You watch a sad ilm and get caught up in your emotions. You cry your eyes out at the 41 plot —

you feel sad or the characters i they suer, or happy or them when they are successul. It is only

when the movie is over that you realize that what you were watching is not real.

But why couldn't you accept that when you were so 42 in the movie? It was reported that people simply cannot think emotionally and logically at the same time.

It has long been known that something dierent goes on in our brain when we use logic, rather than responding to something emotionally. Thinking logically is a step-by-step 43 , in which people

make decisions through 44 and ind answers sensibly. When we think emotionally, we look at

things rom someone else's point o view and try to eel their pain.

Now scientists have ound that thinking logically and emotionally are like the two ends o a (跷板) —when we're busy sympathizing, the part o the brain used or cold, hard 45

is restricted. And it's also true the other way round.

To come to this46, scientists gathered 45 people —men and women —to take brain scans as they 4 / 13

solved dierent kinds o puzzles. Some o the puzzles were47 and involved math and physics and

s shoes. 'others were social problems that required participants to put themselves in other peopleScientists ound that when participants were doing a math problem, the region in their brain that is

or region decisions, the when asked to make emotional and 48with logical thinking lit up, emotional thinking lit up. But the most interesting part is that when asked to solve problems that required both logical and emotional 49 , the participants always used one o the regions at a time while the other one went dark.

However, people sometimes ended up using the wrong one. This explains why some people

are good at solving complex math problems but have poor social skills. And why even thesmartest people get taken in by ake but 50 stories.
