31．Why Do Smart People Do Foolish Things？ We all probably know someone who is intelligent but does surprisingly stupid things．What does it mean to be smart or intelligent？Our everyday use of the term is meant to describe someone who is knowledgeable and makes wise decisions，but this definition is at odds with how intelligence is traditionally measured．The most widely known measure of intelligence is the intelligence quotient，more commonly known as the IQ test，which includes visuospatial puzzles，math problems，pattern recognition，vocabulary questions and visual searches．
The advantages of being intelligent are undeniable．Intelligent people are more likely to get better grades and go farther in school．They are more likely to be successful at work．And they are less likely to get into trouble（for example，commit crimes） as adolescents．
Given all the advantages of intelligence，though，you may be surprised to learn that it does not predict other life outcomes，such as well-being．You might imagine that doing well in school or at work might lead to greater life satisfaction，but several large-scale studies have failed to find evidence that IQ impacts life satisfaction or longevity （长寿）．Most intelligence tests fail to assess the extent of rational thinking，such as real-world decision-making and our ability to interact well with others．This is，in other words，perhaps why "smart" people do "dumb" things．
The ability to think critically，on the other hand，has been associated with wellness and longevity．Though often confused with intelligence，critical thinking is not intelligence．Critical thinking is a collection of cognitive （认知的） skills that allow us to think rationally （理性地） in a goal-orientated fashion and a disposition to use those skills when appropriate．Critical thinkers have self-confidence in their own abilities to reason．They possess great flexibility in requiring evidence to support their beliefs．Critical thinking means overcoming all kinds of cognitive biases （偏见）．
Critical thinking predicts a wide range of life events．Researchers have found that critical thinkers experience fewer negative life events such as academic （"I forgot about an exam"），health （"I received HIV through unprotected sex"），legal（"I was arrested for driving under the influence"），interpersonal （"I cheated on my partner for more than a year"），financial （"I have over ＄5，000 of credit-card debt"），and so on．
Intelligence and improving intelligence are hot topics that receive a lot of attention．It is time for critical thinking to receive a little more of that attention．Reasoning and rationality more closely resemble what we mean when we say a person is smart rather than spatial skills and math ability．Furthermore，improving intelligence is difficult．Intelligence is largely determined by genetics．Critical thinking，though，can improve with training，and the benefits have been shown to continue over time．Anyone can improve their critical thinking skills．Doing so，we can say with certainty，is a smart thing to do．Why Do Smart People Do Foolish Things？ Introduction The defining term of intelligence in daily life （1） largely from how it is traditionally measured．The advantages of intelligence ●Intelligent people may have better academic and job （2） ．
●Intelligence may predict less trouble during adolescence．（3） for smart people doing foolish things●Intelligent people don't （4） enjoy greater life satisfaction or longevity．
●What most intelligence tests （5）are rational thinking skills like decision-making．
The importance of critical thinking●Critical thinkers are more likely to be （6） in life and live longer．
●Critical thinkers are rational，self-confident， （7）and open-minded．
●Critical thinking is believed to be （8）with fewer negative life events．Conclusion We should （9） more on critical thinking than on intelligence，as intelligence is something，to a large extent，that one is （10）with while critical thinking can be trained and improved．组卷：1引用：1难度：0.4

32．请阅读下面文字，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章．
【写作内容】International Museum Day falls on May 18． The debate over whether museums should be free is a big one right now． Some people share their opinions． Li Jiang
I think art exhibits should be free to the public． I do， however， think twice a year the museums should host a fund-raising event to help pay for the cost of upkeep．
They do it all the time． Wealthy buyers pay $100 for a plate and the proceeds are given to the museum． If you decide you want to buy the art， the proceeds should go to the artist， with a fee going to the museum．Su Hua
Free entrance does not attract people， nor does it encourage them to appreciate it．
Sure， there are exceptions to this， but by and large human beings tend to look up to things that are difficult or costly to access．
A better option is to charge fees for regular visitors but provide free tickets as prizes for high-achieving students and others who are likely to appreciate the reward．
