increase in the amount of research doneon the brain.Scientists have found out the way the brain works is not so simple aspeople in general may think.Chemists fell us that about 100 000 chemical changestake place in the brain every second.Some recent researches also suggest that we canremember everything that happens to us.We,may not be able to think of the thingswe have heard and seen,but it is kept there in the storehouse(宝库)of the humanbrain.Earlier scientists thought that is not true.As long as the brain is given plenty ofexercise,it keeps its power.It has been proved that an old person who has alwaysbeen active in the mind has a quicker mind than a young person who has only donephysical work without using much of his brain.(1).In the 19th century,scientistfound that a person
