Question

6．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．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 thingking is thingking beyond the easily seen-beyond the pictures on TV，the untrue reports in the newspapers，and the incorrect reasoning．
Critical thinking is an attitude（态度）as much as an activity．If you are curious about life and desire to dig deeper（希望深挖）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（高阶推理）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 somethingnew 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．"
