8．Critical thinking is an important skill that can increase students'ability to learn in any situation．This can be applied to traditional education to traditional education，or directly in a career related role．Many teachers find it such a valuable skill that they give their students a critical thinking question every day．Developing this ability can mean the difference between"just passing a course"and"understanding the material well enough"so that what students learn from it will follow them throughout their life．
Some characteristics of a critical thinker that teacher should encourage are；
-asking questions as a reaction to something  read or discussed；
-determining the"deeper meaning"of particular passage or topic；
-providing input and opinions to topics as a direct result of analysis and research； and
-reasoning in an effort to develop an argument of your own opinion．
It is important for a student to understand more than definition（定義）One way to truly understand an idea is to have heands-on practice，and to apply concepts learned in a  textbook．Such"mini-examples"will interest a student and improve their understanding of a topic．This is how life-long skills can be developed．
Teachers that use critical thinking practices in the classroom can"go above and beyond"by asking questions that promote a greater comprehension of the material．Instructors should be able to challenge students and create an environment where they are analyzing material and gaining a better understanding．This will make the classroom move in a direction for learning．It can also help students to stay interested in the course material，as they always have a new concept to consider．
At the same time，students benefit greatly from developing critical thinking skills．When learned early on，these skills can be used throughout their college education．Students can understand how to consider a topic，analyse it，and discuss it from different points of view．These are skills that will benefit them when they are part of the workforce as well．

31．Critical thinking can best be described asC．
A．a(chǎn) system to improve people's memory
B．a(chǎn) method to expand people's knowledge
C．a(chǎn) way to increase people's ability to understand
D．a(chǎn) process to make people more critical of others

"In these difficult days that Brazil is facing，the flame is a timeless reminder that we all are part of the same humanity，"he said．"May today's lighting of the Olympic flame be another reminder to everyone to uphold the spirit of the Olympic Games and to build a better world through sport．"

16．How do you know if your home is an easy aim for thefts（偷竊）？Around the holidays，many families don't consider taking proper measures to prevent their homes from suffering holiday thefts．With just a few simple steps，you can better make sure of the safety of your home during all of the holiday celebrations．Here are a few tips for making it difficult to tell you are away from home．
●Either have a trusted neighbor pick up your mail and newspapers，or tell your mailperson to hold your mail until you return．Nothing says"Hey，we are not home!"like when your postbox is filled with all kinds of mails and you have many different newspapers in your driveway．
●Set several different lights in your house on random timers （隨機(jī)定時(shí)器）．Don't leave your outdoor lights on all the time．Instead，put your outside lights on timers to be on during the nights．If an outdoor light remains on for days at a time，it means that nobody is home to turn it off．
●If you have pets that you are not taking with you on vacation，leave them with a friend，rather than having someone come into your house every day to take care of them．When thefts see a neighbor or friend entering your house every day，they will know you are not home．
●Close all your curtains when you leave town．This is effective to deter possible thefts，as no one can see what is in your house．If they don't know what there is to take，then the risk is even greater for them to break in．
●This article just has suggested a few tips to help you keep your house safe while you are on holiday．Nothing can truly protect your home unless you have it monitored by a professional home security system．

56．What is the main idea of the passage？A
A．to tell us how to prevent the thefts around the holidays
B．to let the outdoor lights on all the time
C．to tell us many families suffering from the thefts while they are on holiday
D．to tell you to have your neighbor go to your house to take care of your pet．
57．If you are on holiday in other places，the lights in your house shouldA．
A．be lit in an irregular way              B．be kept on all the night
C．be replaced by random timers            D be turned on only once one day
58．To make your home is well protected，what does the writer advise you to do？D
A．Have all the curtains closed              B．Stop your mail service at once
C．Turn to your close neighbors or friends   D．Equip your home with security system
59．Most of the tips mentioned in the text seem toC．
A．be very popular with families           
B．have no effect on preventing thefts
C．give a false impression on thefts．
D．be a little hard to be brought into effect．
60．The underlined word"deter"probably means"????B"．
A．discover    B．discourage     C．surprise     D．a(chǎn)ttract．

I had decided to return home earlier than planned so that my son and his girlfriend could go out．I called home with this happy news．But instead of hearing his cheerful，grateful voice on the other end of the line，all I heard was the sound of a telephone ringing．
It was，I should point out，after 10 p．m．，when the two younger children should have been in bed．a(chǎn)nd when the two older children should have been answering the phone．"I'll give him a lesson，"I said．I decided they must be outside．Why they might be outside at 10：30 on a winter night I had no idea，but it was the only explanation I could come up with．
Finally，in desperation，I called his girlfriend's house．After what seemed like countless rings，his girlfriend answered．"Yes，"she said brightly，"He's right here．"
He came on the phone．I was not my usual calm，rational（理智的）self．After all，one of the rules of survival for modern parents is that you can't trust modern teenagers．"Where are the children？"I said．He said they were with him．They had done nothing wrong．My son had taken the younger children over to his girlfriend's house just for ice cream and cake．This was too good to be believed．Well，it turns out that I shouldn't have believed it．It was only part of the truth．

13．A new power plant in Nakoso，Japan，might someday change everything for coal plants．Since the new power plant fired up in September，the designer，Mistubishi，is expecting to prove it's possible to burn coal without polluting．This technology is known as integrated gasification combined cycle （IGCC）．Proving IGCC works should give Mitsubishi's US partner，NRG Energy，the jump other hurdles to building new clean plants．
The project promised to solve the problem of the ages for power plants：how to produce cheap，clean，reliable electricity．No existing technology can do all three perfectly．
The problem is IGCC isn't there yet．It costs about 20 percent more than traditional plants．And even though it's easier to collect the resulting carbon dioxide from an IGCC plant than a traditional plant，there's no proven way to get rid of the greenhouse gas．One plan is to drill a shaft（通道） to pump the carbon dioxide underground，into saltwater formations．But there's no guarantee it will remain underground forever．
NRG administrators think solving the IGCC riddles is worth the trouble because they expect the U．S．will soon limit the amount of carbon dioxide that power generators may give out．
"With the additional cost of IGCC，to just voluntarily build something that's 20 percent more expensive，that's commercial suicide，"NRG chief administrator，David Crane said．
NRG administrators expect the cost to decline after six or seven plants are built．But other industry experts think it will take about a dozen plants for the price to be competitive with traditional coal plants．
Takaya Watanabe，a vice general manager of Mitsubishi，admits that the cost challenges are difficult．"It's good for a company to say we want to be green，but unless someone is willing to pay，it's a dream．It won't keep our family eating rice，"he said．
64．What is expected of the new technology？A
A．To make electricity without polluting the air．
B．To produce energy without burning coal．
C．To keep the use of electricity cheaper．
D．To pump carbon dioxide more easily．
65．What's the biggest problem the companies are faced with？B
A．How to pump greenhouse gases．
B．How to deal with the high cost．
C．How to get along with other partners．
D．How to improve the new technology．
66．What can be inferred from the passage？D
A．New technologies are unacceptable to people．
B．It's unlikely to build more new power plants．
C．The companies are run on a tight budget．
D．Going green is easier said than done．

When some kind of pain killer was brought out recently，researchers found that the colours turned the cusstomers off  because they made the product look weak and ineffective．Eventually，it came on the market in a dark blue and white package-blue because we think of it as safe，and white as calm．
The size of a product can attract a shopper．But quite often a bottle doesn't contain as much as it appears to．
It is believed that the better-known companies spend，on average，70percent of the total cost of the product itself on packaging!
The most successful producers know that it's not enough to have a good product．The founder of Pears soap，who for 25years has used pretty little girls to promote （推銷） their goods，came to the conclusion："Any fool can make soap，but it takes a genius to sell it．"
