Critical thinking isn't about thinking more or thinking harder, but about thinking better. Training your critical thinking skills can open up a door to a better world. But the journey of being a person with critical thinking is difficult. It requires a lot of hard work and practice.

Train your questioning skills.

Asking questions is perhaps the key act of critical thinking. If you don't know what questions to ask, or don't ask the questions in the first place, you may as well not get the answer. Finding the answer is what critical thinking is all about.

Think several steps ahead.

Don't just think one or two steps ahead. Think several. Imagine you're a chess grandmaster who's fighting with someone with the ability to think several steps ahead. You have to match intelligence with him. Once the problem you are working on may begin, use your imagination to guess what the possible futures will be.

Spare at least 30 minutes a day to improve your brain function.

Spend 30 minutes in your busy day making your brain more powerful. There are a few ways that you can do this:

●Try to be active in finding the solution to a problem a day. It could be a theoretical or a personal one.

●Find the time to exercise regularly. 30minutes of exercise— as little as a walk around the neighborhood——can help improve brain function.

●Eat the right kinds of foods. Avocados, blueberries, wild salmon, nuts and seeds, as well as brown rice play an important role in keeping your brain healthy.

As long as you keep practicing, you can improve your critical thinking a lot.

根據(jù)文中“Think several steps ahead.”標題里的句子“Once the problem you are working on may begin, use your imagination to guess what the possible futures will be.”可知一旦你正在處理的問題可能開始，用你的想象力去猜測未來可能是什么。所以填guess，因在句首，所以首字母需大寫。故填Guess。

根據(jù)文中“Spare at least 30 minutes a day to improve your brain function.”標題里的句子“Try to be active in finding the solution to a problem a day.”可知試著每天積極地尋找問題的解決方案。也就是說每天要積極地解決問題。根據(jù)題干可知所給空需填副詞。故填actively。
