Avian influenza (禽流感), or "bird flu", is an infectious
disease of animals was caused by viruses that normally infect 【S1】______
only birds and, less commonly, pigs. Avian influenza viruses are
highly species-specific, but have, on rare occasions, crossed the
species barrier to infecting humans. 【S2】______
In domestic poultry (家禽), infection with avian influenza
viruses cause two main forms of disease, distinguished by 【S3】______
low and high extremes of virulence (毒性). The so-called
"low pathogenic (病原的)" form. commonly causes only mild
symptoms and may easily go undetected. The highly pathogenic
form. is far more dramatic. It spreads very rapidly through
poultry flocks, causes disease affecting multiple external organs, 【S4】______
and has a mortality that can approach 100%, often within 48
hours.
Bird flu is not the same as SARS. Because their symptoms 【S5】______
are similar, SARS is caused by completely different viruses.
Influenza viruses also are more infectious and cannot be as
readily contained as SARS isolating people who have the 【S6】______
infection.
The current outbreak of bird flu is different from earlier
ones in that officials have been unable to contain its spread. An
outbreak in 1997 in Hong Kong was the first time the virus had
spread to people, but it was much more quickly contained. A
total of 18 people were hospitalized with six reporting deaths. 【S7】______
About 1.5 million chickens were killed by an effort to remove 【S8】______
the source of the virus.
Unlike the 1997 scare, this outbreak has spread more rapidly
to other countries, increasing its exposure on people in varied 【S9】______
locations and raised the likelihood that the strain will combine 【S10】______
with a human influenza virus.
【S1】
A person can be good at critical thinking, meaning that the person can have the appropriate dispositions and be adept at the cognitive processes, while still not being a good (in the moral sense) critical thinker. For example, a person can be adept at developing arguments and then, unethically, use this skill to mislead and exploit a gullible (易受骗的) person, perpetrate (作恶) a fraud, or deliberately confuse and confound (挫败), and frustrate a project.
The experts were faced with an interesting problem. Some, a minority, would prefer to think that critical thinking, by its very nature, is inconsistent with the kinds of unethical and deliberately counterproductive examples given. They find it hard to imagine a person who was good at critical thinking not also being good in the broader personal and social sense. In other words, if a person were "really" a "good critical thinker" in the procedural sense and if the person had all the appropriate dispositions, then the person simply would not do those kinds of exploitive and aggravating things.
The large majority, however, hold the opposite judgment. They are firm in the view that good critical thinking has nothing to do with any given set of ethical values or social mores. The majority of experts maintain that critical thinking conceived of as we have described it above, is, regrettably, not inconsistent with its unethical use. A tool, an approach to situations, these can go either way, ethically speaking, depending on the character, integrity, and principles of the persons who possess them. So, in the final analysis the majority of experts maintained that "it is an inappropriate use of the term to deny that someone is engaged in critical thinking on the grounds that one disapproves ethically of what the person is doing. What critical thinking means, why it is of value, and the ethics of its use are best regarded as three distinct concerns.
Richard Paul describes two beneficial dispositions that are encouraged (but not guaranteed) by critical thinking education:
"Fair-minded thinkers take into account the interests of everyone affected by the problem and proposed solutions. They are more committed to finding the best solution than to getting their way." And a critical thinker "has confidence that, in the long nm, one's own higher interests and those of human kind at large will be best served by giving the freest play to reason, despite the deep-seated obstacles in the native character of the human mind and in society as we know it."
Yes, reason is useful, it is noble and desirable, it should be highly valued and carefully developed. But we should keep things in perspective, regarding what reason can accomplish. Probably most of us will agree with Paul (about the value of critical thinking) but also with the majority of experts (that becoming skilled at critical thinking does not guarantee that this powerful tool will always be used for the benefit of others).
A person who is good at critical thinking is______.
A．A tour guide.B．A cashier.C．A shop assistant.D．A waitress.
