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

提纲:
1就自然科学而言,勇于挑战权威是创新和进步的源泉。
2就社会科学而言,社会的发展常常导致旧有的理论不符合实际情况,怀疑精神就更加必要。
3要质疑学校传授的知识首先要努力学好它。

Should students question whatever they are taught instead of accepting it passively? In principle, I hold a positive standpoint to that.

In the first place, the mettle to challenge authorities turns out to be the fountainhead of innovation. In nature science realm, there are lots of theories have been accepted even as axiom, actually, some of which may be false. If we can not filter those theories, science can not advance. Einstein, for instance, challenged Newton' classical physical theory which were considered as an infallible law, which lead him to his relative theory, a milestone in the history of physics.  Especially, students should have the courage to question the knowledge taught in class. Assuming a student does not dare to question what is imparted by their teachers, it is beyond their boundaries to challenge giants in science like Newton, Einstein etc.

In the second place, when it comes to society science, there are no absolutely right theories, instead whether a theory is right or wrong depends on not only the logical reasoning lines but also its premise and assumption. Even if the logical reasoning line of a theory is unquestionable, if its assumption is not accordance with the reality, the theory will do harm when it is used in real world. What's more, the situation of the society is mutale, so there must be many theories become ivory-towered. For that matter, if students accept them mechanistically, they must commit the dogmatism error. For example, in the thirties of the twentieth century, President Franklin Roosevelt implement New Deal which encouraged government to regulate economy by reinforce government expenditure. Via the policy, American government pulled American economy out of depression. From then on a lot of economists advocate government to regulate economy puissantly.  However, if President Bush intimate the policy, undoubtedly, he will destroy American economy. In that sense, the spirit to question what imparted in class is more imperative to the students of society science.

However, the ability of question is founded on the foundation of the muster of the knowledge. In order to question the extant knowledge we must learn it at first. For example, if a student of economics want to challenge the extant theory, he must know it well at first, moreover, he must have knowledge in other relative field such as history, politics, laws and so on.

In conclusion, it is necessary for students to question whatever they are taught, but that does not mean that they need not make effort to learn the knowledge well at first.

In the first place, the mettle to challenge authorities turns out to be the fountainhead of innovation. In nature science [realm], there are lots of theories [which] have been accepted even as axiom, actually, some of which may be false. If we can not filter those theories, science can not advance. Einstein, for instance, challenged Newton' classical physical theory which were considered as an infallible law, which lead him to his relative theory[ The Theory of Relativity,专用名词有固定用法], a milestone in the history of physics.  Especially, students should have the courage to question the knowledge taught in class. Assuming a student does not dare to question what is imparted by their teachers, it is beyond their boundaries to challenge giants in science like Newton, Einstein etc.[最后两句在本段造成逻辑混乱,说明学生不能持skepticism态度是因为没有勇气来挑战权威,与第一段的观点却不同;另外Einstein 并没有质疑Newton 的经典物理理论而是扩展到新的理论更完善了对物质、光的现象的解释]


In the second place, when it comes to society [social]science, there are no absolutely right theories, instead whether a theory is right or wrong depends on not only the logical reasoning lines but also its premise and assumption. Even if the logical reasoning line of a theory is unquestionable, if its assumption is not accordance with the reality, the theory will do harm when it is used in real world. [第三段的首句、第二句读完之后还是不清楚本段的论点是何]What's more, the situation of the society is mutale [?], so there must be many theories become ivory-towered. For that matter, if students accept them mechanistically, they must commit the dogmatism error. For example, in the thirties of the twentieth century, President Franklin Roosevelt implement New Deal which encouraged government to regulate economy by reinforce government expenditure. Via the policy, American government pulled American economy out of depression. From then on a lot of economists advocate government to regulate economy puissantly.  However, if President Bush intimate the policy, undoubtedly, he will destroy American economy. In that sense, the spirit to question what imparted in class is more imperative to the students of society science.[例证与学生质疑所学有些脱节]

However, the ability of question is founded on the foundation of the muster [muster可否这样用]of the knowledge. In order to question the extant knowledge we must learn it at first. For example, if a student of economics want to challenge the extant theory, he must know it well at first, moreover, he must have knowledge in other relative field such as history, politics, laws and so on.

In conclusion, it is necessary for students to question whatever they are taught, but that does not mean that they need not make effort to learn the knowledge well at first.

文章基本框架、逻辑结构完全了,语言组织、例证与观点的衔接还需加强,离AW应该还有几个月,多练一定能提高!
