21、Involving little rote learning, a new teaching approach is becoming popular where teachers encourage debate and discussion in the classroom. How will students cope with this inspiring style of teaching? One way is through critical thinking, which is a necessary skill.
The easiest way to learn to think critically is to force yourself to question everything, according to Michael Tabachnick, a physics professor at Delaware Valley College. “That does not mean you can’t believe, but you must question. Is it true? Is it opinion? Is it justified by the fact?. . . Students eventually learn to analyze,” Tabachnick said.
Young learners constantly ask questions because they are curious about the world that remains unknown to them. But this natural curiosity disappears with time.
However, questioning your teachers should be encouraged. After all, they are the ones who have been educated, and have a lot more experience and knowledge than students.
When I taught in a college in Scotland, I enjoyed answering students’ questions. Some of my students posted difficult queries (问题). I didn’t always know the answers. If I didn’t, I’d admit it and try to find out later.
I still remember when I was at university, my peers and I were encouraged to challenge each other and our professors. A student would write a paper on a subject, and fellow students would criticize it. It could be very challenging. But it was a way of developing critical thinking and logical thinking. Having a logical mind can help develop critical thinking. Some people don’t have a logical mind, but they do have emotional intelligence, which is also important for critical thinking. People with high emotional intelligence can understand other people’s feelings, communicate properly with them, and read their personalities. If you can’t at least try to put yourself in someone else’s shoes, how can you understand their situations, their problems and their issues?
So, try to develop your power of critical thinking. Start with books, films, music and newspapers. And don’t believe everything you read or see. Think for yourself.
【1】Which of the following is an example of an inspiring style of teaching?
A．Students are organized to have some discussion.
B．Students are asked to recite some historical facts.
C．Students are required to copy some historical facts.
D．Students are quizzed on some famous people in history.
【2】How can you develop critical thinking as Michael Tabachnick says?
A．Have a debate on a subject.
B．Do not believe anything.
C．Discuss a topic with classmates.
D．Ask a question and analyze.
【3】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A．The fault in the answer I gave.
B．The fact that I didn’t know the answers.
C．The good questions that students asked.
D．The answers that I needed to find out later.
【4】How can emotional intelligence help critical thinking?
A．People with high emotional intelligence are open-minded.
B．People with high emotional intelligence are good at criticizing.
C．High emotional intelligence helps people understand others better.
D．High emotional intelligence helps people think in a more logical way.
