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 dicides 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.Then what would happen if he didnt think critically before he made the decisions? After the crazy Double 11, there were usually a lot of complaints on the Internet. There were regrets about buying more things than they needed. There were complaints about the poor quality and the prices of the things they bought. There were also complaints because they received wrong things or simply received nothing. There were all kinds of regrets and complaints. Why so? They had not thought critically before they made the decisions.Critical thinking helps you make wiser decisions. It helps you avoid wasting time, money and so on. Therefore, do look before you leap.（1）According to the passage, critical thinking is a thinking skill that_.

It is very hard to break a code without the code book.B. Only people who know the keyword can read the message.C. As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them.D. You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out.E. With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words.F. Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet.Secret codes (密码)keep messages private. Banks, companies, and government agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer.People have used secret codes for thousands of years. _Code breaking never lags(落后) far behind code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography.There are three main types of cryptography. _For example, the first letters of My elephant eats too many eels Spell out the hidden message Meet me._You might represent each letter with a number, for example, Lets number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitute a number for each letter, the message Meet me would read 13, 5, 5, 20, 15, 5.A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book. _For example, bridge might stand for meet and out might stand for me. The message bridge out would actually mean Meet me. _However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently.七、 书面表达 (共1题；共5分)10. （5分）写作假如你是Nick，以下是你的成绩单，请给你朋友Jane写封信，汇报成绩。要求：6080词(开头已给出，不计入总词数)PositiveCommentsSpanishteacherPE teacherMath teacherdid wellin writinggood atsportshard-workingNegativeCommentsHistoryteacherScienceteacherlazymust studyharderDear Jane,Hows it going?
