　　Directions: Present your perspective on one of the issues below, using relevant reasons and/or examples to support your views. “The function of science is to reassure; the purpose of art is to upset. Therein lies the value of each.”

　　范文：

　　Often, perhaps because of the controversies that surround the art world and the great faith which we place in science, we assume that the purpose of the former is to alarm and the purpose of the latter is to relieve us. While this is sometimes true, myriad counterexamples demonstrate that both science and art are both meant to upset and reassure us at the appropriate moment.

　　Let us take science first. While science often soothes man\'s oldest fears about his mortality by producing life-extending medicines and eliminating risks in his environment, it still must act as an alarm.

　　A good example is global-warming. While there are many in the scientific establishment who continue to deny that man is responsible for global warming, the vast majority of environmental scientists have taken it as their responsibility to warn us of the threats our industry poses to our environment, and through it, our own survival as a species. In this case the purpose of science is clearly not to reassure us; it is to alarm, upset, and mobilize—in short, to frighten people into the realization that inaction could prove disastrous. Thus we can see that science\'s value is in reassuring us when it discovers solutions, and upsetting us when it discovers problems.
