内容正文:
Behold the human brain, its lumpy landscape, visibly split into a left and right side. This structure has inspired one of the most pervasive ideas about the brain, that the left side controls logic and the right creativity. And yet this is a myth unsupported by scientific evidence. So how did this misleading idea come about? And what does IT get wrong? It's true that the brain has a right in the left side. This is most apparent with the outer layer or the cortex. Internal regions like the stroke item, hypothalamus, filament and brain appear to be made from continuous tissue, but in fact, they're also organized with left and right sides. The left in the right sides of the brain do control different body functions such as movement and sight. The brain's right side controls the motion of the left ARM and leg, and vice versa. The visual system is even more complex. Each I has a left and right visual field. Both left visual fields are sent to the right side of the brain, and both right fields are sent to the left side, so the brain uses both sides to make a complete image of the world. Scientists don't know for sure why we have that crossing over. One theory is that began soon after animals developed more complex nervous systems because I gave the survival advantage of quicker reflexes. If an animal sees a predator coming from its left side, it's best off escaping to the right. So we can say that vision and movement control are two systems that rely on this left right structure. But problems arise when we also extend that idea to logic and creativity. This misconception began in the mid eighteen hundreds when two neurologists, broker and warney, examined patients who had problems communicating due to injuries. The researchers found damage to the patients left temporal loads, so they suggested that language is controlled by the left side of the brain that captured the popular imagination. Author robbert Lewis Stevenson then introduced the idea of a logical left hemisphere competing with an emotional right hemisphere represented by his characters doctor, jackal and mr. hide. But this idea didn't hold up when doctors and scientists examined patients who were missing a hemisphere here or had their two hemispheres separated. These patients showed a complete range of behaviors, both logical and creative. Later research showed that one side of the brain is more active than the other. For some functions, language is more localized to the left and attention to the right. So one side of the brain may do more work, but this varies by system rather than by person. There isn't any evidence to suggest that individuals have dominant size of the brain, or to support the idea of a left right split between logic and creativity. Some people may be particularly logical or creative, but that has nothing to do with the size of their brains, and even the idea of a logic and creativity being at odds with each other doesn't hold up well. Solving complex math problems requires inspired creativity, and many viBrant works of art have intricate logical frameworks. Almost every feet of creativity and logic Carries the mark of the whole brain, functioning as one.

学科网(北京)股份有限公司
$Professor, I don't quite understand . what you said about linking knowledge. Well, knowledge is like a chain, and new knowledge is best remembered by linking IT with all knowledge. The more links you create, the more you remember. Professor, I often get some words mixed up, like kitchen and chicken. Pay attention to details, study how they are different from each other. You can also create a picture for each word in your mind. Hello. professor, could you tell me why IT is much easier to forget things, to buy them, to forget how to ride de a bike? Scientists are still working on this mystery. For one thing, the memory of how to ride a bike is probably stored in a more stable area of our brain. There are so many mysteries about . our brain exactly. And at your age, your brain is developing fast, so put IT to good use.
UNIT4 Our Memory Section A What do we remember? 2a-2d Learning Objectives At the end of the class,we can : 1.听懂并识别关于记忆的四个核心问题;能提取 Green 教授给出的三条具体建议。 2. 准确朗读并运用目标词汇(link, connect, pay attention to)和句型(Why don't you...?)。 3. 在小组讨论中结合自身学习经验,就“如何科学用脑”提出个性化建议。 lead-in kitchen/chicken;house/horse;bad/bed Do you ever mix up these words? Why or why not? 弄混,弄乱 For example: Yes, I sometimes mix up these word pairs. They have similar spellings and close pronunciations. For example, kitchen and chicken look almost the same, and house sounds like horse when I speak fast. Look at the pictures and talk: Which way helps you remember things better? Why? Free talking mind map logical chain Today we'll learn how our brain works and how to improve memory from Professor Green. Look! Billy,Fu Xing and Peter are asking questions after the lecture! Pre-listening While-listening 2b Listen to the conversation between the students and Professor Green. Tick the questions students asked. What does linking knowledge mean? Why do we get some words mixed up? Why is riding a bike not so easy to forget? How can we put our brains to good use? 有效地使用某物 While-listening Knowledge linking details different picture mystery stored 链条 稳定的,稳固的 Listening Scripts Listen and repeat. Section A, 2b and 2c Billy: Professor, I don't quite understand what you said about linking knowledge. Professor: Well, knowledge is like a chain, and new knowledge is best remembered by linking it with old knowledge. The more links you create, the more you remember. Fu Xing: Professor, I often get some words mixed up, like "kitchen" and "chicken". Professor: Pay attention to details. Study how they are different from each other. You can also create a picture for each word in your mind. Peter: Hello, Professor, could you tell me why it is much easier to forget things to buy than to forget how to ride a bike? Listening Scripts Professor: Scientists are still working on this mystery. For one thing, the memory of how to ride a bike is probably stored in a more stable area of our brain. Peter: There are so many mysteries about our brain! Professor: Exactly! And at your age, your brain is developing fast, so put it to good use! Listening Scripts 2.What do you know about our brain? Watching and thinking What do you know about our brain? How does it work? 必做: 背诵1c+1e关键句(5句);完成1a词汇默写。 选做: ①(基础):仿写3句“我的记忆问题+建议”(控制句型)。 Our brain is like a muscle. The more we use it in the right way, the stronger it becomes. Don’t be afraid of forgetting. Try the methods we learned today, and you will find learning becomes easier! Post-listening I connect new vocabulary with words I already know. For example, when learning “sadness”, I link it with “sad” — but “-ness” is a symbol of a noun. re+tell v. 复述 v. 记住 Post-listening v. 打勾号 Students should use their brains well because learning is not just about memorizing — it’s about understanding, creating, and solving problems. If we train our brains wisely, we become better thinkers, better learners, and more confident in facing challenges. In my opinion, using our brains a lot helps us improve in school, feelings and social life. Summary Brain & Memory Problems:mix up words / forget things / link knowledge Solutions:link old & new knowledge / pay attention to details / build mental pictures Conclusion:Put our brain to good use! 必做: 背诵1c+1e关键句(5句);完成1a词汇默写。 选做: ①(基础):仿写3句“我的记忆问题+建议”(控制句型)。 Homework 必做: ① 听录音跟读 2b, 2c 对话 3遍,模仿语音语调;② 完成配套练习册听说部分基础题。 选做: 录制一段 1分钟的口语视频,用所学句型向同学或家人提出三条“科学用脑”的建议。 null 65565.93 $
