    Have you ever wondered what our future is like？Practically all people _1_ a desire to predict their future _2_.Most people seem inclined to _3_ this task using causal reasoning.First we _4_ recognize that future circumstances are _5_ caused or conditioned by present ones.We learn that getting an education will _6_ how much money we earn later and that swimming beyond the reef may bring an unhappy _7_ with a shark.

    Second，people also learn that such _8_ of cause and effect are probabilistic（可能的） in nature.That is，the effects occur more often when the causes occur than when the causes are _9_， but not always.Thus，students learn that studying hard _10_ good grades in most instances，but not every time.Science makes these concepts of causality and probability more _11_ and provides techniques for dealing _12_ then more accurately than does causal human inquiry.In looking at ordinary human inquiry，we need to _13_ between prediction and understanding.Often，even if we don't understand why，we are willing to act _14_ the basis of a demonstrated predictive ability.

    Whatever the primitive drives _15_ motivate human beings，satisfying them depends heavily on the ability to _16_ future circumstances.The attempt to predict is often played in a _17_ of knowledge and understanding.If you can understand why certain regular patterns _18_，you can predict better than if you simply observe those patterns.Thus，human inquiry aims _19_ answering both "what" and "why" question，and we pursue these _20_ by observing and figuring out.
