The brain is the most complex part of the human
body. This three-pound organ is the seat of intelligence,
interpreter of the senses, initiator of body movement, and
controller of behavior. Lying in its bony shell and
washed by protective fluid, the brain is the source of all
the qualities that define our humanity. The brain is the
crown jewel of the human body.
The brain is like a group of experts. All the parts
of the brain work together, but each part has its own special responsibilities. The brain can be
divided into three basic units: the forebrain, the midbrain, and the hindbrain.
The hindbrain includes the upper part of the spinal cord, the brain stem, and a
wrinkled ball of tissue called the cerebellum. The hindbrain controls the body’s vital
functions such as respiration and heart rate. The cerebellum coordinates movement and is
involved in learned rote movements. When you play the piano or hit a tennis ball you are
activating the cerebellum.
The uppermost part of the brainstem is the midbrain, which controls some reflex
actions and is part of the circuit involved in the control of eye movements and other voluntary
movements. The forebrain is the largest and most highly developed part of the human brain:
it consists primarily of the cerebrum and the structures hidden beneath it. When people see
pictures of the brain it is usually the cerebrum that they notice. The cerebrum sits at the
topmost part of the brain and is the source of intellectual activities. It holds your memories,
allows you to plan, enables you to imagine and think. It allows you to recognize friends, read
books, and play games.

A. the uppermost part of the brain.

C. the upper part of the spinal cord, the mid brain, and the cerebellum
D. the upper part of the spinal cord, the brain stem, and the cerebellum
26. Why is the brain the crown jewel of the human body? Because ….
A. It is the source of all the qualities that define our humanity
B. It lays in its bony shell and washed by protective fluid
C. It is the most complex part of the human body
D. It only weighs three pounds
27. What is cerebellum?
A. It is part of the brain that controls some reflex actions and is part of the circuit
involved in the control of eye movements and other voluntary movements.
B. It is the source of intellectual activities and holds your memories, allows you to plan,
enables you to imagine and think.
C. It is the largest and most highly developed part of the human brain and consists

rote movements.

The following text is for number 36 – 39
An electric car, battery electric car, or
all-electric car is an automobile that is
propelled by one or more electric motors,
using only energy stored in batteries.
Compared to internal combustion engine
(ICE) vehicles, electric cars are quieter,
have no exhaust emissions, and lower emissions overall. In the United States and the
European Union, as of 2020, the total cost of ownership of recent electric vehicles is cheaper
than that of equivalent ICE cars, due to lower fueling and maintenance costs. Charging an
electric car can be done at a variety of charging stations; these charging stations can be
installed in both houses and public areas.
Worldwide, 6.6 million plug-in electric cars were sold in 2021, more than doubling
2020 sales, and achieving a market share of 9% of the global new car market. All-electric
cars represented 71% of plug-in car sales in 2021. As of December 2021, 16 million plug-in
electric cars were on the world's roads. Many countries have established government
incentives for plug-in electric vehicles, tax credits, subsidies, and other non-monetary
incentives while several countries have legislated to phase-out sales of fossil fuel cars, to
reduce air pollution and limit climate change.
The Tesla Model 3 became the world's all-time best-selling electric car in early 2020,
and in June 2021 became the first electric car to pass 1 million global sales. Together with
other emerging automotive technologies such as autonomous driving, connected vehicles and
shared mobility, electric cars form a future mobility vision called Autonomous, Connected,
Electric and Shared (ACES) Mobility.

D. It receives incentives from the government.

A. Tesla Model 3 became the world's all-time best-selling electric car by the end of 2020
