22、Critical thinking(批判性思维) is the ability to think clearly and rationally(理性地) about what to believe or what to do. It helps people decide wisely.

A good critical thinker usually takes the following steps before he decides what to do. Whenever he needs to do something, he would first of all, reason. He checks why he needs to do it and whether he really needs to do it. Then, analyze. He tries to find out what it really is and the best way to do it. After that, evaluate. He makes sure whether he is able to do it and how to do it well. Finally, he makes the decision and takes action. Take the “Double 11” (a popular online shopping day in China) as an example. A few days before it, he checks carefully what he needs and whether he really needs them, and makes a shopping list. He goes to the online shops to compare the quality and the prices of the things that he is going to buy. He compares the shops that sell these things. Then he checks whether he can afford them and in which shops he is going to buy them. Although it takes him some time to make the decisions, he would not regret after the shopping.

Then what would happen if he didn’t think critically before he made the decisions? After the crazy “Double 11”, there were usually a lot of complaints on the Internet. There were regrets about buying more things than they needed. There were complaints about the poor quality and the prices of the things they bought. There were also complaints because they received wrong things or simply received nothing. There were all kinds of regrets and complaints. Why so? They had not thought critically before they made the decision.

Critical thinking helps you make wiser decisions. It helps you avoid wasting time, money and so on. Therefore, do look before you leap.

23、Clark and Dale were staying in the same room in a hospital. Clark was so sick that he could not even move his body. He had to spend all his time lying on his back. Dale could sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon. His bed was next to the room’s only window. Over time, Clark and Dale became good friends. Every afternoon, Dale would look out of the room’s only window, describing the scenery(风景) outside for his friend. He told Clark about the flowers in a park outside the window, the people walking by, the green trees beside roads—anything that might interest a man.

One morning, when a nurse came to check the two men, she found that Dale had died in his sleep. As soon as the room seemed tidy again, Clark asked if he could move to the bed next to the window himself. The nurse agreed. Slowly, he could take his first look at the world outside. To his surprise, he could see nothing but a blank wall of another building.

The nurse explained that Dale had been blind. He had never seen anything outside the window at all—but he described beautiful scenes to help his friend feel better.

根据短文内容判断正误，正确的写(A),错误的写(B).

【1】Although Clark was sick, he was able to move his body on the bed.

【2】The nurse told Clark about the scenery outside the window to make him feel better.

【3】Clark wanted to move to the bed next to the window because he was sure that there was nothing.

【4】Clark saw a blank wall of another building instead of the flowers, green trees, etc.

【5】Dale tried to help his friend feel better although he had been blind.

24、阅读短文，根据语篇内容，首字母，音标及汉语提示完成短文。

Everyone has his 【1】 dream. What do you want to do when you 【2】 (长大)? Maybe you like dancing and want to be a dancer like Yang Liping. Maybe you like sports and want to be a sports star like Zhang Yining, Yao Ming, Beckham and so on. Maybe you like studying the space and want to be a scientist.

【3】, do you know there was hard work behind their success. Are you 【4】 (为……做准备)your dream? If you have a dream 【5】 don’t work hard for it, the dream is only a “dream”. Many famous people set good 【6】 [igzɑːmplz] for us, 【7】 (例如)Edison, Marie, Hua Luogeng and 【8】 great people.
