Write a short composition based on one of the texts you have learned in about 150 words.
Topic: List two of the things Carl Sagan mentions in his article “Twelve things I Wish They Taught Me at School” and explain why you think them important.
【正确答案】：
     OF THE THING CARL SAGAN WISHED HE HAD LEARNED IN HIGH SCHOOL, I THINK "DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK 'STUPID' QUESTIONS" AND "EVERYONE MAKES MISTAKES" ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN OTHERS.
     IF WE ARE EAGER TO LEARN, WE ARE SURE TO FIND A LOT OF THINGS WE DON'T UNDERSTAND. ASKING QUESTIONS IS A WAY OF LEARNING. QUESTIONS THAT ARE REGARDED AS "STUPID" MAY BE INTELLIGENT AND PROFOUND ONES. THEY MAY LEAD TO IMPORTANTDISCOVERIES, AND WHILE TRYING TO GET ANSWERS WE MAY GAIN INSIGHTS INTO MATTERS OF IMPORTANCE. 
     IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT OUR UNDERSTANDING IS LIMITED AND THAT WE CAN'T AVOID MAKING MISTAKES. WHAT IS IMPORTANT IS TO LEARN FROM OUR MISTAKES. IN OTHER WORDS, WE MUST THINK HARD AND TRY TO FIND OUT WHY WE MAKE MISTAKES SO THAT WE WILL NOT MAKE THE SAME OR SIMILAR MISTAKES AGAIN. THIS THINKING PROCESS IS AN IMPORTANT ASPECT OF LEARNING.
