21、Critical reading is active reading. It involves more than just understanding what an author is saying. Critical reading involves questioning and evaluating what the author is saying and forming your own opinions. 【1】

● Consider the context of what is written.

You may be reading something that was written by an author from a different cultural context than yours. Or, you may be reading something written some time ago in a different time context than yours. In either case, you must recognize and take into account any differences between your values and attitudes and those represented by the author.

● 【2】

Don’t accept what is written at face value. Before accepting what is written, be certain that the author provides sufficient support for any statements made. Look for facts, examples, and statistics that provide support. Also, look to see if the author has integrated the work of authorities.

● Analyze assumptions made by the author.

Assumptions are whatever the author must believe is true in order to make statements. 【3】 This means you must read carefully in order to identify any assumptions. Once you identify an assumption, you must decide whether or not the assumption is valid.

● 【4】

In doing this, be certain that the sources are reliable. For example, Einstein is a reliable source if the author is writing about landmark achievements in physics. 【5】 Einstein is not a relevant source when the subject is poetry. Finally if the author is writing about a subject in its current state, be sure that the sources are current. For example, studies done by Einstein in the early 20th century may not be appropriate if the writer is discussing the current state of knowledge in physics.

A．Evaluate the sources the author uses.

B．Question statements made by the author.

C．Also be certain that the sources are relevant.

D．Identify any possible prejudice the author has.

E．Here are the things you should do to be a critical reader.

F．The reasons why you should be a critical reader are as follows.

G．In many cases, the author’s assumptions are not directly stated.

22、When I read that we spend almost three hours every day checking our smartphones, I was shocked. What was I missing in the real world when walking down the street, lost in a virtual world of social media updates and videos of dogs on bicycles? I promised myself I would use my smartphone less, but it didn’t happen. Then one day my phone died and I had to wait a week for a new one.【1】I thought it would be hard, but in fact it was quite easy—and surprising in a good way for a number of reasons!

The first consequence was quite amazing—On the first day in the office without my phone, I was thinking more deeply and concentrating more. I rediscovered my brain!【2】Another consequence was that I actually talked to people more and felt more connected to them. I realized I was being more responsive to their news and sympathetic to their problems because I wasn’t constantly checking my phone. 【3】Their kindness made me feel welcome, and I discovered my brain has very good GPS!

At the very beginning, I was worried that I would be bored without my phone, but actually I enjoyed it—I’d forgotten how much I love books and newspapers.【4】And I also sensed that I slept so much better and felt more awake in the morning.

At times it was inconvenient to have no mobile internet connection, but all in all, there were a lot of benefits from not being connected 24/7. So, if you think you use your smartphone too much, put it away for a few days and see what happens.【5】

A．Would I survive?

B．What’s the problem?

C．You never know, you may become smarter!

D．Without a phone at hand I was more productive.

E．Reading everyday made me feel a lot more special.

F．I’m a lot more careful about how much I use it now.

G．Another day I was in a new city and I asked people for directions.

23、Westerners usually don’t think of China as having a rich tradition of making comics, and discussions of Chinese comics focus on manhua, the Chinese comics that were inspired by Japanese manga. It’s true that most of the comics being produced now are manhua. 【1】 From their beginnings in the 1920s until their popularity bottomed out in the 1990s, lianhuanhua were some of the most widely read literature in the country.

Most of the lianhuanhua that can still be found in China were printed in the late 1970s and 1980s. 【2】 The lianhuanhua industry began in Shanghai during the 1920s and 30s. Some scholars even trace the origins to Song Dynasty scrolls(卷轴).

Using newly imported printing techniques, publishers began releasing periodicals (期刊) that contained stories and illustrations. 【3】 There were various regional names, such as “book of little people”. Some of these stories were text accompanied by images while others used speech bubbles or text inserted into the image. The most popular series from the magazines were reprinted in palm-size paperbacks, and before long rental shops sprang up in alleyways throughout the city. 【4】

Many of these early comics were multi-volume(多卷的) adaptations of martial arts epics or folk tales such as the classical Chinese novel, Journey to the West. 【5】 Adaptations of foreign works from Europe and the United States were also produced. In the 1980s, new publications came to have a wider range of goals that included intellectual development and education in science and culture for young people.

A．Their history reaches back much farther.

B．Most people couldn’t afford to rent one to read.

C．For a few coins，readers could sit down and read.

D．Others were adapted from theater shows or popular films such as King Kong.

E．But this was not the case for much of the 20th century.

F．But people could also enjoy foreign movie stories on lianhuanhua.

G．They named these works “lianhuanhua” (linked images).

24、If you like spend more time outside close to home, you may notice a lot more of what happens naturally in your neighborhood. 【1】. That’s called “citizen” or “community” science. Thousands of community science projects are out there. Here’s how to get started.

Figure out what sparks your curiosity. Ask yourself what gets you excited about nature. Do you love observing the weather? Are you concerned about the water quality, where you live? 【2】 Then there’s going to be a project about them.

【3】 All you need is a smartphone or a computer for most community science projects. Check out Citizen Science.gov to learn more and find projects in the database. If you’re interested in a broader topic but you’re not sure exactly what you want to study, you can choose a broader topic like “astronomy and space” and see a range of available projects. 【4】. Naturalist allows you to record your observations to share with fellow naturalists. Or Bird is a great way to turn your bird watching hobby into a service for scientists, too.

You can be a citizen scientist no matter where you live. People often see nature, especially if you live in a city, as something that is far away or hard to get to. In fact, studying nature can happen everywhere, even in the cracks of the sidewalk. You don’t have to be out in the wilderness.【5】

A．Gather your tools.

B．Tum to naturalists.

C．Just step outside and start your observation.

D．Or you might be really into birds or flowers.

E．Citizen science can be fun and sometimes quite interesting.

F．If you have a good idea of what you’re interested in, you can turn to a specialized app.

G．Regular people like you and me can share what we see with scientists through apps and websites.
