Criticism is judgment. A critic is a judge. A judge must study and think about the material presented to him, accept it, correct it or reject it after thinking over what he has read, watched or heard.
Another word for criticism is appreciation. When I criticize or appreciate some object or another, I look for its good points and bad points. In reading any printed or written matter, I always have a pencil in hand and put any comments in the book or on a separate paper. In other words, I always talk back to the writer.
That sort of critical reading might well be called creative reading because I am thinking along with the author, asking him questions, seeing whether he answers the questions and how well he answers them. I mark the good passages to store them in my memory piece of writing; where, how and why could or should I improve upon it
You might think that doing what I suggested is work. Yes, it is, but the work is a pleasure because I can feel my brain expanding, my emotion reacting and my way of living change.
Reading exercises is a great influence on a person. If pictures, still or moving, accompany the reading, the memory will retain the material for a long time.
Just as evil books can corrupt, so also can good books gradually work a change on a corrupt person.
Let's get back to the beneficial effects of thinking while reading. It helps us to enlarge our minds. We understand more about the universe, its people and many of its wonders. We learn to think and observe in new ways. We certainly do get a feeling for the language we are reading. All good writers in any language have been readers who read critically and continuously.
24. According to the writer, creative reading is ________.
A. raising questions and answering them for the author
B. reading and giving comments on the materials one has read
C. thinking in the same line with the author
D. storing up facts in one's memory
25. The writer says a critic ________.
A. asks what he does not understand
B. talks back to the author
C. understand the background on which the works are based
D. looks for the good and bad points of the material he has read
26. By the phrase “thinking along with” in the third paragraph, the writer means________.
A. following one's thought closely B. accepting
C. considering D. agreeing
27. We can learn from the passage that all good readers ________.
A. understand more about their surrounding than others.
B. have a thorough insight to the problem in life.
C. have the feeling of the language they read.
D. have read extensively and critically
C
As we all know, children are fast learners when learning a second language. However, adults can study a second language as fast as children, a new study reports. Adults can develop the increased neural connections with language study that can avoid dementia (痴呆) by four years, as well as make traveling a lot easier.
In an examination of Spanish second-language learners, the researchers found that after simplest training, the brain activity between sentences that relied on grammatical features unique to each language was similar to that of native speakers. “I think it is the reason why people think university foreign language teaching is good. It shows that, even with limited time in the college classroom, learning can happen quite quickly and well,” said professor Alison Gabriele, the co-author of the paper.
Beyond that, it gives parents more reasons to study a second language as part of a family effort. Further research has shown that learning a language as a family effort improves everyone’s abilities and gives opportunities for learning something that are mostly absent from classroom settings. National Geographic reports in an interview with Christine Jernigan, author of Family Language Learning: Learn Another Language, Raise Bilingual Children, that as for immersion (沉浸) in language study, practicing a second language with people is the most important part, and who talks to each other more than a family Language learners need to be brave. Besides, they should ready themselves for making mistakes and receive others’ advice.
Most people will be far more comfortable making mistakes around family members than in a classroom setting. Furthermore, any home activity, whether that’s gardening, playing in the yard, watching movies, going shopping, cleaning, or cooking a meal, becomes an opportunity for language learning. Jernigan suggests preparing vocabulary before an activity and using it as short homework. Jernigan suggests using subtitles (字幕) too, so you can see which words are being used.
28．What does the new study in paragraph 1 find
A．Kids often travel a lot on their own.
B．Adults have learnt a second language better than kids.
C．Adults can study a second language as quickly as kids.
D．Kids are likely to develop the increased neural connections.
29．What does Alison Gabriele think of learning a language in the college classroom
A．It is successful. B．It is challenging. C．It is disappointing. D．It is boring.
30．What is the advantage of learning a language as a family effort
A．Helping kids form good learning habits. B．Making parents control kids easily.
C．Keeping kids focusing on the classroom. D．Having more chances to learn in other situations.
31．What should language learners do according to the text
A．Be brave to take more risks. B．Fit in with new learning environment.
C．Be willing to accept other’s comments. D．Spend much time doing home activities.
D
As the concept of emotional intelligence (EI) has gone global, we’ve watched professionals fail as they try to improve their emotional intelligence because they either don’t know where to focus their efforts or they haven’t understood how to improve these skills on a practical level. In our work consulting with companies and coaching leaders, we have found that if you’re looking to develop particular EI strengths, it helps to consider areas for improvement others have identified along with the goals you want to achieve-and then to actively build habits in those areas rather than simply relying on understanding them conceptually.
The first step is to get a sense of how your self-perception (how you see yourself) differs from your reputation (how others see you). This is especially true for the development of EI because we can be blind to how we express and read the emotional components of our interactions. For example, most of us think that we’re good listeners, but very often that’s really not the case. Without this external reality check, it will be difficult for you to identify the ways that your actions affect your performance. Getting feedback from others can also provide proof of the necessity of shifting our behavior and motivation to do so.
To give you the best sense of where the differences lie between your self-perception and reputation, you should use a 360-degree feedback assessment that takes into account the multiple aspects of EI. The key is to find one to give you feedback, which is focused on development and not on performance assessment. And that can give you a detailed understanding of how other people’s assessments of you differ from your own assessments.
Secondly, when you get your feedback from an assessment, let that inform what you want to improve. But also consider what your goals are. When it comes to cultivating strengths in emotional intelligence, you’re at a huge disadvantage if you’re only interested because others say you should be. Your emotional intelligence is so tied up in your sense of self that being intrinsically (内在的) motivated to make the effort matters more when changing longstanding habits than it does when simply learning a skill.
That means the areas that you choose to actively work on should lie at the intersection of the feedback you’ve gotten and the areas that are most important to your own aspirations. Understanding the influences of your current EI habits relative to your goals will keep you going over a long period of time as you do the work of strengthening your emotional intelligence.
32. What do we know from the first paragraph
A. Professionals fail to understand the concepts of EI.
B. EI plays a key role in professional development.
C. Leaders are badly in need of improving their EI.
D. You know how to improve EI better with others’ help.
33. According to the passage, which of the following is an “external reality check”
A. You got help from your parents when making a key decision.
B. Your teacher directed you towards a better attitude in study.
C. You reflected yourself and made a New Year Resolution.
D. Your career development speeds up with the guidance of others.
34. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4
A. It’s most reliable to follow your inner call when you want to improve your EI.
B. It’s hard for others to know your EI because it hides deeply behind your inner sense.
C. When you want to improve EI, you should take your goals into consideration.
D. Acquiring a new skill is more significant than your attempt to improve your EI.
35. Which of the following might the author agree with
A. Effective EI development is determined by different factors.
B. EI development is unlikely to happen unless you know what EI really is.
C. The importance of performance assessment is underestimated.
D. Your inner self discourages you from improving your EI.

Time for Americans to act on climate change
The climate crisis is worsening at a rate that is becoming harder and harder to ignore. For more than two decades, scientific reports have made it clear that global warming is real, that humans cause it and that the consequences will be disastrous.
The scientific community has become increasingly panicked over the past year. The latest assessment from the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change painted a far more terrible picture than its previous analyses, and the long-awaited National Climate Assessment made clear that climate change represents a severe threat to human health as well as our economic security. Out of this panic came the treaty(条约)reached this past weekend by world leaders to keep the Paris climate agreement alive.
Yet many Americans still don't regard the threat as a key priority for our government, and support President Trump's decision to withdraw from the Paris treaty. Campaign contributions from fossil fuel companies have convinced elected officials to look the other way. A certain amount of despair has resulted in widespread apathy(漠然).
But there is another reason that has been discussed far less openly. While a growing number of people understand that climate change will have significant worldwide consequences, many Americans have an intuitive(直觉的)belief that their nation is more capable than others of adapting to a changed environment. Why Because they have before.
This historical success, however, resulted from the federal government taking science seriously, and making investments to urge revolution and innovation.
But these innovations did not happen by themselves, or simply because of the United States' rich resources. They depended on consistent support from the leaders about the need to take action when faced with crises. This has been especially true in the environmental crisis.
President Bill Clinton had a shockingly modest record of advancing climate security, particularly given that his vice president, Al Gore, had been one of the most outspoken environmentalists in Congress. By far Clinton's biggest accomplishment was assigning Gore to participate n thе Куоtо Рrоtoсоl negotiations. Сl ntоn сhо е, hоwеvеr, tо аvо d whаt urеlу wоuld have been a terrible fight in the Senate to gain approval of the treaty. While this effort probably would have failed, it would have signaled to the American people how seriously the Democratic Party took climate change.
Thus, the time has clearly arrived for progressive candidates to start campaigning on a platform built around the need for a sustainability revolution. Such a plan should include a carbon tax, well-funded clean energy research, evolved agricultural policies and smarter public transport. Given that Generation X and millennials(千禧一代)never bought into the fiction that the United States is immune to the dangers of global warming, the time is ripe to make climate security a crucial government responsibility. Only by doing so can we begin the long-overdue(拖延好久的)campaign to save the planet.
Time for Americans to act on climate change
Introduction More and more people have become ___66_____ of the severity of climate crisis. It is human beings that are to ___67_____ for the real global warming and should ___68_____ for what they have done.
Worldwide efforts Given that human health as well as our economic security is ___69_____ a severe threat caused by climate change, Paris Climate Treaty has been reached by world leaders.
Current American's responses A negative attitude Unable to grasp the seriousness of the threat, many Americans are in ____70____ of President Trump's decision to withdraw from the Paris treaty.
____71____ for responses Elected officials turn a deaf ear to the threat on account of their ___72_____ relationship with fossil fuel companies. A certain amount of despair has resulted in widespread apathy. Many Americans are wildly ____73____ about their ability to a changed environment.
Earlier American's responses A(n) ____74____ attitude Wisely assigning his vice president to participate in the Kyoto Protocol negotiations, President Bill Clinton took climate change seriously.
Inspiration form responses The Democratic Party used to take adequate notice of the potential crisis of the climate change.
_____75___ It is high time for Americans to begin the long-overdue campaign to save the planet.
