Anita’s New Start
Even though it was a beautiful spring day, Anita felt sad as she walked along the beach after school. Her family had moved to the USA three weeks earlier for her father’s new job. Anita missed her old home in Mexico. She wanted to eat her grandmother’s bread and play with her cousin.
Anita thought about her new life in Texas. She thought she would never learn this new language—everyone spoke so fast. How could she make new friends if she couldn’t even talk to people? “I’m too shy to make new friends anyway,” she thought, feeling disheartened. Anita decided to try something her mother had taught her. Her mother had said, “Anita, whenever you’re sad, take a few deep breaths and think about something that makes you happy.” Then Anita took a deep breath.
Suddenly a seagull(海鸥) called overhead. She remembered that she had saved some biscuits from lunch. She quickly threw a biscuit into the air. As the gull caught the biscuit in its mouth, she laughed. Just then, another gull landed near her and stood frozen. Anita noticed its wing was injured. She wanted to help, but didn’t know what to do.
At that moment Anita saw a man and a group of children in the distance. She recognized the man as Mr. Turner, a teacher at her school. He was pointing to something and all the children in the science club were listening to him. Anita decided that this was no time to be shy. She began walking toward the group. Anita took a deep breath. “Hello,” she said quietly. When Mr. Turner looked up, she pointed toward the gull and begged, “Come, please!” “Hello, Anita. What’s wrong?” Anita pointed again toward the bird. Mr. Turner gestured to the group. “Come on, everyone, Let’s see what Anita has found.” As the group followed Anita, she noticed a girl from her class. Anita smiled at the girl and spoke carefully, “What is your name?”

查看习题详情和答案>> Thinking is something you choose to do as a fish chooses to live in water. To be human is to think. But thinking may come naturally 
without your knowing how you do it. Thinking about drinking is the key to critical（判断性的）thinking. When you think critically, you take control of your thinking processes（过程）. Otherwise, you might be controlled by the ideas of others. Indeed, critical thinking is at the heart of education.
The word “critical” here has a special meaning. It does not mean taking one view against another view, as when someone criticizes another person for doing something wrong. The nature of critical thinking is thinking beyond the easily seen-beyond the pictures on TV, the untrue reports in the newspapers, and the faulty reasoning.
Critical thinking is an attitude as much as an activity. If you are curious about life and desire to dig deeper into it, you are a critical thinker. If you find pleasure in deep thinking about different ideas, characters, and facts, you are a critical thinker.
Activities of the mind and higher-order reasoning are processes of deep and careful consideration. They take time, and do not go hand in hand with the fast speed in today’s world: fast foods, instant coffee, and self-developing film. If you are among the people who believe that speed is a measure of intelligence（智力）, you may learn something new from a story about Albert Einstein. The first time Banesh Hoffman, a scientist, was to discuss his work with Albert Einstein. Hoffman was too nervous to speak. But Einstein immediately put Hoffman at ease by saying, “Please go slowly. I don’t understand things quickly.”
72．Critical thinking is important to us because if we do not think critically, _______.
A．it wi
ll be hard for us to think naturally and fast
B．we might be controlled by other people’s ideas
C．we will follow the ideas of others naturally
D．we might be footed by other people’s ideas
73．If you are a critical thinker, you will ________.
A．think deeply about different ideas B．trust the reports in the newspapers
C．take one view against another view D．criticize other people for their mistakes
74．In the last paragraph, “something new” suggests that ________.
A．the smarter you are, the faster you do things
B．the faster you do things, the smarter you become
C．speed can improve intelligence
D．intelligence is not decided by speed
75．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Thinking and Critical Thinking. B．Understanding Critical Thinking.
C．Thinking Is Natural and Human. D．Thinking Fast Means Intelligence.
