And every so often, we try to stop this endless flow of thoughts by telling ourselves to just stop thinking. But do we or can we ever really stop thinking? It depends on your definition of “thinking”,according to Michael 3 Halassa, a researcher at MIT, the US. We mainly go through each day in one of the two situations—we either realize that we're thinking or we don't. Our brains won't stop thinking completely until we die. “The brain never stops thinking in a way. Most thoughts are actually in the background so we don't notice them. And there's no real way to stop thinking,” Halassa said. You can compare this to how a computer works. Even when you aren't using your computer while it's turned on, it is still running operations “in the background”. Your computer, much like your brain, is always “thinking” even if you're not actively using it. “If you see a familiar face in a crowd and think you know him, you might not be able to come up with how you know him right away,” Halassa said.“But maybe hours later, you'll suddenly remember. That's a result of your brain thinking in the background.” We even make decisions mostly unconsciously or without realizing them. For example, some of this background “thinking” results in what we call a “gut feeling（直觉）”. During our brain's decision-making process, sometimes we create a story to explain the decision—sometimes it's accurate（精确的） but sometimes it's not. Even sitting here reading this, thinking about “thinking” is sending messages across a chain of neurons（神经元） in the brain. So if we somehowmanage to stop ourselves from “thinking”, the brain won't stop working. It will continue to have thoughts—we just won't realize them. 【主旨大意】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人的大脑一直都在思考，思维活动不会停止。 1.What will you do
