 　　Lesson26 Human Brain
The human brain is divided into two sides called the right brain and the left brain. The two sides work together, but each one specializes¹ in certain ways of thinking. Each side has its own way of using information to help us think, understand, and process information.
The left side of the brain controls language. It is more verbal² and logical³. It names things and puts them into groups.
It uses rules and likes ideas to be clear, logical, and orderly⁴. It is best at speech, reading, writing and math. You use this side of the brain when you memorize spelling and grammar rules or when you do a math problem.
The right side of the brain is more visual and creative. It specializes in using information it receives from the senses of sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste. This side of the brain likes to dream and experiment. It controls your appreciation⁵ of music, colour, and art. You use this side when you draw a picture or listen to music.
Although we all use both sides of our brains, one side is usually stronger or dominant⁶. Some people are more "left-brained," and others are more "right-brained." Our dominant side influences the kinds of jobs and hobbies we have. Politicians, artists, architects, and musicians depend on their right brains. Accountants, engineers, doctors, and lawyers usually rely on their left brains.

人类的大脑
人类的大脑由左脑和右脑两部分组成。这两部分分工协作，分别负责人类的某些思维方式。每一部分都有自己利用信息的方式，帮助我们思考、理解和处理信息。
左脑控制语言能力，偏重于文字及逻辑性。它给事物命名并分类。它使用规则，偏爱清晰、有逻辑性和有条理的概念。它擅长语言、阅读、写作和数学。当你记单词拼写或解数学题的时候，你用的是这半边的大脑。
右脑偏向于形象化，有创造力。它专门用于处理视觉、听觉、嗅觉、触觉和味觉五大感觉器官传送来的信息。这半边大脑喜欢做梦和尝试。它控制着我们欣赏音乐、颜色和艺术的能力。你在画画或者听音乐时用的是右脑。
虽然我们每个人都要使用左脑和右脑，但其中有一边总是更发达一些，占主要地位。有些人的左脑更发达，而有些人的右脑更发达。哪边大脑更发达会影响到我们的工作和业余爱好。政治家、艺术家、建筑师和音乐家依赖于他们的右脑，而会计、工程师、医生和律师通常依赖于他们的左脑。
