The statement asserts that in the process of abtaining knowledge, students should bring a certain skepticism to whatever they study. And they should question what they are taught instead of accepting it passively. Fundamentally, it is useful for the students to bring a sence of skeptism while study. However, as far as I am concerned, this doubt should based on one’s pure attitude toward gaining knowledge rather than personal emotions. My view of point will illustrated as follow.

Generally speaking,people who dares to query tend to make great contributions. Those who oppose against the well-established system and theory first call for a brave heart and soul to stand the resistance from the out world. On the other hand it also requires an independant ability of thinking problems.
Galileo, who defied against the fixed mind of ancestors and overturned their thousands years' of stories, bravely turn his teliscope to the capacious sky and seek for truth for himself. It is his curiosity bring intrigue him to query for the so-called wisdom of that time and even the authority of religion, eventually discovered the law of uniform accelaration of falling bodies.

Let's also see Cobuniel(哥白尼，忘记怎么写了) for example, who proposed the theory of solocentered, who suspected the great conclusion of Plotem. They are the two of the greatest celebrities of that era, people of that age stongly hold the belief toward them. He bravely and stoutheartedly propose the doubt and examine for themselves.
It is a long and laborious process but worth the payment according to the contribution it makes.

Specificly, knowledge gained by studying equiped with skeptism is prone to be more stable and remebered longer. While query one knowledge, the students use his own ability to analyse the quetion and truely think by his/her own. Then the answer
ultimately clarified tend to be curved in the mind of the student. Additionally, the students who question through careful thought will comprehend the question more profoundly, as they have well-grasped the inner meaning and every detailed procedure of the question, includes the derivation of the question and the general background which laied on, thus help further extend the horizon of knowledge in a broad way.
When it comes to the way of passively accepting the knowledge, this wille tend to give rise to unawareness of misleading. Owing to the fact that he/she didn't think by his/her own mind at all, so he/she the knowledge gained is easy to forget and the student cannot touch the core point of the knowledge.

However, query should
be brought with a pure attitude of gaining knowledge but not from personal emotions such as the envy to the professor who teaches theory or the hatred toward the people who impart knowledge to query the things he/she teaches. Any negative emotions mixed on the path of abtaining knowledge will deviate sharply from the initial purpose.

In conclusion, the sense of sekptisim applied in the process of studying not only is beneficial for the deeper understanding of the knowledge but also helps make great contribution to the society as from the purely attitude of longing for knowledge and the overall well-being of the society.
