There. are several factors that【S2】______to wisdom. Of these I should put first a sense of proportion: the capacity to take【S3】______of all the important factors in a problem and to【S4】______to each its due weight.

Suppose ,for example ,that you are【S6】______in research in scientific medicine. The work is difficult and is likely to【S7】______the whole of your mind.

You succeed(let us say)as modem medicine has succeeded ,in enormously lowering the infant death-rate ,not only in Europe and America, but also in Asia and Africa. This has the entirely unintended result of making the food supply【S8】______and lowering the standard of life in the parts of the world that have the greatest populations. To take an even more【S9】______example, which is in everybody’s mind at the present time; you study the makeup of the atom from a disinterested(无利害关系的)desire for knowledge, and by chance place in the hands of a powerful mad man the means of destroying the human race.
