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．”

Biomass energy (生物能).often forgotten as a promising alternative (替代物) to oil, received its day in the sun with the gathering of the Bio-Energy World Congress and Exposition in Atlanta, Georgia, late in April, 1990. Nearly 1, 700 scien??tists, businessmen, and policy-makers, one-quarter from the foreign nations, gathered for a week to discuss various means of squeezing usable energy out of trees, crops, manure, sea??weed, algae, and urban waste. Biomass in the United States contributes 2. 5 percent of the total supply, but this amount can be doubled by 2000 and then doubled again by the year 2010.

Eight percent of Sweden’s energy supply, for example, is presently coming from wood bark and pulp remainings, Sweden intends to raise this percentage by more intensive harvesting of waste food lying around in forests, and through the planting of so-called energy forests of fast-growing trees such as willow and birch.

Brazil is frequently pointed to as a nation with a major successful investment (投资)in energy coming from grains: it presently runs 330,000 automobiles on a water and alcohol (酒精) mixture, replacing 10 percent of its previous oil sup??ply. Brazilian representatives (代表) at the conference said they wish to double this in five years, with a final goal of total replacement. Most of the cars are built at the factory to use the mixture, while older models are changed through low-cost gov??ernment programs.
