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.
