Britain’s birdwatchers had long been supposed to be lovers of a minority sport. But new figures show birdwatching is fast becoming a popular pastime, with almost three million of us absorbed in our fluttering feathered friends. Devoted birdwatchers, those prepared to travel thousands of miles for a sighting of a rare Siberian bird, are fast being joined by a new breed of follower whose interest is satiated by watching a few finches on a Sunday walk or putting up a bird-box in the back garden. “Almost three million UK birdwatchers is certainly possible if you include everyone with only a casual interest, Stephen Moss said in his newly published book-A Bird in the Bush: a Social History of Birdwatching-which records the pursuit from the rich Victorian Englishman’s love of shooting rare birds to the less offensive observational tendencies of birdwatchers today. Television wildlife programmes have helped to fuel the new trend. Last summer, BBC 2’s Britain Goes Wild was a surprise success. It pulled in three million viewers and led to bird-houses selling out across the UK as 45,000 people promised to put up a box. Birdwatchers’ networking system first came to the attention of the nation in 1989, when a birdwatcher caught sight of the first Vermivora chrysoptera-a golden-winged songbird from North America-to be seen in Britain. He put a message out on the network service Birdline, and next day 3,000 birdwatchers proved the full pull of a truly rare bird as they visited the Tesco car park in Kent, where it had settled. Today, birdwatchers can log on to www.birdline.co.uk or have news of the latest sightings texted to their phones. “Multimillion-pound spending on binoculars, bird food and boxes point to the increasing numbers of birdwatchers, said David Cromack, the editor of Bird Watching magazine, “The number of people involved is so big that they have great potential to influence government decisions affecting the environment. 【查看更多】

     A recent study, while showing a generally positive attitude toward science, also suggests a widespread
worry that it may be "running out of control". This idea is dangerous.
     Science can be a force for evil as well as for good. Its applications can be channeled either way, depending
on our decisions. The decisions we make, personally or collectively, will determine the outcomes of science.
But here is a real danger. Science is advancing so fast and is so strongly influenced by businesses that we are
likely to believe whatever decisions we come to will make little difference. And, rather than fighting for the
best possible policies, we may step back and do nothing.
     Some people go even further. They say that despite the moral and legal objections (反對(duì)), whatever is
scientifically possible will be done-somewhere , sometime. They believe that science will get out of control in
the end. This belief is dangerous too, because it fuels a sense of hopelessness and discourages then from
making efforts to build a safer world.
     In our interconnected world, the lack of agreement in and out of the world of science can lead to the failure
to control the use of science. Without a common understanding, the challenges of "controlling" science in this
century will be really tough. Take human cloning for example. Despite the general agreement among scientists
on its possible huge impact (影響) on traditional moral values, some countries still go ahead with the research
and development of its related techniques. The outcomes are hard to predict.
     Therefore, discussions on how science is applied should be extended far beyond scientific societies. Only
through the untied efforts of people with hope, can we be fully safe against the misuse of science and can
science best serve mankind in the future.
