As an exchange student, I have been staying in a host family in Beijing for the past five months. The parents are 36 in their mid-30s and the son just turned 5. In exchange for room and board, I teach their son 37 .
Like in many of the other Chinese families, he’s an only child. And though he has 38 plastic trucks and boxes full of crayons, I don’t know 39 he has the time to play. When he’s not in the kindergarten, he’s taking after-school classes. On the weekends, the boy goes to more classes. He has one day off―Sunday.
Compared to his schedule, I feel like my childhood was 40 a waste of time. I learned how to climb trees and draw cartoons. I wasn’t learning Chinese at his age. But he and lots of other children are learning English. Both his parents dream that he will have 41 jobs, higher pay, and bigger houses.
The boy seems to take no interest 42 learning English. He doesn’t need a teacher, but a playmate. He is, 43 , only 5. When I think about my life as a 5-year-old, I know for sure I wasn’t half as 44 as he is.
In the evening, when his parents 45 him to speak with me in English, he gets 46 . He lies on the floors, hides under the table and climbs on the furniture. When he finally stops 47 , and starts talking, it isn’t in English, but it isn’t in Chinese, 48 . He speaks in his own language.
He 49 not be a very good student, but I’m not a great teacher. I just want to be his big brother 50 can speak in gibberish(胡言亂語) with him and help draw trucks, robots or spiders.

In one way, it may be thought that failure is a part of life. In another, failure may be regarded as a step towards success.
The “spider story” is often told as an example of this. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a hole on a hill from the English. He watched a spider(蜘蛛) making a web（網(wǎng)）. Bruce is said to have got confidence from this and to have gone on to beat the English. Edison, too, the inventor of the light bulb(電燈泡), made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one.
So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were you in high spirit then? What can you change so that things will go right the next time?
Second, is the goal you are trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goal may be. Think about this question: If I am successful in this, where will it get me?” This may help to prevent failure in the things you shouldn’t be doing anyway.
The third thing to remember about failure is that it’s a part of life. Learn to “l(fā)ive with yourself!” even though you may have failed. Remember, “You can’t live with them all.”

|
A．people who failed are not lonely |
|
B．a(chǎn)nimals can help people sometimes |

2.Edison’s example shows us that __________.
|
A．he liked to do other kinds of work |
|
B．he invented many kinds of light bulbs |
|
C．failure may be a way towards success |
|
D．he was a man of many important inventions |
3.If you are not sure about what success will get you, you’d better ______.
|
A．change your goal |
|
B．go on with your goal |
|
C．not care for that |
|
D．work even harder on your goal |
4.It can be learned from the passage that __________.
|
A．one should try not to fail |
|
B．one’s failure is another’s success |
|
C．one should take failures seriously |
|
D．one should learn lessons from failures |
5.This passage is mainly about _________.

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 thinking is the key to critical(批判性的) thinking. When you think critically, you take control of your thinking processes（過程）. 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 interested in life and want 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（推理）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（尺度）of intelligence（智慧）, 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 made Hoffman feel comfortable by saying, “Please go slowly. I don’t understand things quickly.”
1.Critical thinking is important to us because if we do not think critically, _______.
A．it will 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 fooled by other people’s ideas
2.If you are a critical thinker, you will ________.
A．take one view against another view
B．trust the reports in the newspapers
C．think deeply about different ideas
D．criticize other people for their mistakes
3. In the last paragraph, “something new” suggests that ________.
A．speed can improve intelligence
B．intelligence is not decided by speed
C．the smarter you are, the faster you do things
D．the faster you do things, the smarter you become
