We were considering making an English magazine, and without hands-on experience we didn’t know how to start it. To get profession instructions, we left for Beijing to visit a chief editor of Beijing Review, the famous English journal. Busy as he was, he showed me around, explaining us the amazing history of the journal and its production process. Beside, he offered us lots of tip, which were practical and valuable. What make us especially happy was that when he promised to give us continuous guidance. Filling with confidence, we are now beginning to handle our magazine.
【答案】1. and → but.
2. profession → professional.
3. the → a.
4. me→ us.
5. explaining后加to.
6. Beside → Besides.
7. tip → tips.
8. make → made.
9.去掉when.
10. Filling → Filled.
【解析】
本文是记叙文。讲述了我们想创办一本英文杂志,向北京周刊的一位主编寻求经验的过程。
1. 考查连词。句意:我们考虑做一本英文杂志,但没有实际经验,我们不知道如何开始。根据句意可知前后句是转折关系,故and 改为but。
2. 考查形容词。修饰名词instructions用形容词,此处指专业的指导,故profession 改为professional。
3. 考查冠词。此处指Beijing Review是一本著名的英语杂志,第一次提到,表示“一个”用不定冠词,famous发音开头是辅音音素,故the改为 a。
4. 考查代词。与上文we left for Beijing一致,可知是主编带领我们四处转转,故me改为 us。
5. 考查介词。“向某人解释某事”是explain to sb. sth.或 explain sth.to sb. 故explaining后加to。
6. 考查副词。beside “在……旁边”,此处表示“此外”是besides,故Beside 改为Besides。
7. 考查名词复数。tip表示“建议”是可数名词,此处由lots of修饰用复数,故tip 改为tips。
8. 考查动词时态。本文讲述过去发生的事,此处与全文时态一致用一般过去时,故make 改为made。
9. 考查表语从句的引导词。句意:让我们特别高兴的是,他答应给我们持续的指导。What make us especially happy是主语从句,was后是表语从句,表语从句句意完整不缺少时间状语,用that引导。故去掉when。
10. 考查非谓语动词。表示“充满”是be filled with,此处作状语省去动词be,故Filling 改为Filled。

Why Do Smart People Do Foolish Things?
We all probably know someone who is intelligent but does surprisingly stupid things. What does it mean to be smart or intelligent? Our everyday use of the term is meant to describe someone who is knowledgeable and makes wise decisions, but this definition is at odds with how intelligence is traditionally measured. The most widely known measure of intelligence is the intelligence quotient, more commonly known as the IQ test, which includes visuospatial puzzles, math problems, pattern recognition, vocabulary questions and visual searches.
The advantages of being intelligent are undeniable. Intelligent people are more likely to get better grades and go farther in school. They are more likely to be successful at work. And they are less likely to get into trouble (for example, commit crimes) as adolescents.
Given all the advantages of intelligence, though, you may be surprised to learn that it does not predict other life outcomes, such as well-being. You might imagine that doing well in school or at work might lead to greater life satisfaction, but several large-scale studies have failed to find evidence that IQ impacts life satisfaction or longevity (长寿). Most intelligence tests fail to assess the extent of rational thinking, such as real-world decision-making and our ability to interact well with others. This is, in other words, perhaps why “smart” people do “dumb” things.
The ability to think critically, on the other hand, has been associated with wellness and longevity. Though often confused with intelligence, critical thinking is not intelligence. Critical thinking is a collection of cognitive (认知的) skills that allow us to think rationally (理性地) in a goal-orientated fashion and a disposition to use those skills when appropriate. Critical thinkers have self-confidence in their own abilities to reason. They possess great flexibility in requiring evidence to support their beliefs. Critical thinking means overcoming all kinds of cognitive biases (偏见).
Critical thinking predicts a wide range of life events. Researchers have found that critical thinkers experience fewer negative life events such as academic (“I forgot about an exam”), health (“I received HIV through unprotected sex”), legal (“I was arrested for driving under the influence”), interpersonal (“I cheated on my partner for more than a year”), financial (“I have over $5,000 of credit-card debt”), and so on.
Intelligence and improving intelligence are hot topics that receive a lot of attention. It is time for critical thinking to receive a little more of that attention. Reasoning and rationality more closely resemble what we mean when we say a person is smart rather than spatial skills and math ability. Furthermore, improving intelligence is difficult. Intelligence is largely determined by genetics. Critical thinking, though, can improve with training, and the benefits have been shown to continue over time. Anyone can improve their critical thinking skills. Doing so, we can say with certainty, is a smart thing to do.
