TEXT A

Roger Sperry and Robert Ornstein of the California Institute of Technology won a Nobel Prize in 1972.

They discovered that 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 understanding 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 brain. It is well-known that

Albert

Einstein,

a

great

scientist,

spent

time

enjoying

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. He got ideas by using his imagination. Following

this, he used the left side of brain to use analysis, number and reason and then he used language to explain it.

Usual 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,

all

of

us

need

both

sides

of

our

brain.

We

need

to

use

our

imagination

to

think

of

solutions

to

problems and to enjoy feeling and creative experiences. And we need to be logical and to be able to analyze and

organize in order to live on this world.

It is true that some people find it easier to use one side of the brain rather than the other, but all of us can use

both sides and all of us benefit by using all the powers we have.

Nietzsche,

the

well-known

philosopher,

said

that

we

add

to

our

knowledge

by

making

conscious

the

unconscious.

11. According to the passage, a great composer composes music by using

of his brain.

A) the right side B)the left side

C)both sides

D)neither side

2. Albert Einstein’s example is used to support the idea that ___________

.

A) all scientific discoveries are based on imagination

B) people should do nothing but daydream

C) using two sides of the brain is important

D) scientists are good at imagining what may happen

13. It is implied in the passage that regular education___________.

A) should be praised because it suggests using both sides of the brain

B) finds it very important to have daydreams

C) claims that analysis and reason are of no value

D) fails to develop the right side of the brain

14. What did Nietzsche say about adding to the knowledge we have?

A) Learning happens when we are not conscious.

B) Learning happens when we make unconscious decisions.

C) Learning happens when we become aware of things inside us.

D) Learning happens when we think about things logically.

TEXT B

Telecommuting

—

substituting the computer for the trip to the job

—

has been welcomed as a solution to all

kinds of problems related to office work.

For

workers

it

promises

freedom

from

the

office,

less

time

wasted

in

traffic,

and

help

with

child

-

care

conflicts.

For

management,

telecommuting

helps

keep

high

performers

on

board,

minimizes

delays

and

absenteeism by eliminating commutes(

乘车来往

), allows periods of solitude for high

-

concentration tasks, and

provides

scheduling

flexibility.

In

some

areas,

such

as

Southern

California

and

Seattle,

Washington,

local

governments are encouraging companies to start telecommuting programs in order to reduce rush

-

hour traffic

jams and improve air quality.

But these benefits do not come easily. Making a telecommuting program requires careful planning and an

understanding of the differences between telecommuting realities and popular images.

Many workers are tempted by rosy images of life as a telecommuter. A computer programmer from New

York City moves to the peaceful Adirondack Mountains and stays in contact with her office through computers.

A manager comes in to his office three days a week and works at home the other two. An accountant stays home
