Ⅵ. 语法填空
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
Have you ever heard that we humans use only ten percent of our brains? This myth holds  61  certain appeal because if it  62   (be) true, then we couldinstantly become ten times  63   (intelligent) just by firing up that sleepy majority of the brain!
The idea that we use only a small fraction of the brain dates back to animal experiments in the 19th century. When scientists   64    (stimulate) a specific part of the brain, the animal moved  65  leg or tail. And some scientists assumed that large parts of the brain were simply useless.
 Then,  in the early 20th century,  scientists observed that stimulating certain regions of the brain had no physical effects, which are called the “silent cortex”. Today we know that in humans, much of the “silent cortex” is actually devoted to complex activities  66   language,  learning,  and imagining.
Actually, even  67   we sleep, many areas of the brain are extremely active. Would you be smarter if your entire brain constantly worked to maximum capacity?     68  (interest) enough, the opposite is probably true. The less brain activity you need to perform a  69   (give) task, the more the brain as a whole is capable   70   doing.

My friend Li Hua used to be rather poor in English, especially his terrible and strange pronunciation. Hardly could he make him understood when speaking English. Bearing a heavy load in mind, he felt desperate and upset. He dared not speak English at class. When asked questions, she was always nervous and embarrassed. The classmates always make fun of him, saying that he was speaking Japanese! Once I met him in the corridor. I told him that his pronunciation was very special and a kind of like Obama's. Believing what I said, he got greatly inspired. He spared no effort to practice speak English every day. Now, he can speak English fluent with a perfect accent.
Recently, he told me that it wasn't long after he knew that I just told a little white lie then but he appreciated badly, without which, he said, he couldn't have achieved such great progresses.
