Lesson One Thinking as a Hobby Answers: I.I have concluded that there were three grades of thinking since I was a child, while myself could not think at all.The subject of thinking was first brought up to me by my headmaster, in whose study I was shown the statuettes of Venus, leopard and the Thinker, which stands for love, nature and pure thought respectively.I was demanded to learn thinking there.People like Mr.Houghten provided me the image of Grade-three thinking, which is often full of unconscious prejudice, ignorance and hypocrisy.The grade-two thinker tends to find the deficiencies of the others, and may enjoy moments of delight, but it does not make for personal security.A still higher grade of thought demands people set out to find the truth and get it.Though these grade-one thinkers were few, I aspired to become one of them and devised a coherent moral and logical system for living.I stood to lose a great deal for my determination, but finally I dropped my hobby and turned professional in that.II.1.C 2.C 3.D 4.D 5.C 6.B 7.C 8.D 9.D 10.D 11.B 12.D 13.D 14.B 15.C 16.D 17.B 18.D 19.D 20.C III.Omitted
