     Thinking is something you choose to do as a fish chooses to live in water. To be human is to think. But
thinking may come naturally without your knowing how you do it. Thinking about drinking is the key to
critical (判断性的) thinking. When you think critically, you take control of your thinking processes (过程).
Otherwise, you might be controlled by the ideas of others. Indeed, critical thinking is at the heart of education.
     The word "critical" here has a special meaning. It does not mean taking one view against another view, as
when someone criticizes another person for doing something wrong. The nature of critical thinking is thinking
beyond the easily seen-beyond the pictures on TV, the untrue reports in the newspapers, and the faulty
reasoning.
     Critical thinking is an attitude as much as an activity. If you are curious about life and desire to dig deeper
into it, you are a critical thinker. If you find pleasure in deep thinking about different ideas, characters, and
facts, you are a critical thinker.
     Activities of the mind and higher-order reasoning are processes of deep and careful consideration. They
take time, and do not go hand in hand with the fast speed in today's world: fast foods, instant coffee, and
self-developing film. If you are among the people who believe that speed is a measure of intelligence (智力),
you may learn something new from a story about Albert Einstein. The first time Banesh Hoffman, a scientist,
was to discuss his work with Albert Einstein. Hoffman was too nervous to speak. But Einstein immediately
put Hoffman at ease by saying, "Please go slowly. I don't understand things quickly."
