How to Practice Critical Thinking in Three Steps
It takes time to practice critical thinking （批判性思维）, but it’s never too late to start. The following three steps will help people to become critical thinkers. | |
Step 1: 21 Critical thinkers start by asking questions. They ask themselves: If this, then what? If that, then how will the result be different? They may think about all possible ideas before they make decisions. | |
Step 2: 22 Critical thinkers search for answers. They make use of all possible tools or interview people for information. Then they analyze(分析) the information with an open mind. They compare and decide what the best answers are. | |
Step 3: 23 After critical thinkers get new ideas to work out problems, they share these ideas with their teammates and get support from them. During communication with others, better ideas often come up. | |
For questions 1-3, match each step with the choices (A-D). There is one you do not need.
A．Think of Plans |
B．Look for Answers |
C．Ask Questions |
D．Share Ideas |
The Picky Eater
Howie's mother called him a picky eater. He would eat nothing much else but cheese sandwiches and tomato soup.
One day, Howie's mother told him, "Your father and I will have a meeting tomorrow evening. You can play at Ashwin's home and even stay for dinner."
"What?" Howie cried out before he could remember his manners. "I mean, that's great," he added unwillingly. Howie liked playing with his friend Ashwin, but there were no cheese san
dwiches at Ashwin's home!
"I know you are sensitive about being a picky eater, but you need to try new things. You can't eat sandwiches and tomato soup forever. I expect you to have good manners at Ashwin's home. It's rude to say no when someone offers you food, "his mother said.
The next day, Howie followed Ashwin into Ashwin's home and they played together for some time. "Why do you keep checking the time? "Ashwin asked.
