn later and that swimming beyond the reef may bring an unhappy 【C7】______ with a shark.Second, people also learn that such 【C8】______ of cause and effect are probabilistic in nature.     That is, the effects occur more often when the causes occur than when the causes are【C9】______, but not always. Thus, students learn that studying hard【C10】______good grades in most instances, but not every time. Science makes these concepts of causality and probability more【C11】______and provides techniques for dealing
    【C12】______then more accurately than does causal human inquiry. In looking at ordinary human inquiry, we need to【C13】______between prediction and understanding. Often, even if we don’t understand why, we are willing to act【C14】______the basis of a demonstrated predictive ability. Whatever the primitive drives【C15】______motivate human beings, satisfying them depends heavily on the ability to【C16】______future circumstances. The attempt to predict is often played in a【C17】______of knowledge and understanding. If you can understand why certain regular patterns【C18】______, you can predict better than if you simply observe those patterns. Thus, human inquiry aims
    【C19】______answering both "what" and "why" question, and we pursue these【C20】______by observing and figuring out.
【C7】
