What do we think with? Only the brain? Hardly. The brain is like a telephone exchange. It is the switchboard, but not the whole system. Its function is to receive incoming signals, make proper connections, and send the messages through to their destination. For efficient service, the body must function as a whole.
But where is the "mind"? Is it in the brain? Or perhaps in the nervous system? After all, can we say that the mind is in any particular place? It is not a thing, like a leg, or even the brain. It is a function, an activity. Aristotle, twenty-three hundred years ago, observed that the mind was to the body what cutting was to the ax. When the ax is not in use, there is no cutting. So with the mind. "Mind," said Charles H. Woolbert, "is what the body is doing. "
If this activity is necessary for thinking, it is also necessary for carrying thought from one person to another. Observe how people go about business of ordinary conversation. If you have never done this painstakingly, you have a surprise in store, for good conversationalists are almost constantly in motion. Their heads are continually nodding and shaking sometimes so vigorously that you wonder how their necks can stand the strain.
Even the legs and feet are active. As for the hands and arms, they are seldom still for more than a few seconds at a time.
These people, remember, are not making speeches. They are merely common folk trying to make others understand what they have in mind. They are not conscious of movement. Their speech is not studied. They are just human creatures in a human environment, trying to adapt themselves to a social situation. Yet they converse, not only with oral language, but with visible actions that involve practically every muscle in the body.
In short, because people really think all over, a speaker must talk all over if he succeeds in making people think.
Which of the following is true?
选项
A、The brain is compared to a telephone exchange.
B、The mind is an activity of the nervous system.
C、Some people remain still while talking to others.
D、Many people move their bodies on purpose while talking.
答案
A
解析
本题是一道判断是非题。针对所给的四个选项,利用查阅式阅读法,结合原文内容,我们可以根据文章第一段中指出的,人的大脑就如电话局的交换台,从而找到本题的正确答案A。选项B“思维是神经系统的活动”,C“有些人在与别人谈话时身体保持静止不动”,D“许多人在说话时有意地移动身体”,这几个选项所涉及的内容文章中没有提及,因此都是错误选项。
