The writer was Peter Watson, author of the book" Ideas--A History from Fire to Freud". Watson began: "The year 2005 can’t begin to compete with 1905 in terms of【S3】______innovations."
"Writing a history of ideas over the past three years, I have been【S4】______time and again by the fact that, contrary to what we tell ourselves all the time--on TV, in newspapers and magazines, in【S5】______and in government propaganda--our present world is nowhere near as【S6】______and innovative as it thinks it is, certainly in comparison with past ages."
"Yes, we are dazzled by mobile phones, cameras, digital TV, and the WWW, by laser-guided surgery and bombs, by DNA fingerprinting, and now by cloning. These are not【S7】______things but do they change the way we think in important--in fundamental--directions ?"
Watson quotes Richard Southern, Oxford University historian, who died last year: "Southern thought the most interesting times in history were 1050-1250 and 1750-1950."
"Each of these periods transformed our understanding of ourselves【S8】______".
"But what great ideas or transformations have been【S9】______in the half-century since 19507" Watson asked, pointing out that except for a few innovations such as the Internet, most scientific research【S10】______modifies previous studies.

M) interesting N) advertising O) pessimistic
