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．

3．Respect your teachers
First of all，students should respect the teachers．They should pay attention in the classes．That means to salute him，to stand from his chair when the teacher enters the classroom etc．Attend any lesson attentively．In class of a certain subject or teacher you don't like very much，if it's total anarchy（混乱），how can we talk about respect？
Play by the rules
If your teacher wants you to use wide-lined paper-do it!If she tells you to sharpen your pencils only before class starts，listen to her．If she doesn't accept late homework，do yours on time．Sometimes classroom rules seem strict or even silly，but most teachers know what's necessary to make things run smoothly，what it takes to let the learning begin．And the better the learning environment，the smarter you'll be!
Expect her/him to like you．
Teachers are teachers because they like kids．Given the chance，most teachers want to be your friends too．Respect your teacher，but don't be afraid of her/him．She/He wants you to have a great school year just as much as you want to have!
Put first things first．
Friends are a fun part of school．But they're not the most important part．When your teacher is teaching，give her/him your full attention．Even when it's hard to do--recess will come soon enough，and that's the time for playing with your friends．

2．CAt one time it was the dream of many little girls to become a nurse．Today，however，America is facing its worst nurse shortage since World War I．Recently about 2，000，000nurses are needed and 60percent of all hospitals in the US have shortages large enough to threaten（=say that you will hurt somebody if they don't do what you want） the quality of care provided．The demand for nurses spreads widely throughout the nursing field．
What has become of these women in white？The answer lies in not one but several causes．One possibility is the fact that women have greater career options（职业选择）．In the past，women who chose to work outside the home had two basic choices：nursing or teaching．Today，more women than ever are in the work force，but their choices have greatly increased．There are women doctors，lawyers，firefighters and police officers．In fact，women today are found in nearly every field of work．Nursing has been left behind，as women move on to jobs with higher pay and greater status（地位）．A woman or man in the nursing field is often looked down upon as"just a nurse"．Teachers may be also at fault．Many high school students are actually being steered（劝导） away from nursing，told by teachers that they are"too bright to be a nurse"．
Americans are living longer than ever and requiring more medical attention．In fact，the number of elderly patients has almost doubled in the past twenty years．Obviously a larger population requires more nurses．AIDS and other diseases have caused more and more people to need nursing care．Usually fatal diseases mean long hospital stay，that is to say，more nurses are needed to care for these patients．It is estimated that the demand for nurses will be doubled the supply in the coming ten years．

1．A good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading．It is remarkable first for what it contains：the range of news from local crime to international politics，from sport to business to fashion to science，and the range of comment and special features（特定）as well，from editorial page to feature articles and interviews to criticism of books，art，theatre and music．A newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it：never completely，never straight through，but always by jumping from here to there  in and out glancing at one piece reading another article all the way through，reading just a few paragraphs of the next．A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers，but far more than any one reader is interested in．What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality（时事性），its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now．But immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it mean also that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than transient （短暂的  ） value．For all these reasons，no two people really read the same paper：what each person does is to put together out of the pages of that day's paper，his own selection and sequence，his own newspaper．For all these reasons，reading newspapers efficiently，which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time，demands  skill and self-awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading．
