14、 could not speak a word of the language. After having spent my first day in the town-centre, I decided to lose my way on my second day, since I believed that this was the simplest way of getting to know the strange city, I got on the first bus that passed, rode on it for several stops, then got off

15、it and walked on. The first two hours passed pleasantly enough. Then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch. After walking about for some time, I decided I had better ask the way. The trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived and even the

16、n I pronounced it badly. I stopped to ask a friendly-looking newspaper-seller. He smiled and handed me a paper. I shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands. I had to give him some money and went on my way. The next person I asked was a policeman. The police

17、man listened to me carefully, smiled and gently took me by the arm. There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again. I thanked him politely and began walking in the direction he pointed. About an hour passed and I noticed that the houses were getting fewer and fewer

18、and green fields were appearing on either side of me. I had come all the way into the countryside. The only thing left for me to do was to find the nearest railway station.36The writer believed that if you wanted to get to know a strange city, _.Ayou should go everywhere on footByou should have a ma

28、ses 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 thinking. When you think critically, you take control of your thinking processes. Otherwise, you might be controlled by the ideas of other

29、s. Indeed, critical thinking is at the heart of education.The word “critical” here has a special meaning.

30、he 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 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, characte

31、rs, and facts, you are a critical thinker.Activities of the mind and higher-order reasoning are processes of deep and careful consideration.

These large orange and black insects brighten parks and gardens as they fly lightly among the flowers. What makes monarchs particularly interesting is that they migrateall the way to California or Mexic

37、o and back. They are thought to be the only insect that does this.Every year in the late summer monarchs begin their journey to the south. Those heading for Mexico go first for the Louisiana-Mississippi area, then fly across the Gulf of Mexico into Texas. Once in Mexico, they settle themselves in on

38、e of about fifteen places in a mountain forests filled with fir tress. Each place provides a winter home for millions of monarchs. The butterflies are so many that they often cover entire trees. When spring comes, they begin their long journey north.The question is often asked whether every butterfl

39、y makes the round-trip journey every year. And the answer is no. The average monarch lives about nine months. So one flying north might lay eggs in Louisiana and then die. The eggs of that generation may be found in Kentucky; the eggs of the next generation may end up in Wisconsin or Michigan. The l

40、ast generation of the season, about the fourth, will make their way back to Mexico and restart the journey.Scientist learn about monarchs migration by catching and making marks on the insects.

In comes one,” she said to the man in the house. The thief was so frightened that he hurriedly crawled out of the house and said to

44、the one waiting outside,“ She found me when I was just in.” But the thief outside didnt believe him, so he said, “Let us two try to crawl into the house together.” _52_The woman saw the mice and shouted , “In come two. Catch them!” _53_They started running away at once.The two thieves wanted to make

45、 it clear whether they had been found or not the night before. The next day they acted as men selling sweet potatoes and came before the house.
