Electricity is all around us. It's in the
computer you are using, it's in the ground under your feet, and it's in your
body. And you can't live without electricity.
Without electricity, you wouldn't be reading
this article right now. It's not because it's not bright enough without
electricity. It's because your brain wouldn't work.
Every move of your body needs the help of
electricity. The nervous system(神经系统)sends electrical signals(信号)to your brain
first, and then your brain sends them to your body. These signals don't flow
along a wire. They jump from one cell(细胞)to the next
until they get to their final place.
With so much electricity jumping around, it
may seem like the body is a great power station. You may wonder if you have
enough power to turn on TV. Well, your body can just create little electricity.
So stop dreaming.
