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 went 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 third1y, study the both. The results showed that the brain was more active when the vo1unteers paid attention to more subjects.
It is thought that if the brain is busy noticing many aspect(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.
( ) 29. What does the underlined word “drags” probably mean? A. passes slowly B. runs quickly C. moves actively ( ) 30 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. ( ) 31 How did the researchers do the experiment? A. By inviting the volunteers to have a long class.

An atlas is a book of maps. Atlases are made with different kinds of information about different parts and areas of a country or the world. They are prepared for desk use or travel use.
Desk atlases are made for different groups of people with different needs. For example, students may use desk atlases to help learn geography, and other people may use desk atlases to study a place. A popular type of the latest atlas shows the recent fact of the world. New atlases are often carefully produced to help people learn about the changes, such as the name changes, boundary(边界) changes and other important new information.
