Every day from the time we wake up until the time we go to bed, we are bombarded with information from all sides, from TV, radio, newspapers and books; from family, friends, and colleagues. As a new cable television subscriber, I am absolutely amazed at the quantity and varying levels of information quality on cable television. Including the networks, there are eight TV "news" organizations vying to provide us with all the information we can possibly absorb. Newspaper, magazines, books, radio, the Internet, email, snail mail, and the telephone all compete for our attention and our minds. At the office conversations around the water cooler and coffee maker serve to spread even more items of information.
　　There is valuable information out there about the world we live in, on topics as varied as health, safety, traffic, nutrition, business, finance, philosophy, nature, science, weather, history and the human condition. There is also a large amount of misleading and outright false information, not just on controversial subjects such as politics and religion but on any topic one can think of, including all of the topics mentioned above.
　　With all this information coming at us from all directions, how does one sift through it all to sort out the facts from the fiction, the truth from the lies, the more important from the less important? Should we turn off the TV, cancel our newspaper subscriptions, disconnect our phones and modems to become information "hermits"? Probably not.
　　A better method of sifting through the information wave without being overwhelmed and confused is to become a skeptical inquirer-or skeptic-with regard to the surrounding world. By "skeptic"-I do not mean a cynic-a person who rejects new ideas simply because they are new. A skeptic is one who questions the validity of a particular claim by calling for evidence to prove or disprove it. Skepticism is a method, not a position. It is a provisional approach to all factual claims. In terms of processing information, a skeptic needs to be able to grasp reality and acquire knowledge about the environment that agrees with reason, logic, and evidence. In other words, as skeptics, when we hear a claim that may or may not be fantastic, we should say, "That's nice, prove it."

72．The writer implies that if we want to make some judgments about some information, the first thing that we should do is to .
A. ask for the information                  B. cut off all channels of information
C. receive and go through the information   D. become information "hermits"

73. What does the author say is the more reasonable approach to processing the information wave?
A. A skeptical approach.       B. A subjective approach.  

C. A cynical approach.         D. A philosophical approach.

74. What can we conclude from the difference between a skeptic and a cynic?
　　  A. Skeptics are reasonable but cynics are too optimistic.
　　  B. Skeptics are reasonable but cynics are too pessimistic(opposite of optimistic).
　　  C. Skeptics take a position but cynics are extreme in their attitude.
　　  D. Skeptics reject all new ideas but cynics only reject some of them.
　 75. When faced with an incredible or fantastic claim, what shall we do according to the author?
　　  A. Ask questions and look for proof.   B. Ignore the information and its source.
　　  C. Change the subject immediately.

D. Try to consult an expert who knows the truth.

Each of us fails from time to time. If we are wise， we accept these failures as a 　36　 part of the learning process. But all too often as parents and teachers we disallow this 　37　 right to our children.

When I see a child 　38　 to this kind of pressure， I think of Donnie.

Donnie was my youngest third grader. His 　39　 of failure kept him from classroom games that other children enjoyed. He 　40　 answered questions—he might be wrong.

I tried my best to build his 　41　. But nothing changed until midterm， when Mary Anne， a student teacher， was assigned(安排) to our classroom.

She was young and pretty， and she loved children. My pupils， Donnie included， 　42　 her.

One morning， we were working math problems at the chalkboard. Donnie had 　43　 the problems with painstaking neatness. Pleased with his progress， I 　44　 the children with Mary Anne and went for art materials. When I returned， Donnie was in 　45　. He'd missed the third problem.

My student teacher looked at me in despair. Suddenly her face 　46　. From the desk we shared， she got a container filled with pencils.

“Look， Donnie，” she said， kneeling beside him and gently 　47　 the tear­stained face from his arms. “I've got something to 　48　 you.” She removed the pencils， one at a time， and placed them on his desk.

“See these 　49　， Donnie，” she continued. “They belong to Mrs Lindstrom and me. See how the erasers are 　50　？ That's because we make mistakes too. But we erase the mistakes and try again. That's what you 　51　 learn to do， too.”

She kissed him and stood up. “Here，” she said， “I'll leave one of these pencils on 　52　 desk so you'll remember that everybody makes mistakes， 　53　 teachers.” Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and a smile.

The pencil became Donnie's 　54　 possession. That， together with Mary Anne's frequent encouragement， gradually 　55　 him that it's all right to make mistakes—as long as you erase them and try again.
