In America, the school life is not easy for us students. There are so many rules we have to follow. When we start school, we get a rule book. There are always teachers looking out for people who are breaking the rules and prefects (长官) are everywhere too.

    The most rules are in the classroom and in the hallways. For example, you can't run or dance around in the hallways. We can't put our bags everywhere in the hallways.

    You can't eat or drink in the classroom or the hallways. Prefects watch you, They can give out duty slips (cleaning the dining hall for about 2 hours).

    If you make mistakes, you will get a detention. You may have to do some work for school. A detention is the most painful. You have to do a lot of tiring and boring things. There are rules for students out of school as well. Boys should not buy take away food in the street if they wear the school uniforms. The school also expects good behavior on public transport and in public places.

A..Have the willingness to change an opinion in the face of better data. 

B.Reading is a good way to stay open-minded.

C.A system can be measured,refined,and optimized.

D.The better we get at writing the better we get at thinking. 

E. Argue with yourself.

F.They only make a conclusion once they have studied a topic in depth.

There is no quick hack to becoming a critical thinker but there are some habits that one can build to after their character in the right direction.

● Read a lot and read widely

{#blank#}1{#/blank#} Well read people understand that there are different ways to look at a problem and different lenses with which to view the world.

● Don't jump to conclusions

A good critical thinker has built up the habit of not jumping to conclusions especially when there is no data.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}

● Create systems,not goals

For example,creating a system habit that promotes writing every day is more effective than setting the goal of writing an essay a week. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}.A goal only focuses on the outputs.

●{#blank#}4{#/blank#}

Great thinkers routinely and intelligently try to counter their own arguments.They go back and forth until only the most rational and strongest argument exists based on the knowledge they have.

● Write

Writing is thinking. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}.Writing also helps us separate what we actually know from what we think we know.

Many students do an IQ test in their school. Even if they never see their results, they feel that their  IQ is what determines how well they are going to do in life. When they see other students doing better than them, they usually believe that those students have a higher IQ and that they can't change this fact. However, new research suggests that success is not simply the result of a high IQ.

While your IQ tells you how intelligent you are, your EQ tells you how well you use your intelligence. Professor Salovey says that when predicting someone's future success, their EQ might actually matter more than their IQ. For example, you may wonder why some of the smartest students in your class sometimes fail exams. Perhaps their failure is because of their low EQ.

It is believed that people with high EQs are open to new idea s and have positive altitudes(态度) towards life. They are seldom troubled by problems. As for people with low EQs, they often have trouble getting on with others and dealing with difficult situations. As a result, they have a harder time surviving in life.

The good news is that EQ has a lot to do with education. Compared with IQ that seems to be fixed(固定的) the moment you were born, EQ could be improved with right methods. For example, learning more skills in communication and understanding can be helpful.

To live a happy successful life, you need a high EQ— the higher, the better.

This is the Healthy Diet Pyramid. It is a diet for a healthy life. Different kinds of food are at different levels (层) of the pyramid. 

Here is the first level. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} About50% of our diet should be these kinds of food. 

 At the second level, there are more green foods. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} These should be 30% of our diet. 

{#blank#}3{#/blank#} They are important foods with a lot of protein(蛋白质). And they should be about 18% of our diet. 

 At the top (顶端) of the pyramid, there are foods like ice-creams and candies. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} They can make us fat. 

 The diet pyramid is not difficult to remember. Know about it and try to live a healthy life.
