GRE真题核心词Chapter 1

In a temperate region of the world, a theoristnamed Varian theorized about the  variable variance in temperatures. The variety in data seemed to frequently ignore traditionalist theories, which caused a stir in the scientific community. Varian, however, was not deterred. The experimental evidence appeared to support
his claim, despite conventional understanding. 

He documented his experimentation meticulously, creating a mass of evidence that contributed significantly to the field. Varian's contribution was frequently met with a response of disregard, as it tended to challenge the conventionalities of science. Many theorists argued that his approach was tendentious, favoring his own theories
over tradition. 

Varian, however, tempered his reaction to these claims. He understood the frequent tendency of humans to resist change, a reflection of their attachment to tradition. Regardless, he continued his work, experimenting with different frequencies of currents to prove his theoretical claim. 

The technical details of his work were often misunderstood. Yet, the events of his research provided reasons for the scientific community to reflect on their own understandings. Despite the decline in initial support, Varian remained a steadfast contributor, revealing the importance of constant evolution in technology and science.
