问题 Have you ever wondered what our future is like?Practically all people41 a desire to Dredict their future42.Most people seem inclined to43this task using causal reasoning.First,we44recognize that future circumstances are45 caused or conditioned by present ones.We learn that getting an education will46how much money we earn later and that swimming beyond the reef may bring an unhappy47with a shark. Second,people also 1earn that such48of cause and effect are probabilistic(可能的)in nature.That is,the effects occur more often when the causes Occur than when the causes are 49,but not always.Thus,students learn that studying hard50good grades in most instances,but not every time.Science makes these concepts of causality and probability more  51and provides techniques for dealing52then more accurately than does causal human inquiry.In looking at ordinary human inquiry,we need to53 between prediction and understanding.Often,even if we don’t understand why,we are willing to act54the basis of a demonstrated predictive ability. Whatever the Drimitive drives55motivate human beings,satisfying them depends heavilv on the abilitv to56future circumstances.The attempt to predict is often played in a57of knowledge and understanding.If you can understand why certain regular patterns 58,you can predict better than if you simply observe those patterns.Thus,human inquiry aims59answering both“what”and“why”questions,and we pursue these60by observing and figuring out.
