Sooner or later everyone has to write something－a thank-you note, a report at a meeting, a complaint or an apology．If you hate writing assignments in school, or if you still fear to put pen to paper, facing that empty page is almost as frightening as you’re facing a tiger．How to write it?There’s no mystery．Clear writing is just clear thinking．Here are some techniques for you．
Thinking on paper
Sit down with pencil and paper or at the computer screen and start outlining what you want to say, why it’s important, why it matters, and what its impact is on the reader．Just get the ideas down．The next step is to go back and put them in order．
Writing first sentence
Try to make your first sentence catch the reader’s eyes, because ________, the reader isn’t going to read on．Get a good, clear lead sentence that summarizes your points and that answers the reader’s question “What’s in it for me?” If you can’t do it in one sentence, then do it in two or three but keep them short．
Remembering the reader
Short, simple words are better than long words．Short sentences are better than long sentences．Remember that the goal is to communicate, not express yourselves．Most people are so devoted to what they want to say that they forget somebody else has to be able to read it．Too much information makes you lose readers before they get to the meat(某物之主要或重要的)of what you want to say．
Reading and rewriting
Read what you have written out loud, and listening for any awkward sentences．All good writers read, then rewrite．Back off a little bit from what you’re writing．It’s an old standard, but if you can, write something and come back a day late．

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.”
72．Critical thinking is important to us because if we do not think critically, _______.
A．it wi
ll 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 footed by other people’s ideas
73．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
74．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
75．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.
