This opinion holds a certain appeal because if it were true, then we could instantly bee ten times more intelligent just by firing up that sleepy majority of the brain! The idea that we use only a small part of the brain dates back to animal experiments in the 19th century. When scientists stimulated (刺激 ) a specific part of the brain, the animal moved its leg or tail. If a tiny part of the brain could do something so great, what was the use of the rest of the brain? Some scientists assumed that large parts of the brain were simply useless. Then, in the early 20th century, scientists observed that stimulating certain parts of the brain had no physical effects. They named these seemingly useless parts of the brain the “silent cortex.” Today we know that in humans, much of the “silent cortex” is actually devoted to plex activities like language, learning, and imagining. Brain scans have shown that different parts of the brain bee much more active as we shift (切換 ) our attention and focus, but even as we sleep, many areas of the brain are extremely active. Would you be smarter if your entire brain constantly worked to maximum capacity (能力 )? Interestingly enough, the opposite is probably true. The less brain activity you need to perform a given task, the more the brain as a whole is able to do. 28. Why does the opinion mentioned in paragraph l seem appealing? A. People wish to bee much smarter. B. People believe it is scientific. C. People know nothing about the brain. D. People want to make little use of their brain. 29. What did scientists discover in their experiment in the 20th century? A. The majority of the brain is sleeping. B. Animals’ legs and tails have some connection with their brain. C. Stimulation on some parts of the brain causes no physical reaction. D. Certain parts of the brain are devoted to language and learning activities. 30. “Silent cortex” has proved to be______. A. sensitive to stimulation B. useful in plex activities C. responsible for physical reaction D. more active than the other parts of the brain 31. If you need less brain activity to perform a task, _______.
