问题     Our brains are the best computers in the world! Furthermore, as with our muscles, the more we use our brains, the more their capacity increases.
    The brain looks like the inside of a walnut. It is divided into two hemispheres, which are connected to each other by a complex network of 300 million nerve fibers. The right hemisphere processes music and rhythm; forms, dimensions, colors and patterns, as well as intangible concepts like love, beauty and loyalty. The left brain works analytically: it deals with such activities as speech, logic, numbers, sequencing, and math. Thus, the halves are complementary: the right brain synthesizes and left rationalizes. Each side helps improve the performance of the other.
    When the two halves of brain are working together, the total performance is much better than when only one is used. Most scientists agree that learning systems that are oriented to only one side of the brain might actually limit intellectual development. They believe people should utilize all of their brains. The better the connection between the two halves, the greater the potential is for learning and creativity. This negates the popular belief that the artists and musicians, who have developed their "right brain" , are not good at logic or mathematics. Furthermore, there is some evidence that practice of mediation increases the synchronicity between right and left brains and results in creative thinking.
    The world has seen several individuals who exhibited signs of having integrated whole brain thinking. The famous physicist Albert Einstein is an excellent example of a great thinker with left and right brain synchronicity. Everyone knows his complex thinking produced the theory of relativity, but very few people are aware that he was also a very good violinist. Leonardo da Vinci is another example. Not only was he a talented artist, but he was also one of the greatest mathematicians and scientists of his day, who left detailed drawings of flying machines centuries before the first airplane left the ground.
    Researchers have also found some significant male/female differences in mental processing especially relevant to creativity. Each gender has different left mode and right mode specialties. Some examples of these are the purported strengths men show in spatial visualization and those that women show in verbal skills. To take advantage of these differences, there should be a balance of males and females on creative teams. Teams comprised of only males or only females can be mentally incomplete, often jumping to early conclusions, arriving at poor solutions or both.
The constant employment of brain may ______.
选项 A、sharpen its proper functions
B、expand its storage capacity
C、improve effectiveness of its network
D、reinforce connection of its two halves
答案A
解析 本题的题干中无明显的标志性词，可能增大了考生迅速定位文章的难度。遇到这种情况，考生要注意从题干和原文中找同近义词，对答案范围进行定位。如题干中的employment其实是文中use的同义置换，constant是the more we use的同义表达，这样一来，答案的位置就相对比较确定。
