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 the best title for this passage?
选项
A、Bodily communication.
B、Bodily Actions.
C、Spoken Language.
D、Conversations.
答案
A
解析
本题问本文的最佳标题是什么。利用浏览式阅读法,我们发现,文章第一段指出,人们在思维时不仅仅用大脑,而是人体整体的综合作用。第二段指出,人的头脑也是人体所在做的事情的反映。根据第三、四、五段,作者阐述了人们在交流时,人体各部位的活动所起的作用。因此,全文最佳标题是A“人体的整体交流”。而B“人体的动作”,C“口头语言”,D“对话”,这三个选项都不能概括全文内容,均为错误选项。本题的正确答案是A。
