The author asserts that students should require a certain skepticism to whatever they study instead of accepting it passively and they are advocated to questioning the knowledge taught by teachers. In my opinion, not any student in any stages of their education ought to require skepticism and improper skepticism could be counterproductive for one's education.

Admittedly, skepticism is important for us to make progress in the science field and develop our society better. Without skepticism, Nicolaus Copernicus cannot advanced the theory that the earth and other planets revolve around the sun, and disrupt the Ptolemaic system of astronomy.
Without skepticism, Galileo Galilei would not make a famous experiment that two balls fall to the ground at the same time in Leaning Tower of Pisa and thence disrupt the theory of Aristotle. Without skepticism, Karl Marx cannot finish his great work Das Kapital and socialism cannot appear in today's society. Even so, skepticism should be advocated in the specific situations.

For primary and secondary school students, there is no doubt to teach them the importance of questioning, which will play a key role in their future study. However, most of the knowledge they are taught are universal knowledge and basic skills. It is of no concern for them to question whether parallel lines could converge, whether The Most Excellent and Lamentable Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is written by W. William Shakespeare and why the world is round. All they are required to do is accepting most of the textbook materials and developing important academic skills to improve their abilities, which can enable them to have some reasonable and meaningful skepticism in the future study.

As for university students, they should be encouraged to think critically in a proper way as a scholar in order to make some significative discovery. In the natural science field, they should not waste time on being skeptical of minor details, which may involve them in a cul-de-sac and fail to investigate essential or main aspects. In the history field, there is no point in making comments on what have happened, while the only thing worth to do is to find the relative reasons and learn lessons from it, which will instruct us to make more sensible decision in today's life. In the literature field, we should not focus all our attention to the outward form of the literature works and it is more necessary to be skeptical to the minds of the authors which could be reflect from their works.

In sum, although skepticism is very important, we should take advantage of it in a proper way to avoid some unnecessary problems. Only by this can we make advances in science and technology and develop society better and better.

In my opinion, not any student in any stage of their education ought to require skepticism and improper skepticism could be counterproductive for one's progress. So we should make use of skepticism in a proper way.

Admittedly, skepticism is important for us to make progress in the science field and develop our society better. Without skepticism, Nicolaus Copernicus cannot advanced the theory that the earth and other planets revolve around the sun, and disrupt the Ptolemaic system of astronomy.

Even so, skepticism should be advocated in the specific situations.
For primary and secondary school students, most of the knowledge they are taught are universal knowledge and basic skills. So they cannot be true skeptics, who are required a certain accumulation of knowledge and experience. It is of no concern for them to question whether parallel lines could converge, whether The Most Excellent and Lamentable Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is written by W. William Shakespeare and why the world is round. Therefor, what they are required to do is accepting most of the textbook materials and developing important academic skills, which can enable them to recognize problems with a deep understanding and a broad view, so that they can bring some reasonable and meaningful skepticism in the future study.

As for university students, although they have received much education, they should be encouraged to think critically in a proper way as a scholar in order to make some significative discovery. There is no point on wasting time on being skeptical of minor details, which may involve them in a cul-de-sac and enable them to fail to investigate essential or main aspects. For example, in the history field, it is no use of
being skeptical of the history facts themsleves; the only thing worthy to do is to question the unilateral estimation of certain historical figures and events, so that we can make a comprehensive evaluation of them. Another example is in the literature field; we should not focus all our attention on the outward form of the literature works and it is more necessary to be skeptical to the minds of the authors which could be reflected from their works so that we can put forward more ponderable opinions.

In sum, although skepticism is very important, we should take advantage of it in a proper way to avoid some unnecessary problems. Only by this can we make advances in science and technology and develop society better and better.

-------------一改 梦想在路上-------------------------

According to the statement, the speaker claims that students should keep skepticism on whatever they study instead of accepting it passively. It has some merits from a normative standpoint, though it seems too extreme to some extent. In my opinion, I generally agree with the speaker’s assertion because the skepticism can indeed benefit the developments of both education and society.

To begin with, it is fundamentally believed that students should question what they are taught but not accept it passively, on both respects of students and teachers. On one hand, being skeptic is not a radical way of thinking, but a logical thought process. It is useful to cultivate students’ independent thinking capabilities, raise the positivity and activity of learning, thereby stimulating further understanding of knowledge. The progress of skepticism is likely to avoid students’ learning by rote. We all know that one must have understood before being able to doubt about it.(怎么觉得这句和前后都没关系呢！！) On the other hand, it is instrumental for teachers to improve their educating qualities. Since comparing with students learning passively, teachers should pay more attention about methodologies of educating, accuracy of expression, extensity of professional knowledge and so forth. Therefore, the skepticism is helpful for educational system to develop even more healthily.
  
Moreover, aside from the benefits in education, the skepticism is the foundation of uninterrupted innovation and progress of a society, since, actually, many exist(existent) authoritative knowledge have some undiscovered mistakes and leaks. If we keep on blindly following the forebears’ theories or results，the society cannot develop continually. For instance, in the realm of science, Nicolaus Copernicus, a Polish astronomer who founded the modern astronomy based on heliocentric cosmology, completely challenged the former theory, Ptolemaic system, in the early 1500s. Hence, any society is not able to advance without updating knowledge in various areas and knowledge cannot be maintained fresh by themselves unless by effects of skepticism from varied realms.

Admittedly, the speaker unfairly suggests that students should question whatever they are taught, as the statement appears to ignore certain negative effects to which extreme skepticism might lead, especially in following two aspects. For one thing, education should encourage students to propose their own views and judgments only after careful and overall investigations and researches, which are based on large accumulation of knowledge. Otherwise it will become irrational. Can you imagine a schoolchild query the basic theories of subjects such as physics, mathematics, chemistry and so forth? For another, the basic norms of a society, like ethic and moral regulations, laws and so on, which cannot be allowed to challenged by students who are lacking abilities to distinguish right from wrong. Can you imagine juveniles obey cords of conduct, such as drinking under 18 years old, driving without license, theft and robbery, drug abuse and trafficking, because of their questioning the rightness of them? Consequently, the extreme skepticism is not scientific and suitable but harmful for the farther(further) development and prosperity of the society.

In sum, I basically agree with the speaker’s assertion that students should have skepticism during learning period rather than accept whatever they are taught passively, although the skepticism must be based on certain prerequisites.

//整体感觉很棒，文章结构清晰，内容详实！很有浑然一体的感觉！我觉得第三段能够再加一个促进社会发展（科学知识以外的）的例子就更好了。然后在文章结尾处做个升华：如果能够再拥有一定知识和能力的基础上，对问题提出合理的质疑，并通过研究调查最终解决问题，这样我们就能在推进科学技术的进步和促进社会发展上获得更大的成就！
