Instructions: Read the following excerpt correctly.Be guided by the pause lines.
What is science? // How did it originate? // How did it developed? // You may
be surprised to learn / that the origin of science / lies in the supernatural.// Several
thousand years ago / man lacked the knowledge necessary / to explain the
universe and its workings / in "scientific" terms.// Many primitive cultures / believed
that events / beneficial to man's welfare / were controlled / by benevolent spirits./
Other spirits / such as those bringing sickness / were evil and malicious.//
Still / others appeared unexceedingly unpredictable;// friendly one moment, / hostile
the next.//
The impulsive character of these beings / explained why a gentle rain / eventually
developed / into a disastrous flood.// Such / is the origin of myths.
