You might not realize it, but your brain （ 大 脑 ） can read and understand most sentences, even disordered sentences. This may have something to do with psychology （心理学），according to Chen Qingrong from Nanjing Normal University. When we first learn how to read, we read word by word. But after we become more experienced, we read in full phrases and even sentences. People can read five to six words at one time. Also, as experienced readers, we don't pay as much attention to small details, such as word order. When we read the sentence at the beginning of this article, we read it the way we think it should be in our memory, with all the words in the right order, so it still makes sense to us. This is like when we see a person with long hair 一 we expect the person to be a girl without taking a closer look. This is also seen in many other languages, such as English. Read the following sentence: "This is because we not do read ervey letter by isetlf, but the wrod a as wlhoe." scientists believe that we remember the meanings of words mostly by their shape and layout （布局），rather than the order of the letters.
