    I spotted (发现;认出) him at the checkout counter, bagging at No.14. His arms shook violently as he placed a box of eggs into a plastic bag. He wore a name card upon which he had wiritten “Jerry” in kindergarten handwriting. He looked middle-aged but his mental age must have been about 12.

    Ever since I smiled at him the first time he bagged my groceries at my local supermarket, Jerry has followed me around like an adoring fan. His lack of boundaries makes me uncomfortable. I don’t know how to avoid being noticed by him. I don’t want to speak to the manager — my complaint could get him fired. So I started avoiding him.

    I can still remember the hurt I felt when I was 10 and our neighbor Mrs. Ward didn’t respond when I said hello with David and Diane. Instead, she hurried out of the supermarket, leaving me holding my brother and sister’s hands. I realized at that moment that I hated Mrs. Ward’s reaction. Why, then, years later, was I acting as she had?

    I picked up a magazine Real Simple. The beautiful photos did nothing to straighten out the guilt in me. I was being ridiculous. The last three times I have seen Jerry, I rushed. There are other stores, but I chose this one because it employs people with disabilities. I want people like my brothers to have jobs. I don’t want them to be ignored, the way I am avoiding Jerry.

    1.We know from the text that Jerry ________

    A. suffered from fragile X syndrome

    B. had a mental age not matching his real age

    C. couldn’t write his name

    D. only had a kindergarten education

    2.Why did the author feel uncomfortable?

    A. Jerry was like a fan of her

    B. Real Simple couldn’t straighten out her guilt

    C. Jerry always stepped on her feet

    D. Jerry didn’t keep a proper distance from her

    3.We can infer from the text that ________.

    A. there are many people like Mrs. Ward

    B. the store the author visited treated the disabled equally

    C. most employees in the supermarket are disabled

    D. the store manager ignored people with disabilities

    4.What is the author’s attitude towards people with disabilities?

    A. cautious B. unconcerned

    C. ridiculous D. caring

    My friend’s grandfather came to America from a farm in Thailand. After arriving in New York, he went into a cafeteria(自助餐厅) in Manhattan to get something to eat. He sat down at an empty table and waited for someone to take his order. Of course nobody did. Finally, a woman with a big plate full of food came up to him. She sat down opposite him and told him how a cafeteria worked.

    “Start out at that end,” she said, “Just go along the line and choose what you want. At the other end they’ll tell you how much you have to pay.”

    “I soon learned that’s how everything works in America,” the grandfather told my friend later, “Life’s a cafeteria here. You can get anything you want as long as you want to pay the price.

    Thinking is something you choose to do as a fish chooses to live in water. To be human is to think constantly. But thinking may come naturally without your knowing how you do it. Thinking about thinking is the key to critical(判断性的) thinking. When you think critically, you take control of your thinking processes to construct your own ideas. Otherwise, you might be controlled by others’ ideas. Indeed, critical thinking is at the heart of education.

    The word “critical” here contains a special meaning. It doesn’t 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 which are often not consistent with reality, the untrue and controversial reports in the newspapers, and the faulty and contradictory reasoning.

    Critical thinking is an attitude as much as an activity. If you are curious about life and desire 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 are processes of deep and careful consideration. They take time, and do not consist with the fast speed in today’s world: fast food, instant coffee, and self-developing film. If you are among the people who believe that speed is a measure of intelligence, you may learn something new from a story about Albert Einstein, who made great contributions to science during his life. The first time Banesh Hoffman, a contemporary scientist, was to consult Albert Einstein about his work, Hoffman was too nervous to speak. but Einstein was very considerate and immediately put Hoffman at ease by saying, “Please go slowly. I don’t understand things quickly.”

    1.Critical thinking is important to us because if we don’t 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. think deeply about different ideas

    B. trust the reports in the newspapers

    C. take one view against another view

    D. criticize other people for their mistakes

    3.In the last paragraph, “something new” suggests that ___________________.

    A. the smarter you are, the faster you do things

    B. the faster you do things, the smarter you become

    C. speed can improve intelligence

    D. intelligence is not decided by speed

    4. What would be the best title for the passage?

    A. Thinking and Critical Thinking

    B. Understanding Critical Thinking

    C. Thinking is Natural and Human

    D. Thinking Fast Means Intelligence
