It takes time to practice critical thinking （批判性思维）, but it’s never too late to start. The following three steps will help people to become critical thinkers.

Step 1: 21 Critical thinkers start by asking questions. They ask themselves: If this, then what? If that, then how will the result be different? They may think about all possible ideas before they make decisions.

Step 2: 22 Critical thinkers search for answers. They make use of all possible tools or interview people for information. Then they analyze(分析) the information with an open mind. They compare and decide what the best answers are.

Step 3: 23 After critical thinkers get new ideas to work out problems, they share these ideas with their teammates and get support from them. During communication with others, better ideas often come up.

Emma Dreams Big
It was warm outside. Emma was looking through the window and thinking of riding her horse Star after school.
“Emma! Could you please turn in your homework?” Mrs. James called her.
“I don’t have my homework with me, Emma turned back and said.” I forgot to put it in my schoolbag after I did it.
“Emma, you’re such a smart girl, but you’re always daydreaming. I may have to talk with your parents, ”Mrs. James said. “Now, class, clear your desks. Let’s welcome our guest, Doctor Landon. He is a vet and he came here today as part of our Career Explorations（职业探索）program.”
Doctor Landon talked about how important grades were and how he tried hard with math when he was a kid. But Emma didn’t listen carefully until a word caught her attention. Horse.
“On most days of a week, I travel across the county to take care of horses. It is a lot of work, but I love it.
Emma’s mouth fell open. “What a life that is, she thought. At that moment, Emma could see her future. She was going to be a vet and take care of horses too!
After school, Emma made new plans. She would spend an hour studying math before riding Star. She also decided to spend half an hour every night studying science even if she didn’t have any homework. Doctor Landon said those were important subjects to study if you wanted to be a vet.

Many studies have shown the learning-by-teaching effect. Students who spend time teaching what they’ve learned show better understanding and ability to remember knowledge than students who simply spend the same time re-studying. But why does teaching help?
Researchers led by Aloysius Wei Lun Koh did a study to test their idea that teaching improves the teacher’s learning because it forces the teacher to retrieve（检索）what they’ve learned. In other words, they believe that bringing to mind what we’ve learned leads to deeper and longer-lasting acquisition（获得）of that information than spending more time re-studying.
The researchers asked 124 students to spend ten minutes studying a text with numbers on a topic which is completely new to them. They told the students they could take notes while studying, but would teach the material afterwards without notes. After studying the text, the students were divided into four groups. In one group the students spent five minutes delivering a lesson on the study material without notes. The other groups either spent the same time completing arithmetic（算术）problems, teaching with a script（讲稿）or writing down all they could remember from the text-a form of retrieval practice. A week later, all the students returned to the lab for a surprise test of their knowledge and understanding of the text.
The important finding is that the teaching-without-notes group and the retrieval-practice group outperformed the group that completed arithmetic problems and the group that taught with a script. In fact,the performance of the teaching-without-notes group and the retrieval-practice group was comparable.
The researchers said the result shows that the benefits of the learning-by-teaching method are caused by retrieval practice; that is, the learning-by-teaching method works only when the teaching involves retrieving the taught materials.
The new findings have a practical suggestion for how the learning-by-teaching method is used in education. In order to make sure that students learn and remember an educational material, they should internalize（内化）the material before presenting it to others, rather than depend on notes during the presentation process.
27．Why did the researchers do the study?
A．To compare different methods of learning.
B．To test whether teaching can improve learning.
C．To find out the reason why people like teaching.
D．To check the reason for learning-by-teaching effect.
28．Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________.
A．how long the study lasted B．who took part in the study
C．what result the study showed D．how the study was performed
29．What can we learn from the study?
A．Teaching with a script is the best way of learning.
B．Teaching benefits learning because of retrieval practice.
C．Solving arithmetic problems is harder than doing other tasks.
D．Presenting with notes can help students remember a material.

Technology has done our world wonders: from development in medicine, travel, communication, to our day-to-day lives. It has undoubtedly changed the way our society works, and how we communicate with one another and ourselves. However, by completely welcoming technology as a part of everyday life, are we losing our ability to create?
Technology presents a new platform for creativity to exist(存在)on. Through technology, ideas can be set free and come to life in the physical world. We have the necessary tools for greater possibilities and new solutions. For example, businesses now have the opportunity to improve themselves more creatively through websites, film advertisements,social media or radio.
However, when we look more closely, it’s easy to notice some disadvantages. For example, many of us depend so heavily on automated calculations(自动计算)nowadays, rather than taking the time to work it out for ourselves. Another obvious situation is that a lot of people are spending too much time on screens. As a result, they are reducing the opportunities to come up with their own creations.
Is there a way to find a balance between technology and human creativity? I think so. It is simply a matter of making sure that creativity is not deterred by technology. The first way is to reduce our usage of digital devices(数字设备)by setting limits on when, where, and how long we use them,turning off the notifications(通知)on your phone, or putting your phone on “Do Not Disturb”. Once you become used to these, you will feel surprised how little you think about your phone.
Another wonderful way is to take daily walks in the nature. It can help you reset, rebalance, and keep going. In the long run, a daily walk can not only influence our creativity and imagination but further our physical and mental(思想的)health. We can also develop our creativity by doing yoga, keeping a journal, or reading.
The key to the survival(生存)of our creativity starts with us. Will you put your phone away when spending time with friends? Will you try to find happiness and purpose outside of a screen? The actions you choose to take will help change the relationship between creativity and technology for the better.
30．Why does the writer talk about businesses in Paragraph 2?
A．To stress the importance of creativity.
B．To suggest good ways to develop technology.
C．To show the effect that technology has on creativity.
D．To explain the relationship between business and creativity.
31．The word “deterred”in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”.
A．examined B．controlled C．replaced D．prevented
32．The writer probably agrees that ________.
A．limiting the usage of our phones can help us develop creativity
B．spending time on screens is the easiest way to keep people happy
C．turning off the notifications on the phone will make people worried
D．a daily walk does more good to physical health than to mental health
33．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A．Technology: How Does It Help Develop Creativity?
B．Creativity in a World of Technology: Does It Exist?
C．Technology and Creativity: Which Is More Important?
D．Technology and Creativity: How Do They Influence Each Other?

Why Is Tai Ji the Perfect Exercise?
While it is easy to tell people to make exercise part of their daily routine, it is not so easy to tell them what to do. Some people like to run or climb mountains, but if you care for your body with less hurt, Tai Ji is the perfect exercise. Its goal is to improve strength and balance.
There are several styles of Tai Ji, but most of them start with a set of controlled movements. There are many good how-to books to get you started, or you can choose from classes offered at health clubs. Either way, you can move at your own pace.
Practitioners praise Tai Ji’s benefits, but what has attracted the attention of Western scientists lately is what Tai Ji does for the body. In many ways, researchers are just catching up to millions of people in China and Chinatowns around the rest of the world, who have already known about Tai Ji. Scientists at the Oregon Research Institute reported that Tai Ji offers the greate
