The brain is the boss of the body. Your eyes, ears, nose, and skin tell your brain what is going on
around you. Other parts of your body tell your brain what is going on inside of you. Your brain takes in
the signals. It tells your body what to do with them. When you touch fire, your skin tells your brain that your
finger is too hot. Your brain tells you to move your finger. All these happen very fast. Your brain also
controls your breathing,blinking (眨眼), and heart beat. It controls your feelings and thoughts too.
