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 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 the heart of education.
   The word “critical” here has a special meaning. It does not mean taking one 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-developed film. If you are among the people who believe that speed is a measure of intelligence, 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.”
32.  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
33.  If you are a critical thinker, you will ______.
   A. think deeply about different ideas             B. trust the reports in the newspapers
   C. take one view against another view            D. criticize other people for their mistakes
34.  In the last paragraph, “something new” suggests that ______.
   A. the smarter you are, the faster you do things  
B. the faster you do things, the smarter you become
   C. speed can improve intelligence             
D. intelligence is not decided by speed
35.  What would be the best title for the passage?
   A. Thinking and Critical Thinking           B. Understanding Critical Thinking
   C. Thinking Is Natural and Human          D. Thinking Fast Means Intelligence

We all wish we had just a bit more time. Just think what you could do with an extra hour or two each day: you could finally stick to an exercise routine, or spring clean the house, or write your novel, or learn the guitar and so on.  36   But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter.
1. Get Out of Bed Earlier
