（4）What can we learn from the passage？ 　　

What are you holding in your hand while you are taking the examination？ Right． A pen．

Though it is small， the pen has changed the history， improved the trade of countries， recorded events， carried news， and done far more work for human beings than all other tools．

Progress without it would have been almost impossible． The invention of the wheels， the introduction of steam engine（蒸汽机）， the use of electricity， all these have changed the lives of millions of people， but the pen has done more． It has taken away mountains， and it has prepared the way for all progress and development of the society．

In the past the pen did all the work if you wanted to keep any writing for some time． The lawyers took up their pens and wrote the law of the country from the days when papyrus（纸莎草纸） was first used． The most famous letters in the world were written with a pen． It was with a pen that the greatest thinkers of all time wrote down their thoughts．

The pen is very utilitarian． We cannot sign a bill or write a letter or buy a house without our pen． An agreement is worthless till our name is written with a pen． The writers encourage the world with it． The students take their examinations with it as well．

Our coming into the world is recorded with a pen． Before we have been at school， our name is written on the name list with a pen． We cannot be married till we have signed． A pen records the important events in our life．

Let us remember that we hold in our hand the most powerful instrument which man owns． The pen is a magic tool． Whenever you use it， enjoy it．

（1）What is the writer trying to do in this passage？ 　　

（2）The word "mountains" in the third paragraph refers to（指代） "something to 　　"．

（3）The lawyers started to write the law of the country 　　．

（4）The underlined word "utilitarian" in the passage means " 　 "．

（5）What is the best title for this passage？ 　　

Critical thinking（批判性思维） is trying to improve the way you think． People use critical thinking in every area of life to solve problems and evaluate claims（评估主张）．

Like every other skill， critical thinking takes practice． When a problem comes our way， we need to think critically to decide how to solve it． When we see an advertisement， for example， we should stop and think． Advertisements are made to make people feel certain that they are true， and then people can buy the products． But is what the advertisement says true？ Is it making a claim？ Or does it only interest us？ Critical thinking is important and stops us from making poor choices． In fact， we are using it if we ask questions naturally about what we see．

Practice makes perfect． While you are growing in critical thinking， you'll become a wiser and more thoughtful person． There are many ways of doing practice． Here are a few．

★ Read about a topic people disagree on． Look at articles or books on all sides of the subject． For each side of the subject， think carefully and evaluate it．

★ When you see or hear a claim， ask questions about it． Who is making the claim and why？

★Evaluate your own thinking． Where and why do you think uncritically？ How can you improve？

Critical thinking should be part of everything we do． It may help you to succeed at work or school ．Make yourself into a habit of critical thinking． Change your thoughts and change your world．

（1）、（2）题完成句子；（3）题简略回答问题；（4）题找出并写下第二段的主题句；（5）题将文中画线句子译成汉语．
