You have waited 45 minutes for the valuable 10 minutes’ break. But when the bell for the next class rings, you can’t believe how quickly time has passed. If you have this experience, you’ll know how time flies when you are having fun and drags when you are bored. Now scientists have come up with a reason why this happens.
They have found that the brain changes its way to work according to how we direct our attention to a task. When we are bored, we pay more attention to how time is passing. And this makes our brains think the clock is ticking more slowly.
Recently some researchers who want to understand the conditions carried out an experiment. In the experiment, twelve volunteers watched a picture while researchers monitored (关注) their brain activity.
The volunteers were told to first notice how long a picture appeared, then the color of the picture, and thirdly, study the both. The results showed that the brain was more active when the volunteers paid attention to more subjects.
It is thought that if the brain is busy noticing many aspects (方面) of a task, it has to spread its resources, and pays less attention to the clock. Therefore, time seems to go quickly. If the brain is not so active, it spends its full energy on the passing of time. As a result, time seems to move slowly.
Next time you feel bored in class, perhaps you should concentrate on what the teacher is saying.
51. What does the underlined word “drags” probably mean?
A. Passes slowly. B. Runs quickly.
C. Moves actively.
52. What have the scientists found?
A. Time goes by fast when we have nothing to do.
B. The ten minutes’ break is important to students.
C. The brain works in different ways in different situations.
53. How did the researchers do the experiment?
A. By inviting the volunteers to have a long class.
B. By asking the volunteers to pay attention to a clock.
C. By monitoring brain activity while volunteers are watching a picture.
54. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. We will be full of energy if we’re busy.
B. Concentrating on things is a way to make people less bored.
C. Time goes slowly when the brain is noticing many things at the same time.
55. Which is the best title of the passage?
A. The best way to save time
B. The importance of planning time
C. The reason for time flying and dragging
IV. 任务型阅读(每小题2分，满分10分)
阅读下面短文，简要回答所给问题，并将答案写在相应的位置上。
Sometimes people come into your life and you know that they are there to teach you a lesson, or to help you understand who you are or who you want to become.
You never know these people who may be a classmate, a neighbor or a friend—but when you lock your eyes on them, you know at that very moment they will influence your life in some ways.
Sometimes things that happen to you may seem unpleasant, painful, or frustrating at first. But in another way, you find that without getting over those difficulties you would have never realized your ability, strength or willpower (意志力).
The people you meet and the success you get help to create who you are and who you become. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are sometimes the most important ones.
If someone loves you, give love back to them in the way you can, not only because they love you, but because in a way, they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things.
If someone hurts you, or breaks your heart, forgive(原谅) them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being careful of people around.
Self-confidence is necessary to a person. If you’re not confident, it will be hard for others to believe in you.
Learn a lesson in life each day you live!
56. Who can influence your life in some ways?
57. Are unpleasant things good for you?
58. Why are bad experiences very important to you?
59. What should you do if somebody hurts you?
60. What does the writer try to tell us?
