II。 阅读理解（每小题2分，满分30分。请将答案涂在答题卡上对应位置。）

A

We all know what a brain is。 A doctor will tell you that the brain is

the organ of the body in the head. It controls our body's functions，

movements, emotions and thoughts。 But a brain can mean so much

more。

A brain can also simply be a smart person。 If a person is called brainy，

she is smart and intelligent。 If a family has many children but one of them

is super smart， you could say “She’s the brains in the family。” And

if you are the brains behind an organization, you are responsible for

developing or organizing it.

Brain trust is a group of experts who give advice。 Word experts say the

phrase “brain trust" became popular when Franklin D。 Roosevelt first

ran for president in 1932. Several professors gave him advice on social and

political issues facing the U。S。 These professors were called his “brain

trust.” 学必求其心得，业必贵于专精

These ways we use the word “brain” all make sense。 But other ways

we use the word are not so easy to understand。 For example， to

understand the next brain expression， you first need to know the word

“drain". As a verb， to drain means to remove something by letting it

flow away。 So a brain drain may sound like a disease where the brain

flows out the ears。 But, a brain drain is when a country’s most educated

people leave their countries to live in another。 The brains are， sort of,

draining out of the country。

However, if people are responsible for a great idea， you could say they

brainstormed it。 Here, brainstorm is not an act of weather. It is a process

of thinking creatively about a complex topic. For example， business

leaders may use brainstorming to create new products, and government

leaders may brainstorm to solve problems。

If people are brainwashed， it does not mean their brains are nice and

clean。 To brainwash means to make someone accept new beliefs by using

repeated pressure in a forceful or tricky way。 Keep in mind that

brainwash is never used in a good way。
