Why does the Foundation concentrate its
support on basic rather than applied research. Basic research is the very heart
9f science, and its cumulative(积累的) product is the capital of scientific
progress, a capital that must be constantly increased as the demands upon it
rise. The goal of basic research is understanding for its own sake.

earthquakes and droughts, or of man as a behaving creature and of the social
forces that .are created whenever two or more human beings come into contact
with one another — the scope is staggering, but the commitment to truth is the
same. If the commitment were to a particular result, conflicting evidence might
be overlooked or, with the best will in the world, simply not appreciated.

Why has the kiwi survived while its
relatives the moas have become extinct One reason, I think, is that it has
adopted nocturnal(夜间活动的) habits. Kiwis are not normally about in the daytime.
During the daylight hours they lie up in hiding, where enemies have no hope of

sleep. And when night falls, out they come to scratch in the ground and find
worms and feed to their hearts’ content. They couldn’t do that
so effectively if they didn’t have another peculiarity that I have not mentioned
yet. The nostrils(鼻孔) of most birds open high up near the base of the
beak(猛禽的嘴), but the kiwi wears his nostrils right near the tip of the long bill.
