Think for yourself 新标准大学英语原文

Think for yourself 新标准大学英语原文

Think for yourself1. Thinking for yourself is still a radical act.2. Thinking for yourself is not a popular activity, though it should be. Every step of realprogress in our society has come from it. But in most circles, particularly in places that shape our lives – families, schools and most workplaces – thinking for yourself is regarded with suspicion. Some institutions thwart it on purpose. It can be seen as dangerous.3. I was reminded of this sad fact at a party when a fellow guest asked me the subject of a bookI was planning to write. I told him that it was about how people can help each other to think for themselves. “Oh dear,” he said, “I don’t think much of that; I much prefer people do as they’re told.” I later found out that he is the fourth-generation president of one of the largest oil companies.4. When was the last organizational vision statement you saw that included the words “… todevelop ourselves into a model environment in which everyone at every level can think for themselves”? For th at matter, when was the last time somebody asked you, “What do you really think, really?” and then waited for you to answer at length?5. This dearth should not surprise us. Hardly anyone has been encouraged, much less trained, tothink for themselves, and their teachers and parents and bosses weren’t either. And neither were theirs. (We may have learned to revere thinkers like Socrates, but we also learned that the state poisoned him for thinking for himself: not unmitigated encouragement.)6. Occasionally, however, we do have a teacher or mentor who truly wants us to develop ourown thinking. They give us glimpses. When I was 13 years old, I was put into an advanced algebra course. On the first day the teacher, who was maligned by students as a hard teacher because she tried to get them to think, stood in front of the blackboard and said, “On the paper in front of you write the sum of a number.”7. The entire class of 35 pubescent people just stared at her. She repeated the direction, “Writethe sum of a nu mber.”8. I remember my hand gathering sweat around the pencil. A few heads looked down and theirpencils started up. I wondered what in the world they were writing. I saw the girl across the aisle from me lean forward and peer over the shoulder of the boy in front of herwho was scribbling something. Then she scratched a figure and immediately covered it with her hand.9. The teacher paced and rubbed the chalk between her fingers. I wondered what she was aboutto put on the board. I was now the only one not writing. I leaned back and over my left shoulder whispered to my friend, “What is it?”10. “Seven,” she whispered back.11. So I wrote “7” on my paper. I kept my head down, hoping I looked busy and confident.12. After the agony among us had become tactile, the teacher asked us for our answers. Thenumber 7 was prevalent. She walked slowly over to the board and wrote: “There is no such thing as the sum of a number.”13. I knew that.14. Why didn’t you write it?15. Sarah said it was 7.16. Why did you ask her?17. Because –I don’t know.18. That’s right. From now on, think for yourself.19. I was too scared around that teacher for the rest of my young life to think very well in herpresence. But I took the message with me and gradually examined and valued it. I don’t recommend humiliating people into thinking for themselves as she had. She certainly did not create a Thinking Environment for us. Had she affirmed our intelligence first and spoken about the joy of thinking for ourselves, had she not fanned our fear of her, we would all have learned even more powerfully what it meant to do our thinking. And we might have been able to think well around her too.20. But at least she introduced the concept into my academic life.presence.

新标准英语 1 课文翻译Unit 1大一新生日记星期日从家里出发后,我们开车开了很长一段时间才到达我住的宿舍楼.我进去登记。

宿舍管理员给了我一串钥匙,并告诉了我房间号.我的房间在6楼,可电梯坏了。

等我们终于找到8号房的时候,妈妈已经涨红了脸,上气不接下气。

我打开门锁,我们都走了进去。

但爸爸马上就从里面钻了出来。

这个房间刚刚够一个人住,一家人都进去,肯定装不下。

我躺在床上,不动弹就可以碰到三面墙。

幸亏我哥哥和我的狗没一起来。

后来,爸爸妈妈就走了,只剩下我孤零零一个人。

周围只有书和一个箱子。

接下来我该做什么?星期一早上,有一个为一年级新生举办的咖啡早茶会。

我见到了我的导师,他个子高高的,肩膀厚实,好像打定了主意要逗人开心。

“你是从很远的地方来的吗?”他问我.他边说话边晃悠脑袋,咖啡都洒到杯托里了。

“我家离爱丁堡不太远,开车大约6个小时,”我说.“好极了!"他说,接着又走向站在我旁边的那个女孩儿.“你是从很远的地方来的吗?”他问.但不等那女孩儿作出任何回答,他就说到,“好极了!”然后就继续向前走.他啜了一口咖啡,却惊讶地发现杯子是空的.妈妈打来电话.她问我是不是见到了导师。

星期二我觉得有点儿饿,这才意识到我已经两天没吃东西了。

我下楼去,得知一天三餐我可以在餐厅里吃.我下到餐厅排进了长队。

“早餐吃什么?”我问前面的男生。

“不知道.我来得太晚了,吃不上早餐了。

这是午餐."午餐是自助餐,今天的菜谱是鸡肉、米饭、土豆、沙拉、蔬菜、奶酪、酸奶和水果。

前面的男生每样儿都取一些放到托盘上,付了钱,坐下来吃.我再也不觉得饿了.妈妈打电话来。

她问我有没有好好吃饭。

星期三早上9点钟我要去听一个讲座.我醒时已经8:45了。

竟然没有人叫我起床。

奇怪.我穿好衣服,急匆匆地赶到大讲堂。

我在一个睡眼惺忪的女生旁边坐下。

她看了看我,问:“刚起床?”她是怎么看出来的?讲座进行了1个小时。

结束时我看了看笔记,我根本就看不懂自己写的字.那个女生名叫苏菲,和我一样,也是英语文学专业的学生。

如何成为一个能独立思考的人英语作文

如何成为一个能独立思考的人英语作文

如何成为一个能独立思考的人英语作文How to Become a Person who Thinks IndependentlyIntroduction:Being able to think independently is a valuable skill that can help you navigate through life with confidence and make sound decisions. In today's world, where information is constantly bombarding us from all sides, it is important to develop the ability to filter out the noise and form your own opinions. In this essay, we will discuss the steps you can take to become a person who thinks independently.1. Seek out diverse perspectives:One of the best ways to develop independent thinking is to expose yourself to different viewpoints and perspectives. This can be done by reading books, watching documentaries, listening to podcasts, and engaging in conversations with people who have different ideas than you. By exposing yourself to a variety of opinions and viewpoints, you can begin to form a more well-rounded understanding of the world.2. Question everything:To become a critical thinker, it is important to question everything you see, hear, and read. Don't take information at face value, but instead, ask yourself why you believe what you believe. Challenge your own assumptions and biases, and be open to changing your mind when presented with new evidence. By developing a healthy skepticism, you can avoid falling prey to misinformation and propaganda.3. Develop your own opinions:Instead of parroting what others say, take the time to form your own opinions on various topics. Consider all sides of an argument, weigh the evidence, and come to your own conclusions. It is okay to disagree with popular opinion or to have a unique perspective on a particular issue. The important thing is that your opinions are well-informed and backed up by evidence.4. Learn to think critically:Critical thinking is a key component of independent thinking. It involves analyzing information, evaluating arguments, and making logical conclusions. To improve your critical thinking skills, practice identifying logical fallacies, breaking down complex arguments, and recognizing biases in media andadvertising. By honing your critical thinking skills, you can become a more independent and discerning thinker.5. Be open to feedback:Being able to think independently doesn't mean that you always have to be right. It is important to be open to feedback and criticism from others. Constructive feedback can help you see things from a different perspective and challenge your assumptions. Embrace feedback as an opportunity for growth and learning, rather than as a personal attack.6. Trust your instincts:While it is important to base your opinions on evidence and reason, it is also important to trust your instincts and intuition. Sometimes our gut feelings can provide valuable insights that our rational minds may overlook. Learn to balance logic with intuition and trust your own judgment when making decisions.Conclusion:Becoming a person who thinks independently takes time, effort, and dedication. By seeking out diverse perspectives, questioning everything, developing your own opinions, honing your critical thinking skills, being open to feedback, and trusting your instincts, you can cultivate the ability to think for yourselfand make informed decisions. Independent thinking is a powerful tool that can help you navigate through life with confidence and clarity.。

大学独立思考英语作文

大学独立思考英语作文

大学独立思考英语作文1. Honestly, I think it's really important for college students to develop their own independent thinking skills. We can't just rely on what we're told in lectures or textbooks we need to be able to analyze information critically and form our own opinions.2. It's not always easy to think for yourself, though. Sometimes it's tempting to just go along with what everyone else is saying, or to believe something just because an authority figure said it. But true independence means being able to question and challenge ideas, even if it's uncomfortable.3. I remember one time in class when the professor said something that didn't quite sit right with me. Instead of just accepting it, I decided to do some research on my own to see if it was true. It turned out that the information was outdated, and I was able to bring that to theprofessor's attention.4. Developing independent thinking skills isn't just about being a contrarian or trying to be different for the sake of it. It's about being able to think for yourself, make informed decisions, and contribute meaningfully to discussions and debates.5. In the end, I think being able to think independently is one of the most valuable skills we can learn in college. It not only helps us academically, but also prepares us for the real world where critical thinking and decision-making are essential.。

UNIT 3 独立思考(Thinking for yourself)

UNIT 3独立思考直到现在,独立思考仍然是一种激进的行为。

独立思考本该是一种普遍的行为,而事实却并非如此。

我们社会的每一次重大进步都源于独立思考。

然而,在大多数的生活圈子里,尤其是那些影响我们一生的地方——家庭、学校以及大部分工作场所——人们都对独立思考持怀疑态度。

有些机构甚至故意压制独立思考。

在有些人看来,那是一件危险的事情。

在一个晚会上,当一位客人问起我酝酿中的一本书的主题时,我再次想起了这个令人悲哀的事实。

我告诉他那本书谈论的话题是大家可以互相帮助,培养独立思考的能力。

“天哪,”他说,“我不认为那有什么好,我更喜欢服从命令的人。

”后来,我才知道他是一家大公司的第四代掌门人,而那家公司是世界上最大的石油公司之一。

“??在我们周围逐渐创建出一个模型环境,使各个层次的人都有独立思考的空间。

”你最后一次看到包含上述字眼的机构愿景陈述是在什么时候?还有,上一次有人问你:“你能跟我说真心话吗,真心话?”然后等着你做出翔实、充分的回答是在什么时候?缺乏独立思考对我们来说是司空见惯的事情。

很少有人被鼓励去进行独立思考,更谈不上接受相关的训练。

他们的老师、父母和老板也是如此。

而且老师、父母和老板的老师、父母和老板也是如此。

(我们可能早就知道应该尊敬像苏格拉底那样的思想家,可是我们也知道,因为独立思考,他所在的城邦毒死了他。

这可绝不是给予他的毫无保留的支持与鼓励。

)可是,我们偶尔也会遇到真心想培养我们独立思考的老师或导师。

他们让我们对独立思考的重要性有了浅略的认识。

13 岁时,我上了一门高级代数课。

授课的老师由于要求学生思考而背上了难缠的恶名。

第一天上课时,老师站在黑板前面说:“在你们面前的纸上写出一个数字的和。

”全班35 个少男少女全都瞪大了眼睛看着她。

她重复了一遍指令:“写出一个数字的和。

”我记得我握着铅笔的手出汗了。

有些人低下了头,握着手中的铅笔开始写了起来。

我真不知道他们到底在写什么。

我看见过道对面跟我坐同一排的那个女生向前探出身子,看看前面那个正胡乱写字的男生都写了些什么。

教育培养独立思考的重要性英语作文

教育培养独立思考的重要性英语作文

教育培养独立思考的重要性英语作文The Importance of Independent ThinkingDo you ever feel like you're just following orders and doing what everyone else is doing? It can be really easy to just go along with the crowd and not question things. But you know what? Independent thinking is super important, and it's something we should practice from a young age.What is independent thinking, you ask? It's all about using your own brain to form your own opinions and make your own decisions, instead of just believing everything you're told or doing what everyone else is doing. It's about questioning things, being curious, and thinking for yourself.Why is independent thinking so important? Well, let me tell you!It helps you learn better.When you just memorize facts and regurgitate information, it's like you're a parrot repeating things without really understanding them. But when you think independently, you're actively engaging your brain and making connections. You're asking questions, exploring ideas, and really digging deep tounderstand things. This helps the information stick in your mind way better than just mindlessly memorizing it.It makes you smarter and more creative.Independent thinking forces you to use your brain in new and different ways. You have to analyze information, come up with your own ideas, and solve problems creatively. This stretches your brain muscles and makes you smarter and more creative over time. It's like exercise for your mind!It helps you make better decisions.If you just go along with what everyone else is doing, you might end up making decisions that aren't right for you. But when you think independently, you can weigh the pros and cons and choose what's best for you. You're in charge of your own life, and independent thinking helps you make choices that are true to yourself.It builds your confidence.When you form your own opinions and make your own decisions, it shows that you trust yourself and your own abilities. This builds self-confidence and self-esteem, which are super important for success in life.It makes the world a better place.Imagine if everyone just went along with the status quo and never questioned anything. The world would be a pretty boring and stagnant place. But when people think independently, they come up with new ideas, challenge old ways of doing things, and drive progress and positive change.Of course, independent thinking doesn't mean you should just ignore everyone else's opinions and do whatever you want. It's important to listen to others, consider different perspectives, and be open to changing your mind if you encounter new information or better arguments.But at the end of the day, you should form your own opinions and make your own choices based on careful consideration and critical thinking. Don't just blindly follow the crowd or believe everything you're told.So how can you practice independent thinking? Here are some tips:Ask questions! Don't be afraid to raise your hand and ask "why" or "how" when you don't understand something.Challenge assumptions and look at things from different angles. Just because something has always been done a certain way doesn't mean it's the best way.Do your own research and form your own opinions instead of just accepting what others tell you.Explore new ideas and perspectives, even if they're different from what you're used to.Learn to think critically and logically, and don't just accept something as true without evidence or reasoning.Practice making decisions for yourself, big or small, and trust your own judgment.Independent thinking is a skill that takes practice, but the more you do it, the better you'll get. And it's so worth it! It'll help you learn better, be smarter and more creative, make better decisions, build your confidence, and contribute to a better world.So the next time you're tempted to just go along with the crowd, stop and think for yourself. Your brain is an amazing thing, and you should use it to its full potential. Be an independent thinker, and you'll be amazed at what you can achieve!。

独立思考英语作文事例

独立思考英语作文事例

独立思考英语作文事例全文共6篇示例,供读者参考篇1Hey guys, today I want to talk about independent thinking! Do you know what that means? It means using your own ideas and opinions to make decisions and solve problems.Let me give you an example. Imagine your friends want to play a game that you don't really like. Instead of just going along with them, you can think for yourself and suggest a different game that you all might enjoy. That's independent thinking!Independence thinking is important because it helps us become better problem solvers and decision makers. When we rely on our own thoughts and ideas, we gain confidence in ourselves and our abilities. We also become more creative and resourceful because we're not just following what everyone else is doing.So next time you're faced with a decision or a problem, try to think for yourself. Consider different options, weigh the pros and cons, and come up with your own solution. Your friends and teachers will be impressed by your independent thinking skills!Remember, independent thinking is all about using your own brain power to make choices and come up with solutions. So keep practicing and challenging yourself to think independently. You'll be amazed at what you can accomplish!篇2Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Tim. Tim was a very curious boy and always liked to ask questions. One day, he was given a homework assignment to write an essay on the topic of "independent thinking".Tim was not sure what independent thinking meant, so he decided to ask his teacher for help. His teacher explained to him that independent thinking is when you use your own ideas and opinions to come up with solutions to problems. It means not just following what everyone else is doing, but thinking for yourself and making your own decisions.Tim thought about this for a while and then decided to write his essay about a time when he used independent thinking. He remembered a time when he was playing with his friends and they all wanted to play tag. Tim didn't really like tag, so instead of just going along with what his friends wanted to do, he suggested they play a different game that he liked better.At first, his friends were not sure about the new game, but Tim explained the rules and soon they were all having a great time. Tim realized that by using his own ideas and opinions, he was able to make the situation better for everyone.In the end, Tim wrote a great essay about his experience with independent thinking. His teacher was very impressed and gave him a good grade. Tim learned that it's important to think for yourself and not just follow the crowd. And from that day on, he always made sure to use his own ideas and opinions to make decisions.篇3Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily who loved to think independently. She always wanted to come up with her own ideas and solve problems all by herself.One day, Lily's teacher gave the class a challenging math problem to solve. Instead of asking for help right away, Lily decided to think independently. She sat at her desk, furrowing her brow and scratching her head as she tried to figure out the answer. After a while, she had a sudden flash of inspiration and came up with a solution that no one else had thought of.When she proudly showed her answer to the teacher, everyone gasped in amazement. Lily had not only solved the problem, but she had done it in a completely unique and creative way. The teacher was so impressed by Lily's independent thinking that she gave her a gold star and praised her in front of the whole class.From that day on, Lily became known as the independent thinker in her class. She was always coming up with new ideas and looking at things from different angles. Her friends started to come to her for help when they were stuck on a problem, knowing that she would have a fresh perspective to offer.Lily's independent thinking not only helped her in school, but it also helped her in other areas of her life. She became more confident in her abilities and was unafraid to try new things. She learned that it was okay to make mistakes as long as she was willing to learn from them.As Lily grew older, her independent thinking continued to serve her well. She went on to become a successful entrepreneur, always thinking outside the box and coming up with innovative solutions to problems. She credited her success to her early experiences as an independent thinker and was grateful to her teacher for encouraging her to think for herself.In conclusion, independent thinking is a valuable skill that can lead to success in all areas of life. It allows us to be creative, resourceful, and confident in our abilities. So next time you're faced with a problem, remember to think independently like Lily did, and you may just come up with a brilliant solution of your own.篇4One day, I was playing with my friends at the park when we saw a stray dog wandering around. Some of my friends wanted to chase the dog away, but I thought we should help the poor dog instead.I suggested that we try to approach the dog slowly and offer it some food. My friends were a bit scared, but they agreed to help me. We found some leftover snacks in our bags and placed them on the ground near the dog. The dog sniffed the food and slowly came closer to us.I remembered that I had seen a lost dog poster near the park entrance, so I decided to call the number on the poster. The person on the phone was so happy to hear that we found the dog and said they would come to pick it up right away. Wewaited with the dog until the owner arrived, and they were overjoyed to see their pet safe and sound.After the owner left with the dog, my friends and I felt really proud of ourselves for helping out. We learned that even small acts of kindness can make a big difference. It was a great feeling to know that we did the right thing and made a positive impact. From that day on, we promised to always think independently and do what we believe is right, just like we did with the stray dog.篇5Hello everyone! Today I want to share with you a story about how I learned to think independently.One day, our teacher asked us to write an essay about our favorite animal. Most of my classmates chose popular animals like dogs, cats, and pandas. But I decided to write about a lesser-known animal called the axolotl. I thought it was really cool because it has the ability to regenerate its body parts.When I handed in my essay, some of my classmates made fun of me for choosing such a strange animal. They said I should have picked something more popular. At first, I felt a littleembarrassed, but then I realized that it was okay to have my own opinions and interests.From that day on, I started to think more independently. Instead of just following what everyone else was doing, I began to make my own choices and form my own ideas. I learned to trust myself and not be afraid to be different.As I grew older, I realized that being able to think independently is a valuable skill. It allows us to make decisions for ourselves and not just follow the crowd. It also helps us to be creative and come up with new ideas.So, don't be afraid to think for yourself and have your own opinions. It's important to be independent and trust in your own thoughts and ideas. Who knows, you might just discover something amazing, like the axolotl!篇6Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. Lily loved to read books, especially fairy tales. One day, she came across a story about a princess who was able to solve problems by thinking for herself and being independent. Inspired by the princess, Lily decided to try to be more independent in her own life.The first challenge Lily faced was choosing what to wear to school. Normally, Lily would ask her mom to pick out her clothes for her. But today, she decided to pick out her own outfit. She looked through her closet and chose a pink dress with a matching bow in her hair. When she went to school, her friends all complimented her on her outfit, and Lily felt proud of herself for making her own choice.The next challenge came during math class. Lily was struggling with a difficult problem and usually, she would ask the teacher for help. But this time, she decided to try to solve the problem on her own. She thought about the problem carefully and worked through it step by step. And to her surprise, she was able to solve it all by herself. Lily felt a sense of accomplishment and realized that she was capable of figuring things out on her own.As the day went on, Lily continued to face new challenges and problems. And each time, she tried to think for herself and be independent. By the end of the day, Lily felt more confident and empowered than ever before. She had learned that being independent and thinking for herself was not only important but also rewarding.From that day on, Lily made a conscious effort to be independent in all areas of her life. Whether it was making decisions, solving problems, or facing challenges, Lily knew that she had the power to think for herself and be independent. And she lived happily ever after, knowing that she could rely on herself to overcome any obstacle that came her way.。

独立思考
直到现在,独立思考仍然是一种激进的行为。

独立思考本该是一种普遍的行为,而事实却并非如此。

我们社会的每一次重大进步都源于独立思考。

然而,在大多数的生活圈子里,尤其是那些影响我们一生的地方——家庭、学校以及大部分工作场所——人们都对独立思考持怀疑态度。

有些机构甚至故意压制独立思考。

在有些人看来,那是一件危险的事情。

”你最后一次看到包含上述字眼的机构愿景陈述是在什么时候?还有,上一次有人问你:“你能跟我说真心话吗,真心话?”然后等着你做出翔实、充分的回答是在什么时候?
缺乏独立思考对我们来说是司空见惯的事情。

很少有人被鼓励去进行独立思考,更谈不上接受相关的训练。

他们的老师、父母和老板也是如此。

而且老师、父母和老板的老师、父母和老板也是如此。

这可绝不是给予他的毫无保留的支持与鼓励。


可是,我们偶尔也会遇到真心想培养我们独立思考的老师或导师。

他们让我们对独立思考的重要性有了浅略的认识。

13 岁时,我上了一门高级代数课。

授课的老师由于要求学生思考而背上了难缠的恶名。

第一天上课时,老师站在黑板前面说:“在你们面前的纸上写出一个数字的和。


全班35 个少男少女全都瞪大了眼睛看着她。

她重复了一遍指令:“写出一个数字的和。


我记得我握着铅笔的手出汗了。

有些人低下了头,握着手中的铅笔开始写了起来。

我真不知道他们到底在写什么。

我看见过道对面跟我坐同一排的那个女生向前探出身子,看看前面那个正胡乱写字的男生都写了些什么。

然后她飞快地写下了一个数字,并且马上用手盖住了。

老师来回踱着步,手里碾着粉笔。

我不知道她将在黑板上写什么。

这会儿,就剩下我一个人还什么都没写。

我往后一靠,向左侧过脸,悄悄地问我的朋友:“答案是什么?”“7,”她悄声说。

于是,我在纸上写下了“7”。

我一直低着头,想让自己看上去既忙着做题,又信心百倍。

在明显地感觉到我们的苦恼之后,老师问我们答案是什么。

大部分人都说是“7”。

她慢慢地走到黑板前写道:“根本就不存在一个数字的和。

” 我知道是这样的。

那你为什么不这么写呢?萨拉说是“7”。

你为什么要问她?因为---我不知道。

这就对了,从现在开始,要独立思考。

在后来的青春岁月里,我一见到这位老师就害怕。

在她面前,我根本就无法好好地思考。

但是,我记住了她的教诲,并且渐渐地开始审视它、珍视它。

我并不是劝大家像她那样,用羞辱别人的办法去教他们独立思考。

她当然没有给我们创造一个思考的环境。

要是她一开始就肯定我们的聪明才智,给我们讲讲独立思考的乐趣,要是她没有激起我们对她的畏惧,我们大家就能更深切地体会到独立思考的意义。

而且,我们在她面前也会更好地开动脑筋、思考问题。

但至少,她把独立思考的概念引入了我的学术生活。
