THE BRAIN: MYTHS AND FACTS
There are a lot of myths about the human brain. We are going to tell you a little about these myths,
and we are also going to give you the truth.
One of the biggest myths is that we only use 10 percent of our brains. The next part of that myth is
that if we can learn to use the rest of our brains, then we will be much smarter. People say this all the time,
but it is absolutely not true. The truth is that although we don’t know everything about the human brain,
we know that each part of it has an important function. Modern scientists call the “10 percent myth”
ridiculous.
The other most popular myth is about being “right brained” or “left brained”. According to this myth,
people who use the right side of their brains tend to be more artistic and creative. People who use the left
side of their brains tend to be better at maths and science. This myth is as popular as the 10 percent myth,
and it is also wrong. In 2013, a study at an American university examined the right brain and left brain
myth. According to the study, we use both sides of our brains equally.
It is true that we use different parts of our brains for different things: We use our left side for language
more, and our right side when we need to pay attention. But there is no evidence that creative people use
the right side more, or that scientific people use the left side more.
We have talked about myths, so let’s look at a few interesting facts about the brain. First of all, the
brain feels no pain. Second, about 75 percent of the brain is made of water. It is also the fattest organ in
your body. Another interesting fact about the brain is that around the time you turn 18 years old, it stops
growing.
Question 30. According to the myth, what is true about the left side of our brains?
A. Creative people use that side more. B. Hardworking people use that side more.
C. Scientific people use that side more. D. Young people use that side more.

Question 31. What can we say about the left brain - right brain myth?
A. It is popular as the 10 percent myth. B. It is actually correct.
C. It is older than the 10 percent myth. D. Only university students believe it.
Question 32. Which of the following is true about the human brain?
A. Each part of the brain has a specific function.
B. People don't care about the 10 percent myth.
C. Scientists partly agree with the common myths.
D. It cannot help us feel pain.
Question 33. The word "ridiculous" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. imaginary B. unreasonable C. deceitful D. cheating
Question 34. What did the study at the American university say?
A. Creative people use the right side of their brains more.
B. Scientific people use the left side of their brains more.
C. People use both sides of their brains equally.

WILL SHORTZ: PUZZLE MAKER
When you ask a child what they would like to be when they grow up, common responses might include
firefighter, pilot, doctor, or athlete. But those jobs don't capture the attention of all kids. Take Will Shortz,
for example. In eighth grade, at the age of 14, Shortz had to write an essay about what he wanted to do
with his life. He wrote about his desire to become a puzzle maker - someone who creates games and
puzzles, such as sudoku or crossword puzzles. That same year, he sold his first puzzle to the magazine
Venture. By the age of 16, Shortz was regularly contributing puzzles to magazines.
In college, Shortz found that there was no traditional way to study puzzles or become a puzzle maker.
There were no classes offered on puzzles. Fortunately, after becoming bored with his economics studies,
Shortz learned that his university offered a special program that allowed students to suggest and create
unique fields of study. After creating and completing two courses on word and math puzzles, Shortz
switched his major to enigmatology - the study of puzzles.
Shortz and his professors then created new classes that explored all aspects of puzzle-making. He
studied the history, construction, and psychology of puzzles, mostly on his own. Because there were no
professors of enigmatology, Shortz realized that he probably was the only student at his university to
know more about his field than any of his professors.
He did well in school, but upon graduating, Shortz did not know how to get a job creating puzzles.
For summer work, he joined the magazine Penny Press, where he realized that he could find work as a
puzzle editor. Shortz then found a job creating and editing puzzles for Games magazine. This seemed like
a dream job because he could create new kinds of puzzles and be surrounded by great puzzle makers.
After 15 years at Games, Shortz accepted a position as the editor of The New York Times’ crossword
puzzle. When he first joined, the newspaper’s crossword puzzle was seen as very difficult, and few readers
could complete it. Shortz made fundamental changes, such as including everyday language in the clues
and answers so that many more people could enjoy it. Today, he credited with making the crossword
appealing to a wider audience. Some of Shortz’s most famous puzzles have related to the news for that
day, such as the name of the winning president on Election Day, and a love-themed puzzle on Valentine’s
Day.
