Unit 10 *Text A: Scientific AttitudesFrom very early time science began in the earth. Because we are curious about
anything around us, we often ask many questions, such as: why the sun only come out at
daytime; why the sky is blue; why we have four different seasons etc.

previously thought作介词of的介词宾语。8. Thomas Edison failed thousands of times before he succeeded in producing the
