SAT阅读扩展素材 Do you know where words are stored in your brain…? In your temporal lobe! As you know your brain has two sides (two hemispheres) connected by the corpus callosum. So you have one temporal lobe on each side of the brain. If you are right-handed, your language is stored mostly in your lt temporal lobe. If you are lt-handed, you are not so lateralized and your language is stored a bit on both sides of your brain in the temporal lobes. Words in the brain are not stored randomly. They seemed to be quite organized. Research has shown that words that are often heard together (such as salt and pepper) or words that share some meaning (such as nurse and doctor) are connected or associated in the brain. Once you hear one, the other is activated. Here is a brain exercise whose aim is to stimulate the connections or associations between words in your temporal lobe. In the lt column you have a pair of words. Your goal is to find a third word that is connected or associated with both of these two words. The first pair is PIANO and LOCK. The answer is KEY. The word key is connected with both the word piano and the word lock: there are KEYS on a piano and you use a KEY to lock doors. Key is what is called a homograph: a word that has more than one meaning but is always spelled the same. 1. LOCK — PIANO 2. SHIP — CARD 3. TREE — CAR 4. SCHOOL — EYE 5. PILLOW — COURT 6. RIVER — MONEY 7. BED — PAPER 8. ARMY — WATER 9. TENNIS — NOISE 10. EGYPTIAN — MOTHER 11. SMOKER — PLUMBER
