36、ndeed, critical thinking is at the heart of education. The word critical here has a special meaning.

37、he pictures on TV, the untrue reports in the newspapers, and the faulty reasoning （错误的推 理）. 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
