2. Do not believe anything without questioning it.
3.They are critical thinkers, and they understand that we all are ruled by our prejudices(偏见), so they will always question new information.

A college student has turned the act of telling someone off into an art form. Lama Ali, who attend school in Virginia, had three final assignments due on the same day for her fashion drawing class. Exhausted after working on painting for seven hours straight, the 20-year-old decided to include a message in American Sign Language to her professor:
When your drawing teacher assigns 3 finals so you secretly write “you got me fucked up” in sign language on your final piece.
——Shawty Arabia(@LemAli23) December 7,2016
“You got me fucked up,” a bunch of hands in the painting spell out in ASL, in a form of sign known as finger spelling(聋哑字母表), which uses signs for each letter, rather than for the words themselves.
“Honestly the idea just came to me while I was finishing up the piece,” Ali told The Huffington Post.” I was looking at it and thought, ‘This could really use something else’. And then the idea struck me: Why not secretly express how I was feeling while struggling at the library at 4 a. m.?”
Once the fashion design major had finished her masterpiece, she posted it to Twitter on Dec. 7, where it has received over 113,000likes and 48,000 retweets (转发).
Ali, who does not know ASL, told HuffPost she taught herself a little bit just for this particular assignment.
“You know it’s bad when you have to learn a whole other language to express how done you are,” she said. “I remembered seeing a post on Tumblr long ago with a similar phrase by the post, she decided to look up the letters in ASL to spell out the message. Someone on Twitter even did the good work of circling them in the painting.
Ali told HuffPost that when she finally presented the piece to her professor in her class, he absolutely loved it.
“Most of my friends in class actually knew about the secret message, so I was really surprised when no one laughed or blew my cover during critique(评论).” She also admits that her professor still doesn’t know about the message, despite her post getting so much attention.
1.Which of the following is closest in meaning to “You got me fucked up”?
A. I was greatly astonished.
B. You really worn me out.
C. I felt much appreciated.
D. You left me impressed.
2.What was it that gave Ali the inspiration to use ASL to express her feeling?
A. Her professor’s assignment.
B. Being too exhausted.
C. A post on Tumblr with ASL.
D. Her classmates’ encouragement.
3.Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Her professor is not so clever as her classmates.
B. Her professor pretended not to understand.
C. Her professor is still in the dark about the message.
D. Her professor had been informed by her classmates.
4.How did Ali know about American Sign Language?
A. She learned it in middle school.
B. She majored in it at college.
C. She taught herself when prepared for the assignment.
D. Someone taught her on Twitter.

Dear Mr. Smith,
I am seeking an opportunity to work with World Destiny as a Computer Systems Manager. My professional experience and my awareness of your high reputation and great achievements have led me to want to work for World Destiny.
Since 1998 I have focused on computer-system design and training. As Systems Administrator for Newport Museum for the past two years, I have directed accounting, capital campaign and publication production. We designed the system from scratch, developing all applications, policies, procedures, and training programs. I was well prepared for such a challenge by my previous positions as a Systems Support Specialist and MicroComputer Assistant for the Imperial Corporation of America.
Over the years, I have worked with Novell, using programs including dBase, Wordstar and Microsoft Word. This familiarity with a variety of hardware and software has helped me to get up to speed on nearly any computer with a minimum training period.
Additional experience in other fields also adds my value to World Destiny. As a Market Research Coordinator for Cushman & Wakefield of California, I not only researched and maintained(维护) a comprehensive database of Silicon Valley, but also produced statistical and written reports that support Cushman & Wakefield’s reputation. Previously, I organized companywide annual sales meetings for Qualogy, Inc.
Mr. Smith, while this experience more than qualifies me to join any number of successful companies, it is my personal goals that lead to my interest in being part of the World Destiny team. I believe my computer, promotional, and organizational skills, fueled by my beliefs, make World Destiny and me right for each other. Can we arrange an interview at your earliest convenience? I will call within the next week to arrange a meeting.
Sincerely, Beth Henning
