People say this all the time, but it's absolutely not true! The truth is that although we don't know everything about the human brain, we know that each part of it has an important function （功能）. Modern scientists think the "10 percent myth" ridiculous（荒谬的）.
The other most popular myth is about being "right brained" or "left brained". According to this myth, people who u the right side of their brains are more artistic and creative. People who u the left side of their brains are better at math and science. This is as pop
ular as the 10 percent myth, and it's also wrong. In 2013, a study at an American university examined the right brain and left brain myth. According to the study, we u both sides of our brains equally （相等地）.
It's true that we u different parts of our brains for different things. We u our left side for language more, and our right side when we need to pay attention. But there is no evidence （证据） that creative people u the right side more, or that scientific people u the left side more.

屈原的评价
He felt very strange and asked the sculptor, "Why are you making two same sculptures?
Do you need two to put in different places?"
"No, "the man said without looking up, "We need only one, but the first one became damaged before I could finish it, so I'm making a new one."
The visitor picked up the damaged sculpture and examined it. But he couldn't find anything wrong with it.
"Where is the damage?" he asked.
"There is a scratch（擦痕）on the sculpture's no." the sculptor said while continuing his work.
The man then asked, "Where are you going to place the sculpture?"
The sculptor replied that it would be placed on a 20﹣foot﹣high platform（平台）."If the sculpture is up that high, who is going to notice that there is a scratch on the no?" the man asked.
The sculptor stopped his work, looked up at the man and said, "I will know it".
