But modern research has found out that this is not so, for it is easy to say exactly what each part of the brain does. In the past fifty years there has been a great increase in the amount of research done on the brain. Scientists have discovered that the way the brain works is not so simple as people may think. Chemists tell us that 1000,000 chemical changes take place in the brain every second. Some recent researches also suggest that we can remember everything that happens to us. We may not be able to think back the things weve heard and seen, but it is all kept there in the storehouse of the human mind. Earlier scientists thought that power of ones brain got weaker and weaker as one grew older. But it is now thought that is not true. As long as the brain is given plenty of exercise it keeps its power. It has been proved that an old person who has always been active in the mind has a quicker mind than a young person who has only done physical work without using much of his brain. It is now thought that the more work we give our brains, the more work they are able to do.第四节 听录音并简答。你将听到一段关于学校介绍的会议发言。请根据录音内容，简答下列各题。Ladies and Gentlemen:Welcome to our school.

This is a time when children and teachers can work out what they are going to do for the day.Now if you look through the door of that big room you will see those children reading and drawing there. Some have chosen to do maths. Four of the older boys are now on their way to the Cardrome to have their driving lessons. Several children are in the kitchen helping Miss Cabell with lunch. The children take turns doing this. They all enjoy doing it.
