这篇没有限时，也参考了别人的提纲。

TOPIC: ISSUE153 - "Students should bring a certain skepticism to whatever they study. They should question what they are taught instead of accepting it passively."

In contemporary society, with the education system tend to pay attention only to the marks, the majority of students just accept knowledge that the are taught passively without contemplating critically. Some asserts that to get a full comprehension of what they learn, students should be skeptical to everything they study rather than take it for granted. From my point of view, I basically agree with this contention.

To start with, criticism plays a significant role in the process of learning. Before raising questions, students must have considered thoroughly about the issue, thereby comprehending better. Without thinking, they may merely learn by rote. Thus, it is difficult for them to utilize what they have learned in different conditions. And the knowledge will press a deeper impression on their minds, meanwhile with no doubt last much longer. Moreover, to be critic also help students to build up a way of thinking independently, which is essential in every aspect of our life, especially for those students who would like to do academic research.

In the second place, it is skepticism to traditions that help the society make progress. As Clarence Darrow put it (and I paraphrase), "As long as the world shall last, there will be wrongs, and it no man rebelled, those wrongs would last forever." In the realm of science, history is replete with examples of breakthrough in diverse subjects because of criticism. Albert Einstein questioned the classical theories of physical giant Newton, and finally concluded relativity theories and won the Nobel Prize. Nicolaus Copernicus challenged the fixed assumption that the earth was the center of the universe by Aristotle and published his heliocentrism, which is the base of astronomy.

Admittedly, too much inquiry may be counterproductive in the course of studying, especially for young children since they have not established a foundation of knowledge. Being over-skeptical will probably inhibit rather than encourage learning. For instance, if a pupil was taught addition, like one plus one, he couldn't stop thinking why the answer is two, which actually hasn't been attested yet, he would surely waste much time and make no progress on mathematics.

Based all the arguments given above, it is advisable for students to be critical since it is beneficial to themselves and the progress of the whole society. However, they should also keep in mind that too much skepticism may be baneful.
