    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 thinking is the key to critical(批判性的) 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 interested in life and want 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(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(尺度)of intelligence(智慧), 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 made Hoffman feel comfortable by saying, “Please go slowly. I don't understand things quickly.”

(1)、Critical thinking is important to us because if we do not think critically, _______.

A、it will be hard for us to think naturally and fast B、we might be controlled by other people's ideas C、we will follow the ideas of others naturally D、we might be fooled by other people's ideas
(2)、If you are a critical thinker, you will ________.

A、take one view against another view B、trust the reports in the newspapers C、think deeply about different ideas D、criticize other people for their mistakes
(3)、In the last paragraph, “something new” suggests that ________.

A、speed can improve intelligence B、intelligence is not decided by speed C、the smarter you are, the faster you do things D、the faster you do things, the smarter you become

 阅读下面短文,根据括号内所给汉语意思、音标或首字母写出单词的正确形式(每空一词)。

Families are getting smaller in Europe and North America, but homes are not. In many {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(国家),they are getting bigger. Bigger homes are more expensive and heating {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (它们) in cold weather is worse for the environment.

It is {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (相信) that we can think about the size of our homes. Sixteen-year-old Austin Hay is building a home on his parents' drive. Although it's only 2.4 meters {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (宽的) and 3.7 meters long, it has got everything important, including a {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (浴室),a kitchen and a bedroom with a low ceiling.

"When I was a kid, I wanted to build a tree house or a boathouse," Austin explains." But this house on wheels is the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} [ˈkuːlɪst] of all."

Austin doesn't do any building during the week because he's busy with schoolwork and {#blank#}7{#/blank#} [ˈpleɪɪŋ] basketball. But on the weekend he usually works hard on his house. "At the moment I'm working on the doors, I can do it e{#blank#}8{#/blank#}, so my dad isn't helping me. He thinks I can solve it. He only h{#blank#}9{#/blank#} with the difficult things."

Austin is sleeping in his little house this summer. And in the future? "University is very expensive in the USA, but for me, it'll be cheaper. I have m{#blank#}10{#/blank#} little house, I will take it with me wherever I go."

Doing "Clean" Exercise

When you go for a run outside, chances are that you'll find rubbish all around you. Do you just go past it, or do you stop to pick it up? If you choose the second, you are part of the latest popular sport in the West: plogging. 

The word"plogging" comes from the Swedish phrase"plocka upp (pick up)" and the English word"jogging (running slowly)". What a plogger needs is a rubbish bag and a pair of gloves to protect his or her hands. While collecting rubbish, ploggers learn to classify (分类) and deal with it correctly too. 

Plogging seems simple but it does a lot of good to both the environment and your health. It can not only make the world greener, but also get you full body exercise. For example, a30- minute plogging burns around 288 calories(卡路里), compared to 235 calories burnt from just jogging. 

So next time you go out jogging, why not carry a rubbish bag and collect some rubbish along the way? Your body and the environment will thank you. 

Let's go {#blank#}1{#/blank#}!

The latest popular sport!

Just need{#blank#}2{#/blank#} and a pair of gloves!

Correctly classify and{#blank#}3{#/blank#} the rubbish!

It's simple but helpful to{#blank#}4{#/blank#} and your body! Make the world{#blank#}5{#/blank#}and yourself a lot.
