Scientific research should improve our overall quality of life. The government should provide financial and political support to any research that is likely to result in immediate and significant benefits for the people. However, people's ideas (1)(vary) when it comes to whether the government should support scientific research with no practical use. Still (2) (a large portion of) people believe that the government should distribute adequate funds to any scientific research that aims to improve the (3)

(well-being) of people, even if it is of no practical use in the short run. Scientific research whose social benefits are immediate, predictable, and (4)

(profound) should continue to be a high priority. For example, biotechnology research has been proven to help cure and prevent diseases; information technology enables education to be more (5) (accessible) ; and communication technology facilitates global peace by improving mutual understanding among people and their participation in the democratic process.

However, this is not to say that research whose benefits are less immediate or clear should be given a lower priority. It is difficult to predict which research will (6)

(ultimately) lead to the greatest contributions to society. Reluctance to finance less practical scientific research could (7) (have a harmful effect on) the efforts to explore new knowledge. This is particularly true of the

computer sciences, For instance, before the first computer was invented, public opinions (8) (went against) it, as most people saw nothing practical in computer research. However, computers transformed the way human society evolved and proved to be of great avail in the long run, especially in terms of scientific development in fields such as the military, medicine, (9) (aviation) , and education. Therefore, never should we think that scientific research whose benefits are unknown (10)

(is not worth pursuing) since the purpose of any research should be to discover truths, whatever it might be.
