7、nd if they are lucky, the Northern Lights.

On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words “PAID IN FULL”.How many times do we miss blessings because they are not packaged as we expected?

But she says that teaching children about the benefits of “enforced silence”deliberate stillness that gives them the opportunity to focus and reflect in a stress-free environmentcan have a significant

21、 effect on pupils concentration and behavior.It is the latest in a string of researches to establish a link between the classroom environment and pupils academic ability.A study almost a decade ago in London found that childrens exam results were cut by as much as a third if they were taught in nois

23、 take some research on school settings and put it all together, what we see is that education without silence does not make much sense.

28、 in class improves academic performanceDTo learn to think is to learn to question. Those who dont question never truly think for themselves. These are simple rules that have governed the advancement of science and human thought since the beginning of time. Advancements are made when thinkers questio

29、n theories and introduce new ones. Unfortunately, it is often the great and respected thinkers who end up slowing the progress of human thought. Aristotle was a brilliant philosopher whose theories explained much of the natural world, often incorrectly. He was so esteemed by the scientific community

30、 that even 1,200 years after his death, scientists were still trying to build upon his mistakes rather than correct them!Brilliant minds can intimidate upandcoming thinkers who are not confident of their abilities. They often believe they are inferior to the minds of giants such as Aristotle, leadin

31、g many to accept current paradigms instead of questioning them.I, like many thinkers of the past, once believed in my mental inferiority. I was certain that my parents, my teachersadults in generalwere always right. They were like a textbook to me; I didnt question what was written on those pages. I

32、 respected them, and accepted whatever they told me. But that attitude soon changed. My minds independence was first stimulated in the classroom.Astern,65yearold elementaryschool science teacher once told me that light is a type of wave. I confidently went through years of school believing that ligh

I read about Einsteins discovery of the dual nature of light and learned the facts of a paradox （悖论） that puzzles the worlds greatest thinkers to this day. Light behaves as both a particle and a wave, it is both at once. I realized I had go

35、ne through life accepting only half of the story as the whole truth.Each new year brought more new facts, and I formulated even more questions. I found myself in the library after school, trying to find my own answers to gain a more complete understanding of what I thought I already knew. I discover

36、ed that my parents and teachers are incredible tools in my quest for knowledge, but they are never the final word. Even textbooks can be challenged. I learned to question my sources, I learned to be a thinker. I once believed that everything I learned at home and at school was certain, but I have no

37、w discovered to reexamine when necessary.Questions are said to be the path to knowledge and truth, and I plan to continue questioning. How many things do we know for sure today that we will question in the future？ At this moment, I know that our sun will burn for another five billion years, and I kn

38、ow nothing can escape the gravity of a black hole. This knowledge, however, may change in the next 20 yearsmaybe even in the next two. The one thing we can control now is our openness to discovery. Questions are the tools of open minds, and open minds are the key to intellectual advancement.32.In th
