20. Critical thinking is the ability to think clearly and

rationally about what to believe or what to do. According to a report

on the World Economic Forum (2016), critical thinking, creativity,

and their practical application are widely accepted as the top three

skills that young people need to have in their future career.

A good critical thinker usually takes the following steps before

he decides what to do. Whenever he needs to do something, he would,

first of all, reason. He checks why he needs to do it and whether he

really needs to do it. Then, analyze. He tries to find out what it

really is and the best way to do it. After that, evaluate. He makes

sure whether he is able to do it and how to do it well. Finally, he

makes the decision and takes action. Take the "Double 11" (a popular

online shopping day in China) as an example. A few days before it, he

checks carefully what he needs and whether he really needs them, and

makes a shopping list. He goes to the online shops to compare the

quality and the prices of the things that he is going to buy. He

compares the shops that sell these things. Then he checks whether he

can afford them and in which shops he is going to buy them. Although

it takes him some time to make the decisions, he would not regret

after the shopping.

Then what would happen if he didn't think critically before he

made the decisions? After the crazy "Double 11", there were usually a

lot of complaints on the Internet. There were regrets about buying

more things than they needed. There were complaints about the poor

quality and the prices of the things they bought. There were also

complaints because they received wrong things or simply received

nothing. There were all kinds of regrets and complaints. Why so? They

had not thought critically before they made the decisions.

Critical thinking helps you make wiser decisions. It helps you

avoid wasting time, money and so on. Therefore, do look before you

leap.

【小题1】According to the passage, critical thinking is a thinking

skill that ________.

A．helps make better choices

B．will appear in the future

C．helps make quick decisions

D．makes us spend more money

【小题2】In Paragraph 2, how does the critical thinker analyze the

things he may buy?

A．He checks what he needs to buy.

B．He studies the quality and the prices.

C．He makes a proper shopping list.

D．He checks how much money he has.

【小题3】The underlined word "complaints" means that the people

________.

A．are not satisfied B．are not confident

thinking"?

C．After looking at the other team's weak points, the coach made a

new plan.

D．After hearing the stranger's words, the girl followed him into a
