阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
Thinking is something you choose to do as a fish chooses to live in water．To he human is to think．But thinking may come naturally without your knowing how you do it．Tbinking about thinking 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 a-gainst another view,as when someone criticizes another person for doing something wrong．The nature of critical thinking is thinking beyond the easily seen-be-yond 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 to-day'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 some-thing new from a story about Albert Einstein．The first time Banesh Hoffman,a scien-tist,was to discuss his work with Albert Einstein,Hoffman was too nervous to speak．But Einstein immediatelyput Hoffman at ease by saying,“Please go slowly．I don't understand things quickly．”
