The first Chinese actor captured （征服） the hearts of many Chinese in the USA． He read a letter by Zhuge Liang（181～ 234）to the emperor of Shuhan during the Three Kingdoms（220～280）period in the new season of Growling Tiger and Roaring Dragon（《虎啸龙吟》）
The letter has been read by so many students． We would never have thought that the text written in old Chinese could be so beautifully read in another language． As a result， foreigners begin to show interest in Rommance of the Three Kingdoms， translated bt C．H． Brewitt﹣Tailor and Robert E． Hegel．
Earlier in November 1979， pupils in England were able to watch a new TV program called Monkey． Most of them were hearing the story for the first time． However， the story of the Monkey King isn't new to Chinese Children in the traditional Chinese book Journey to the West．

Chinese scholars（学者） should do a better job of introducing Chinese literature（文学） to the rest of the world． At the same time， we could encourage western schools to try something different．
Reading international literature is an effective way of understand other people in the world． And the more we understand each other， the more beautiful the world will be．

Critical thinking is the ability to think clearly and rationally about what to believe or what to do．According to a report on the World Economic Forum （2016），critical thinking，creativity，and their practical application are widely accepted as the top three skills that young people need to possess*in their future career．
A good critical thinker usually takes the following steps before he decides what to do．Whenever he needs to do something，he would，first of all，reason．He checks why he needs to do it and whether he really needs to do it．Then，analyze．He tries to find out what it really is and the best way to do it．After that，evaluate．He makes sure whether he is able to do it and how to do it well．Finally，he makes the decision and takes action．Take the "Double 11"（a popular online shopping day in China） as an example．A few days before it，he checks carefully what he needs and whether he really needs them，and makes a shopping list．He goes to the online shops to compare the quality and the prices of the things that he is going to buy．He compares the shops that sell these things．
Then he checks whether he can afford them and in which shops he is going to buy them．Although it takes him some time to make the decisions，he would not regret after the shopping．

Not all the students are Canadian．There's usually a mix of nationalities．This year，there are also students from Mexico，the US，Germany，and Turkey．There's a mix of ages too．There are high school students from sixteen to eighteen years old，and first﹣year college students．

There are at least two methods．Induction （归纳法） （as described by Darwin ），or deduction （演绎法）（ as described by Einstein）．Both methods can produce amazing result．But only when you know which"direction"to go．
The steps are the same．They include：
Theory （理论）＝Explaining how things work
Experiment＝A way to test what's happening
Observation＝Something you notice
Together，these are called the scientific method．
Should you start from the"bottom"by collecting information and facts to prove and seeing where chat leads you？That's induction．Charles Darwin （1809﹣1882 ） supported this method．He spent years observing the appearance and behavior of animals in different places．From this，he created his theory of natural selection：animal and plants can change because of their environment．
Or should you start from the"top"by creating a theory and then seeing how it stands up to real life？That's deduction．Albert Einstein（1879﹣1955）was king here．He began with brave ideas．These theories often took years to prove by experiment．
A few of Einstein's ideas are still being examined．
In history，scientist have been solving problems using different methods．For example，while studying bacteria（细菌）．Fleming found that something on bread could kill bacteria harmful to human health．This led him to discover a new medicine．Newton suggested that all objects attract each other．His idea was proved later．
So which way better？That depends．Some researchers do experiment，and only later consider where their results may lead them．That's induction．But deduction needs you to suggest a theory that may or may not be supported by the information and facts．The best scientists are always ready to change methods when necessary．
56．How many steps are there in the scientific method
A.2
B.3
C.4
57．Deduction needs you to start from the
A．"bottom"
B．"middle"
C．"top"
58．Fleming used to discover a new medicine．
A．induction
B．deduction
C．theories
59．The last paragraph（段）tells us
A．which way is better
B．To get more facts
C to use proper methods
60．What can be the best title of the passage？
A．Deduction and induction
B．Darwin and Fleming
C．Theory and experiment．

Imagine you have a history or math test in school．（76） How should you prepare for this terrible event？
Should you reread your history，math or English books？What about underlining important words or sentences？（77） But are these truly the best methods？
Mary Pym，an American scientist，says that both rereading and underlining are ineffective（无效的）study tools，but better than not studying at all．（78）
When you reread something，you are not trying to actively receive the information．It seems that you already know the information because you've already read it．
The problem with underlining is that you don't always know what the most important information is．（79） ．
What should you do if rereading and underlining are not the best ways to study for a test？
（80） simple cards and practice exams can help when you want to make sure that you have learned something．
