5/ 27
The left side of the brain controls language and number; it analyses and reasons. The right side controls our imagination; it controls our appreciation of music and our sense of rhythm. It is the right side of our brain which daydreams. Great artists and great scientists are similar. They both use the two sides of their brains. It is well-known that Albert Einstein (1879 – 1955), as a great scientist, also enjoyed art, playing the violin and sailing. Einstein said his scientific discoveries grew from his imagination rather than from analysis, reason and language. He said that written and spoken words were not important in his thinking. The story goes that Einstein was daydreaming one summer’s day while sitting on a hill. He imagined he was riding on sunbeams to the far distance of the universe. Then he found that he had returned to the sun. So he realized that the universe must curve. He got this idea by using his imagination. He then used the left side of brain to apply analysis, number and reason. And finally he used language to explain it. Traditional, established education in schools encourages us to use the left side of our brains. Language, number, analysis and reason are given more importance in our schools than imagination and daydreaming. However, we are3

Then why don’t we give more value to visual thinking? In fact, we all need both sides of our brains. We need to use our imaginations to think of solutions to problems and to enjoy emotional and artistic experiences. And we need to be logical and to be able to analyze and organize in order to survive day by day. 16. According to the passage, the left side of the brain ________. A) controls language and number B) controls our imagination C) daydreams D) controls our sense of rhythm 17. What does the author want to show by using the example of Einstein? A) Great scientists are also great artists. B) The left side of Einstein’s brain is very powerful. C) Einstein is a genius whose two sides of the brain are strong. D) The two sides of the brain are equally important. 18. What do we learn about Einstein from the passage? A) He could play the violin well. B) He said his scientific discoveries are acquired by analysis rather than by daydreaming. C) He was the first person to discover the track of the sun. D) He was disgusted at language.
19. What does the author mean by saying “we are encouraged to
