16、e identified as the beginning of this tradition was in 1582, in France. New Years Day was celebrated on March 25 and celebrations lasted until April 1st. When New Years Day as changed from March 25 to January 1st in the mid-1560s by King Charles IX, there were some people who still celebrated it on

17、April 1st and those people were called April Fools.Pranks performed on April fools Day range from the simple, (such as saying, “Your shoes untied !), to the elaborate. Setting a roommates alarm clock back an hour is a common gag. The news media even gets involved. For instance, a British short film

18、once shown on April fools Day was a fairly detailed documentary about “spaghetti farmers“ and how they harvest their crop from the spaghetti trees. Whatever the prank, the trickster usually ends it by yelling to his victim, “April Fool !“April fools Day is a “for-fun-only“ observance. Nobody is expe

23、to answer that experts and religious leaders tell us “the troth“. We tend to believe that things advertised on television or in newspapers cant be bad for us.However, encouragement of critical thinking in students is one of the goals of most colleges and universities. Few professors require students

24、 to share the professors own beliefs. In general, professors are more concerned that students learn to question and critically examine the arguments of others, including some of their own beliefs or values. This does not mean that professors insist that you change your beliefs, either. It does mean,

25、 however, that professors will usually ask you to support the views you express in class or in your writing.If your premises (前提) are shaky, or if your arguments are not logical, professors personally point out the false reasoning in your arguments. Most professors want you to learn to recognize the

26、 premises of your arguments, to examine whether you really accept these premises, and to understand whether or not you draw logical conclusions. Put it this way: professors don t tell you what to think; they try to teach you how to think.On the other hand, if you intend to disagree with your profess

27、ors in class, you should be prepared to offer a strong argument in support of your ideas. Arguing just for the sake of arguing usually does not promote a critical examination of ideas. Many professors interpret it as rudeness.（分数：4.00）(1).In the first paragraph, the writer tries to tell us that peop
