9、 in Kuala Lumpur in the early 1960s, 18 children from different races and religions played and studied 19 in harmony. At that time my family lived a stones 20 from Ismails. And no one was bothered that Ismail was a Malay Muslim and I was an Indian Hinduwe just 21 our differences. Perhaps, our elders

25、as December 2018, and about 15 feet from the frozen banks was the source of that cry a half- submerged brown- and- white wirehaired dog, struggling to hold on to a thin layer of ice.How she got there no one knows, but an elderly man was already on the scene, determined to save her. Hed entered the p

26、ond in a rowboat and was hacking a way at the ice with a rock to create a path to the dog.It was slow going, and Arens, 44 , thought he stood a better chance. He took off his clothes, even though the temperature was -30 , and jumped into the rowboat.His heart beating fast, Arens slid closer to the d

27、og and used the other mans rock to smash away at the ice. He gave himself a strong pull and slipped off the boat, crashing into 1 6 feet of freezing water. He resurfaced in time to see the dog going under. Using nervous energy to keep warm, he swam about five feet toward her, grabbed hold of her col

28、lar, and pulled her to the ice. He then boosted the dog into the boat and slid it back to the shore, where anxious bystanders carried the dog to the home of the rowboat owner.Once in the house himself, Arens jumped into a warm shower with the dog until they both felt warmer.A few more minutes in the

29、 pond, the vet (兽医) told Arens, and she would have likely suffered heart failure.The next day, Arens was back working in the same neighborhood when the dogs owner came over to thank him for saving Sadie.Arens says, “ That special delivery was the highlight of my career.”41What does the underlined wo

32、?AA story of a pet lover.BA special delivery of a driver.CA dog suffering from heart attack.DA fight against freezing water.To learn to think is to learn to question. Those who dont question never truly think for themselves. These are simple rules that have governed the advancement of science and hu

33、man thought since the beginning of time. Advancements are made when thinkers question theories and introduce new ones. Unfortunately, it is often the great and respected thinkers who end up slowing the progress of human thought. Aristotle was a brilliant philosopher whose theories explained much of

34、the natural world, often incorrectly. He was so esteemed by the scientific community that even 1，200 years after his death, scientists were still trying to build upon his mistakes rather than correct them!Brilliant minds can intimidate upandcoming thinkers who are not confident of their abilities. T

35、hey often believe they are inferior to the minds of giants such as Aristotle, leading many to accept current paradigms instead of questioning them.I, like many thinkers of the past, once believed in my mental inferiority. I was certain that my parents, my teachers-adults in general-were always right

36、. They were like a textbook to me; I didnt question what was written on those pages. I respected them, and accepted whatever they told me. But that attitude soon changed. My minds independence was first stimulated in the classroom.A stern, 65yearold elementaryschool science teacher once told me that

37、 light is a type of wave. I confidently went through years of school believing that light is a wave. One day，however I heard the German exchange student mention that light could be made up of particles. As the others laughed at his statement, I started to question my beliefs.Maybe the teachers and t

38、extbooks hadnt given me the whole story. I went to the library, did some research and learned of the lightasawave versus lightasaparticle debate. I read about Einsteins discovery of the dual nature of light and learned the facts of a paradox(悖论) that puzzles the worlds greatest thinkers to this day.

39、 Light behaves as both a particle and a wave, it is both at once. I realized I had gone through life accepting only half of the story as the whole truth.Each new year brought more new facts, and I formulated even more questions. I found myself in the library after school, trying to find my own answe

40、rs to gain a more complete understanding of what I thought I already knew. I discovered that my parents and teachers are incredible tools in my quest for knowledge, but they are never the final word. Even textbooks can be challenged. I learned to question my sources, I learned to be a thinker. I onc

41、e believed that everything I learned at home and at school was certain, but I have now discovered to reexamine when necessary.Questions are said to be the path to knowledge and truth, and I plan to continue questioning. How many things do we know for sure today that we will question in the future? A

42、t this moment, I know that our sun will burn for another five billion years, and I know nothing can escape the gravity of a black hole. This knowledge, however, may change in the next 20 years-maybe even in the next two. The one thing we can control now is our openness to discovery. Questions are th

43、e tools of open minds, and open minds are the key to intellectual advancement.45In the first paragraph, Aristotle is taken as an example to show that _.Ahe is the greatest and respected philosopher of all timeBhuge influence of great thinkers may block human thoughtCadvancements are made when thinke
