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 future 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.
