To be human is to think. But thinking may come naturally without your knowing how you do it. Thinking about thinking is the key to critical  thinking. When you think critically, you take control of your thinking processes . 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 against another view, as when someone criticizes another person for doing something wrong.

Problem: Given the question: Write a multi-choice question for the following article, with the given choices and answer: Article: It is believed that it took about 800 thousand to 1 million years for the earth's population to reach the 250 million total which existed at the end of the first century AD. For some time after that, disease, famine  and war kept the population increase down to a rate of 1 percent a year so that more than 15 centuries passed before the population reached 500 million.

Scientists say that in the next 35 years the population of the world will double, reaching almost 7 billion by the year 2010.
