16、plains how the sonar works. “When I make a click sound, it produces sound waves. These waves reflect(反射) off surfaces all around and return to my ears.

One of the biggest myths is that we only use 10 percent of our brains. The next part of the myth is that if we can learn
23、 to use the rest of our brains, then well be much smarter. People say this all the time, but its absolutely not true! The truth is that although we dont know everything about the human brain, we know that each part of it has an important function. Modern scientists think the “10 percent myth“ ridicu
24、lous (荒谬的) . 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 are more artistic and creative. People who use the left side of their brains are better at math and science. This is as popular as the 10 p
25、ercent myth, and its also wrong. In 2013, a study at a university examined the right brain and left brain myth.
