Passage 10(2025·盐城市经济开发区期末)
Denis Rancourt is a famous physics professor and a leading scientist in his field. He has published hundreds of scientific papers and dozens of books. One day, he decided to change the way he had been teaching for many years. Why?
It all started a few years earlier. While doing research, he found that both water and land were polluted, and animals were disappearing.
"What should I do?" he asked himself. "Should I continue to focus on my own teaching and research, or should I do anything to stop these things from happening?"
As a person who cares deeply about the environment, he started doing things differently. He began with a science course which was open to everyone. He invited speakers to give talks on topics such as environmental policy, poverty, medical care, war, globalization and trade. He encouraged students to think, discuss, and take action to make the world a better place. Once, a hall was filled with more than 120 people to listen to these speeches, including 12-year-old twins.
He became a controversial(有争议的) figure on campus. Some people admired him for his bravery, sense of society and for his exciting teaching methods. Others argued that he was damaging the reputation(名誉) of the university.
In an interview, he was asked why he did all of this at the risk of his own career. "As educators, we should make people realize problems. What matters most is to stop the bad things from happening."
