Unit 1 Have you ever heard people say that they tend to be more of a right- brain or left- brain thinker?From books to television programs, you have probably heard the term mentioned numerous times, or perhaps you have even taken an online test to determine which type best describes you. Do different parts of the brain really control different bodily and mental functions? Over the years, a theory that has gained in popularity is that the right brain and the left brain are responsible for different modes of thought and that the way in which a person thinks will depend on which side of his brain works more actively. People who rely more heavily on the right half of their brain tend to be more imaginative and spontaneous. They are interested in patterns, shapes and sizes, for the right brain is associated with artistic ability like singing, painting, writing poetry, etc. Left-brain dominated people are quite opposite in the way they think. They tend to be more logical and analytical in their thinking and usually stand out in mathematics and word skills. While the different functions of the two brain parts may have been distorted and exaggerated by popular psychology, understanding your strengths and weaknesses in certain areas canI help you develop better ways to learn and study. For example, if you are usually stumped in trying to follow verbal instructions, an activity often cited as a right-brain characteristic, you can benefit from writing down directions and developing better organizational skills. 你听过⼈们说他们更倾向于右脑或左脑思考者吗?从书籍到电视节⽬，你可能听过⽆数次提 到这个词，或者你甚⾄参加过在线测试，以确定哪种类型最适合你。 ⼤脑的不同部位真的控制着不同的身体和⼼理功能吗?多年来，⼀种越来越流⾏的理论是， 右脑和左脑负责不同的思维模式，⼀个⼈的思维⽅式将取决于他的⼤脑哪个部分更活跃。 那些更依赖右半脑的⼈更有想象⼒和⾃发性。他们对图案、形状和⼤⼩感兴趣，因为右脑与 唱歌、绘画、写诗等艺术能⼒有关。他们在思维上更有逻辑性和分析性，通常在数学和⽂字 技能⽅⾯表现突出。 虽然⼤脑两个部分的不同功能可能已经被⼤众⼼理学扭曲和夸⼤了，但是了解你在某些领域 的优缺点可以帮助你找到更好的学习和学习⽅法。 例如，如果你在尝试执⾏⼝头指令时遇到了困难，这种⾏为通常被认为是右脑的特征，你可 以从写下⽅向和⽅向中获益 发展更好的组织能⼒。
