You probably don’t know as much as you think you do. When put to the test, most people find they can’t explain the workings of everyday things they think they understand. Don’t believe me? Find an object you use daily (an ear phone, a toilet, a stereo speaker) and try to describe how it works. We call this phenomenon the illusion of explanatory depth(解释性深度错觉). It means you think you fully understand something that you actually don’t.
We see this every day in buzzwords (流行语). Though we often use them, their meanings are usually unclear.
Several years ago, I attended a meeting where the president spoke about global business practice in the coming year. During the talk, people around the room nodded in agreement.

No matter what job you do, discovering your gaps in knowledge is necessary. An unknown gap means you might not fully understand a problem.
To discover the things you can’t explain, take a lesson from teachers. When you guide someone else, you have to fill the gaps in your own knowledge. But you don’t need to teach someone else. Explain concepts to yourself as you learn them. Get in the habit of self-teaching. Involve others in learning together. Ask them to explain difficult concepts, even if you think everyone understands them. Not only will this help you to work through new ideas, but it will occasionally uncover places where your friends don’t understand the explanations.
They can help you have a better understanding of problems.
A.An active learner usually puts it into reality. |
B.That can prevent you from solving the problem properly. |

F. They cover gaps in our knowledge, serving concepts we don’t fully understand.
G. When you do uncover these gaps, treat them as learning opportunities, not signs of weakness.
