Контрольная работа #2

1. Переведите письменно текст.

SENSATION

Of all the features that distinguish man from animals, the most striking and the most complex is his ability to make sense to himself and to others of the world around him. He perceives, learns, thinks, remembers, and communicates in language and symbol to others. The general term used for the study of these abilities is cognition.

Through the senses we receive information about the world around us. We have at least eleven senses, but the five main ones are taste, touch, smell, hearing, and sight. Each of these senses supplies a different quality of information about our environment, but they normally work in harmony to give us a complex, multi-dimensional impression of the world. The brain is the control centre and the nerves resemble message lines transmitting information from our senses to our brain.

So far we have identified the five basic senses, but these are not the only means that man has for receiving information. The sense of touch, for example, can be divided into four separate sub-senses of pressure, pain, warmth, and cold.

Further body senses include the sense of hunger and thirst, and the sense of body movement. We can walk from place to place because of the automatic nature of our body sense. If we concentrate on each step, we trip over our own feet. The sense of body movement, called the kinaesthetic sense, also tells us our position in space. You could, for example, touch the end of your nose, with your eyes closed, without any other cues or direction. The guidance system by which your finger finds the location of your nose is the way the kinaesthetic sense operates. Kinaesthesis is a sort of muscle sense.
