Some years ago industries had more freedom than they have now, and they did not need to be as careful as they must be today. They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed. They did not have to pay much attention to the health and safety of the people who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them; often conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers.
Of course sometimes there were real disasters which showed the need for changes. Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes produced information which governments should pay attention to. At such time, there were inquiries (调查) into the cause of the disaster or the problems. New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries; however, the new rules came too late to protect the people who died or who became seriously ill.
Today many governments have special departments which protect customers and workers. In the US, for example, there is a department which tests new planes and gives warnings about possible problem. It also makes the rules that plane producers must follow. Another department controls the foods that companies sell. A third department looks at the places where people work, and then reports any companies that are breaking laws which protect the health and safety of workers. Of course, new government departments and new laws cannot prevent every disaster or illness, but they are having some good results. Our work places are safer and cleaner than before.
The planes and cars which we use for travel are better. Producers are thinking more about the safety and health of the people who buy and use their products.

If it were only necessary to decide whether to teach elementary science to everyone on a mass basis or to find the gifted few and take them as far as they can, our task would be fairly simple. The public school system, however, has no such choose, for the jobs must be carried on at the same time. Because we depend so heavily on science and technology for our progress, we must produce specialists in many fields. Because we live in a democratic nation, whose citizens make the policies for the nation, large numbers of us must be educated to understand, to support, and when necessary, to judge the work of experts. The public school must educate both producers and users of scientific services.
In education, there should be a good balance among the branches of knowledge that contribute to effective thinking and wise judgment. Such balance is defeated by too much emphasis on any one field. This question of balance involves not only the relation of the natural science, the social science, and the arts, but also relative emphasis among the natural science themselves.
Similarly, we must have a balance between current and classical knowledge. The attention of the public is continually drawn to new possibilities in scientific fields and discovery of new knowledge; these should not be allowed to turn our attention away to the sound, established materials that form the basis of course for beginners.
57. According to the first paragraph, the task of education is fairly complicated because ______.
A. the current public school system is too complicated to be understood
B. the public school system has no choice of what to teach
C. it is difficult to decide whether elementary science should be taught in police schools
D. the educators have to take care of both ordinary and gifted students
58. Which of the following points is NOT included in the passage?
A. One of the major tasks of education is to discover the most promising students.
B. In order to teach effectively, educators are requested to lay emphasis on one particular field.
C. Some subjects have been over-emphasized in public schools.
D. The progress of the society cannot merely on inventors.
59. It can be inferred from the passage that _________.
A. students should learn more up-to date knowledge
B. lack of scientific knowledge will lead to poor relations between producers and users of scientific services
C. students are getting to know the importance of a good balance among the branches of knowledge
D. sufficient attention should be given to basic knowledge
60. The best title for this passage might be ___________.
A. Balance in EducationB. Educational System in Public Schools
C. Current SituationD. Importance of Teaching Science and Technology
