The human brain has two sides, and each side has different work to do.
The left side of the brain controls language and number; it analyses and reasons. The right side controls our imagination; it controls our appreciation of music and our sense of rhythm. It is the right side of our brain which daydreams.
Great artists and great scientists are similar. They both use the two sides of their brains. It is well-known that Albert Einstein (1879--1955), as a great scientist, also enjoyed art, playing the violin and sailing. Einstein said his scientific discoveries grew from his imagination rather than from analysis, reason and language. He said that written and spoken words were not important in his thinking. The story goes that Einstein was daydreaming one summer’s day while sitting on a hill. He imagined he was riding on sunbeams to the far distance of the universe. Then he found that he had returned to the sun. So he realized that the universe must curve. He got this idea by using his imagination. He then used the left side of brain to apply analysis, number and reason. And finally he used language to explain it.
Traditional, established education in schools encourages us to use the left side of our brains. Language, number, analysis and reason are given more importance in our schools than imagination and daydreaming. However, we are encouraged to hop when we have two perfectly good legs! Then why don’t we give more value to visual thinking?
In fact, we all need both sides of our brains. We need to use our imaginations to think of solutions to problems and to enjoy emotional and artistic experiences. And we need to be logical and to be able to analyze and organize in order to survive day by day.
What does the author mean by saying "we are encouraged to hop when we have two perfectly good legs" (Para. 4) ?
选项
A、We needn’t hop because we are healthy.
B、Only those who have something wrong in their legs can be encouraged to hop.
C、It’s foolish of us to hop when we have two perfectly good legs.
D、We should use both sides of the brain.
答案
D
解析
句子理解题。对于词汇或句子的理解,应放在词汇或句子出现的上下文甚至整个段落或篇章中解决。本句出现在文章倒数第二段。该段先说“Traditional,established education in schools encourages us to use the left side of our brains.Language,number,analysis and reason are given more importance in our schools than imagination and daydreaming.”,该部分指出:传统教学重视左脑的开发,语言、数字、分析和推理能力比想像力的培养得到更多重视。随后说“However,we are encouraged to hop when we have two perfectly good legs! Then why don’t we give more value to visual thinking?”,注意“we are encouraged...”与前面文字用however连接,可知作者想提出不同的观点,即与传统观念不同的做法。从四个选项看,只有D符合此段落逻辑与文章总体思想。
