In the【C2】______place, the observer can work only with his experiences, and these are【C3】______by his senses and the instruments he【C4】______to extend his senses.

Other experiences are consciously or【C11】______ screened out as irrelevant to the task【C12】______. For example, as we read a book, we are often surrounded by sounds and activities that we【C13】______ , but by turning our attention to them we become conscious of their presence. What a scientist discovers depends, 【C14】______, on what he is looking for—【C15】______the questions he is asking.

The glass colors and distorts our observations, and its effects can be determined only with【C19】______difficulty. Scientists are increasingly aware of the【C20】______that they work with sense data, not with the world itself.
