brains and even the great Albert Einstein once wrote that most people use only a small portion of the grey matter between their ears It s a theory that has often been put forward in television documentaries magazines advertisements and books over the past century But nearly all scientists now agree the 10 percent theory is completely unfounded In fact they question how this figure was ever arrived at in the first place and what areas of the brain are supposed to be unneeded The theory supposes that if 90 percent of the brain were removed a person would Still be able to function normally while in reality it is known that damage to even a small area of the brain can result in extremely serious physical injury different activities and that many areas of the brain are used at the same time for some complex activities or thought processes Throughout the course of one day most areas of the brain are active at some time even during sleep The 10 percent theory suggests that certain areas o the brain are not used but scans slow activities throughout the entire brain and not in any separate part The final argument against the 10 percent theory is the fact that doctors carefully map the brain before removing brain cancers so that they don t affect other essential areas From an evolutionary point of view it s highly unlikely butt our comparatively larger brains would have evolved from our ancestors if the extra areas were not needed In fact there is absolutely no evidence support the 10 percent theory 41 How did the 10 percent theory get such widespread popularity A It was promoted in various types of copular media B Albert Einstein argued strongly in support C It was proven in scientific research D Few people could prove it wrong 42 The underlined word unfounded is

affect the same part of the brain C The brain is less active during times of sleep D The 10 percent theory does not make evolutionary sense 44 What can we infer from the passage A People today use more of their brain than in the past B Scientific opinion about the topic of brain use is equally divided C Our understanding of the brain has changed greatly in the past decades D Modern scientists have a complete picture of how the brain works 45 What is the main purpose of the passage A To present two sides of brain theory B To criticize the 10 percent theory C To explain how brain works D To describe the history of brain research I once had my Chinese MBA students brainstorming on two hour business plans I separated them into six groups and gave them an example a restaurant chain The more original their idea the better I said Finally five of the six groups presented plans for restaurant chains The sixth proposed a catering service Though I admitted the time limit had been difficult I expressed my disappointment My students were middle managers financial analysts and financiers from state owned enterprises and global companies They were not without talent or opinions but they had been shaped by an educational system that rarely stressed or rewarded critical thinking or inventiveness The scene I just described came in different forms during my two years teaching at the school Papers were often copied from the Web and the Harvard Business Review Case study debates were written up and just memorized Students frequently said that copying is a superior business strategy better than inventing and creating In China every product you can imagine has been made and sold But so few well developed marketing and management minds have been raised that it will be a long time before most people in the world can name a Chinese brand With this problem in mind partnerships with institutions like Yale and MIT have been established And then there s the thousand talent scheme this new government program is intended to improve technological modernization by attracting top foreign trained scientists to the mainland with big money But there are worries about China s research environment It s hardly known for producing independent thinking and openness and even big salary offers may not be attractive enough to overcome this At last for China becoming a major world creator is not just about setting up partnerships with top Western universities Nor is it about gathering a group of well educated people and telling them to think creatively It s about establishing a rich learning environment for young minds It s not that simple 46 Why does the author feel disappointed at his students 用心 爱心 专心 8 A Because there is one group presenting a catering service B Because the

passage that A China can make and sell any product all over the world B high pay may not solve the problem of China s research environment C cooperation with institutions has been set up to make a Chinese brand D the new government program are aimed at encouraging imagination 48 Which is the best title of the passage A Look for a New Way of Learning B Reward Creative Thinking C How to Become a Creator D Establish a technical Environment Cultural rules determine every aspect of food consumption Who eats together defines social units For example in some societies the nuclear family is the unit that regularly eats together The anthropologist Mary Douglas has pointed out that for the English the kind of meal and the kind of food that is served relate to the kinds of social links between people who are eating together She distinguishes between regular meals Sunday meals when relatives may come and cocktail parties for relatives and friends The food served symbolizes the occasion and reflects who is present For example only snacks are served at a cocktail party It would be inappropriate to serve a steak or hamburgers The distinctions among cocktails regular meals and special dinners mark the social boundaries between those guests who are invited for drinks those who are invited to dinner and those who come to a family meal In this example the type of food symbolizes the category of guest and with whom it is eaten In some New Guinea societies the nuclear family is not the unit that eats together The men take th
