21、 As an archaeologist at Florida State University, Jessi Halligan and her team made a discovery, reported this past spring, in the Florida section of the Aucilla River.
Deep in a sinkhole, buried in a pile of sand and mastodon dung was a small, ancient knife used for hunting and cutting meat from the bone. The dung dates back roughly 14,500 years—some 1,500 years before the Clovis people, who were long thought to have been America’s first human residents.
Discover caught up with Halligan to learn more about the find and the world of underwater archaeology.
Q: First off，what’s the impact of the Aucilla River knife discovery?
A: A lot of us thought the Americas were populated by folks who came from Siberia across the Bering Land Bridge into Alaska and Canada. However，Canada wasn’t walkable 14,500 years ago—it was covered by ice. So if people were in Florida 14,500 years ago and there was no land route through Canada, then the first people who came to the Americas probably came by boat. Therefore, we really need to start re-examining when and where people came from and what we thought we knew. We don't have all the answers we thought we did.
Q: Why did you decide to get into archaeology?
A: To me, if s that combination of things: using your body as a tool to help you understand things, as well as using your brain to think about what those things meant and applying that to the big picture about people.
Q: How many underwater archaeologists are there?
A: For every 100 archaeologists, maybe one to five of them are underwater archaeologists, and most of them are shipwreck archaeologists. I’m one of only a few dozen maybe in the whole world who focus on landscapes that got covered by sea level rise or prehistoric settlements that were land but ended up underwater.
Q: _______________
A: The water’s really dark，so you can’t see very far, and you can’t have as many people working at the same time. Also, you can’t talk underwater, so you have to communicate through hand signals, which can slow things down.
【1】According to Halligan, in what way is the Aucilla River knife discovery important?
A.It is among the discoveries that have been made by archaeologists like Halligan.
B.It can solve the mystery why Canada remained unwalkable 14,500 years ago.
C.It provides a new perspective to think about America’s first human residents.
D.It helps to answer where early Americans came from and when they arrived.
【2】What is special about Halligan as an archaeologist?
A.She excels in water sports like diving.
B.She studies the water area that used to be land.
C.She focuses mainly on the research on shipwreck. '
D.She is interested in early human residents in America.
【3】Which of the following is most likely to be the last question?
A.What are some of the challenges you face underwater?
B.What has been misunderstood about archaeology?
C.What appeals to you most in your job?
D.What good does this job give to you?

23、Thinking is something you choose to do as a fish chooses 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 others. Indeed, critical thinking is the heart of education.
The word “critical” here has a special meaning. It does not mean taking one 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, 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, 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 go hand in hand with the fast speed in today’s world: fast foods, instant coffee, and self-developed 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. The first time Banesh Hoffman, a scientist, was to discuss his work with Albert Einstein, Hoffman was too nervous to speak. But Einstein 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 do not 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】What would be the best title for the passage?
A. What is thinking
B. Understanding Critical Thinking
C. Thinking Is Natural and Human
D. Thinking Fast Means Intelligence
