6.Alone But Not Lonely
    In today's fast-paced society,we've become uncomfortable with silence.We try to find different types of activities that can help us escape feelings of laziness or boredom.(36)DSolitude(独处)does not have to be uncomfortable or lonely.In fact,solitude and loneliness are very different things.
    The death of a loved one or the inability to find people who understand you can leave you feeling lonely.Even if you are surrounded by other people,it's natural to experience an emptiness while longing for love or acceptance.(37)AGeoffrey F.Fisher once said,"In cities,no one is quiet but many are lonely.(38)E"
    We often fill loneliness with all types of unsatisfying activities.Young people would rather spend a Friday night out with strangers than spend the night alone.They're looking for a way to kill time while they await true friendship.Then there are young adults in gangs where they don't really like their companions.(39)BWhy does being alone scare us?
    Do not be afraid of silence.(40)FIt teaches you how to truly listen.It teaches you to pay attention to what's going on inside of you.Only when we are alone can we have the space and peace we need to think without being outwardly influenced.It therefore becomes easier to make important decisions as well as to reflect on how we are feeling.

A.Loneliness is therefore a feeling that can be experienced whether or not one is physically alone.
B.They would rather feel accepted on a shallow level than risk feeling alone.
C.The problem of loneliness can be easily solved in a modern world.
D.But,when doing so,the main thing we are trying to avoid is loneliness.
E.In the country,people are quiet but few are lonely.
F.It can provide you with amazing benefits.
G.It guides you through hardships.

4.Critical thinking is an important skill that can increase students'ability to learn in any situation.This can be applied 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 teachers should encourage are;
-asking questions as a reaction to something read or discussed;
-determining the"deeper meaning"of a particular passage or topic;
-providing input and opinions to topics as a direct result of analysis and research;
-reasoning in an effort to develop an argument of your own opinion.
It is important for a student to understand more than definition(定义).One way to truly understand an idea is to have hands-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,analyze 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.
52.Who are the intended readers of the passage?A
A.Teachers.B.Parents.
C.Examines.D.Headmasters.
