Rewrite the following paragraphs by eliminating errors in parallel structure:(A)The introduction should not only motivate readers to read the body of your report, but it should also contain the purpose of the report, the background and limits of the problem, and the guidelines of the solution. There may be instances, how ever, when your introduction need only include the purpose of the report; for example, your readers may have already familiarized themselves with the general areas of your research and are conversant with the technical context of your development and purposed solution. You must be careful, though, not to give the impression that you will deal with larger problems than your report actually covers; for nothing is more frustrating to readers than being led to expect more than they are actually given. Readers always have rebelled and always will at being misled by promises in the introduction that are not developed in the body and fulfilled in the conclusion.(B)What can we do to improve the image of science and technology as something that can be understood and controlled and by ordinary men? W ell, w e can start by0educating the public, both in and outside of school, in the way in which scientific discoveries affect our daily lives. W e may pursue this educational process in a number of ways: in our schools w e can arrange student field trips to high-technology industries so that students can see for themselves the direct applications of scientific developments; we can invite speakers working in the mainstream of science who can talk about their work in progress; and we can organize more scientific forums where different students can exchange ideas. In the non-academic sector, w e can devote more new spaper and magazine space to new s stories that are scientifically oriented, and we can sponsor more television programs that examine, in layman's language, present and future research in science and technology.For too long now the average citizen has been suspicious and apprehensive about the methods science uses to understand nature; therefore, it is about time w e openedsome windows and let in some fresh air. Strengthening our lines of communication would be an excellent and a solid beginning.Translation:许多科学家从早先的研究中获得的知识,足以使他们能够对正在研究课题的结果进行合理的预测。
