答案 Countries are making great strides in scientific research today, but the optimal structure for it, that is, whether it should be controlled and carried out by the government is still a debate among many. Some people claim that it is important for the government to control scientific research. They point out that many researches are in the national interest and involve highly classified information, such as research into nuclear technology and military development, so of course they should only be carried out by the government. Also, sometimes scientific research is designed and conducted purely for the advancement of knowledge or the study of theories, which means results cannot be guaranteed, and there is little incentive for the private sector to invest in these areas; therefore, governments need to take a leading role in such kind of research. Others, however, argue that there are reasons for private companies to participate in scientific research. They believe that research conducted in corporate labs is more closely alligned with market needs—research into medicine and cosmetics, for example, which is not always a governmental priority. Besides, private-owned institutes have certain advantages in financing scientific research and their profit motive tends to result in a more efficient allocation of resources .Thus, obviously, it is necessary for the private sector to invest in this area. Overall, I think that both the government and the private sector should be actively involved in scientific research and more encouragement should be given to the cooperation and coordination between different research institutes including state-owned research organisations, universities and corporate labs etc. to accelerate the development of technology so as to benefit human life on a larger scale.
