According to a report on the World Economic Forum (2016), critical thinking, creativity, and their practical application* are widely accepted as the top three skills that young people need to possess * in their future career. A good critical thinker usually takes the following steps before he decides what to do. Whenever he needs to do something, he would, first of all, reason. He checks why he needs to do it and whether he really needs to do it. Then, analyze. He tries to find out what it really is and the best way to do it. After that, evaluate. He makes sure whether he is able to do it and how to do it well. Finally, he makes the decision and takes action. Take the “Double 11” (a popular online shopping day in China) as an example. A few days before it, he checks carefully what he needs and whether he really needs them, and makes a shopping list. He goes to the online shops to compare the quality and the prices of the things that he is going to buy. He compares the shops that sell these things. Then he checks whether he can afford them and in which shops he is going to buy them. Although it takes him some time to make the decisions, he would not regret after the shopping. Then what would happen if he didnt think critically before he made the decisions? After the crazy “Double 11”, there were usually a lot of complaints on the Internet. There were regrets about buying more things than they needed. There were complaints about the poor quality and the prices of the things they bought. There were also complaints because they received wrong things or simply received nothing. There were all kinds of regrets and complaints. Why so? They had not thought critically before they made the decisions. Critical thinking helps you make wiser decisions. It helps you avoid wasting time, money and so on. Therefore, do look before you leap.33. According to the passage, critical thinking is a thinking skill that_. A. helps make better choices B. will appear in the future C. helps make quick decisions D. makes us spend more money34. In Paragraph 2, how does the critical thinker analyze the things he may buy? A.

Which of the following examples is the use of “critical thinking”? A. Daming did a new science experiment before reading instructions. B. Linglings parents became very angry when they knew her bad marks. C. After looking at the other team-s weak points, the coach made a new plan. D. After hearing the stranger s words, the girl followed him into a supermarket. D Stuffy Pete sat down on a bench in the New York City Park. It was the third bench to the left as you enter the park from the east. Every Thanksgiving Day for nine years, an Old Gentleman had come to find Stuffy there at one in the afternoon. He led Stuffy to a restaurant and watched him eat a big dinner He was trying to make it a tradition. Stuffy had just come from a dinner so big that he had almost no power to move. How he expected that gentleman would not come this year! Then his eyes grew wider and his breath stopped. The Old Gentleman was thin and tall, dressed all in black. He wore eye-glasses. His hair was whiter and thinner than it was last year. His legs did not seem as strong as they had seemed the year before, but he moved, straight and proud, to Stuffy and toward the tradition that he was building. “I am glad to see everythings fine with you. For that blessing you and I can give thanks on this day of thanksgiving. If you will come with me, my man, I will give you a dinner that will surely make your body feel as thankful as your mind,” said the gentleman. The words themselves were almost a tradition* Stuffy was very full, but he understood that his desire* for food on Thanksgiving Day was not his own. It belonged to this kind gentleman. The gentleman led Stuffy to the restaurant and to the same table where they had always gone. He sat at the table, watching. The turkey and all the other food were gone almost as quickly as they appeared Stuffy saw the look of happiness on the gentlemans face. He continued to eat to keep it there. In an hour the battle was finished. “Thank you for my Thanksgiving dinner,” Stuffy stood up heavily. They said goodbye, as they did each year, at the door. Stuffy went around the first corner, stood for one minute, and fell. H
