Thinking

Some scientists claim that we humans are the only living things that are conscious(有意識(shí)的)-we alone are aware that we are thinking.

No one knows how consciousness works –it is one of science’s last great mysteries.

All your thoughts take place in the cerebrum(大腦皮質(zhì)),which is at the top of your brain, and different kinds of thought are linked to different areas, areas, called association areas.

Each half of the cerebrum has four rounded ends called lobes(腦葉)-two at the front (frontal and temporal lobes)and two at the back (occipital and parietal lobes).

The frontal lobe is linked to your personality and it is where you have your bright ideas.

The temporal lobe is where you hear and understand what people say to you.

The occipital lobe is where you work out what your eyes see.

The parietal lobe is where you record touch, heat and cold, and pain.

The left half of the brain controls the right side of the body. The right half controls the left side.

One half of the brain is always dominant (in charge).Usually, the left brain is dominant, which is why 90% of people are right-handed.

68.Which part of your cerebrum is most active when you are making a telephone call?

A. The frontal lobe.              B. The temporal lobe.    C. The occipital lobe.            D. The parietal lobe.

69.Which of the following statements is true?

A. One’s personality has something to do with the frontal lobe.

B. Bright ideas come from the parietal lobe.

C. The occipital and temperal lobes are at the back of the cerebrum.

D. The occipital lobe is in charge of sound.

70.From the passage, we know the reason why around 10% of people are left-handed is that _______.

A.their frontal lobe is usually dominant                    B.their temporal lobe is usually dominant

C.their right brain is usually dominant                      D.their left brain is usually dominant

I got lots of interesting experiences in a free school. At first I couldn’t believe it. There were no    41    in rows or loud-sounding bells, nor did anyone have to go to    42   . Although we lived “in”,    43   made us go to bed at a certain time; there was no “ lights out”.
The    44  thing was that practically all the students went to class, and very few people stayed up late at night. Only the new people stayed up or    45  class. The new ones always went wild    46   , but his wildness never lasted long. The freedom took some getting used to. Our teachers treated us like  _47  ; never did we have to   48_   “ stand up”, “ sit down”, “ speak out”. I don’t    49    one student who didn’t try his best.
The subjects were the same as those in the ___50_____ school, but what a difference in the method!
