We often find that weekends and holidays feel so short while classes and work feel so long. Actually, though, we know that this is not true. But we still wonder where that strange feeling comes from. In fact, this is one of the ways that we’re tricked by time, according to the website All That Is Interesting. The website lists several wrong impressions we often have about time. Let’s have a look.
First of all, emotions affect our time-keeping abilities. Negative emotions, especially anxiety and boredom, make time seem longer because they make us concentrate more on the passage of time. However, when we are enjoying ourselves, we pay more attention to what we are doing and are likely to lose feeling of time.
Here is another example. In 2007, a group of scientists carried out a test. In the test, people fell 50 meters into a safety net and were then asked about their experience. Although the experience took shorter than 3 seconds, the people thought it was much longer than it actually was. This is because of the way our bodies reply to danger, according to the scientists. Our bodies produce a chemical called adrenaline (肾上腺素) when we are faced with danger. It allows us to concentrate better so that we can stay alive. As a result, we are able to remember far more details over a short period of time, which makes it seem like time is going more slowly.
Another situation when we make mistakes about time is when we take afternoon naps (午觉). Have you ever had trouble telling what time it is after a long nap? That’s because the best amount of time for a nap is 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, you enter a new stage of sleep called slow-wave sleep. If you wake up mid-way in this stage, it will take a while before you can correctly feel time again.
Yes, time can be mysterious and there is no way to control it. So, perhaps the best thing to do is to make good use of every minute.
1.According to the passage, what possibly makes people feel so long?
A.weekends and holidays B.weekends and work
C.classes and work D.holidays and work
2.According to the passage, what will NOT happen when we are faced with danger?
A.Our bodies will produce a chemical called adrenaline.
B.We are able to feel that time seems to go more slowly.
C.Adrenaline will make us concentrate better to stay alive.
D.We will forget far more details over a short period of time.
3.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Negative emotions, especially anxiety and boredom, make time seem longer because they make us concentrate more on the passage of time.
B.When we are enjoying ourselves, we pay more attention to what we are doing and we are able to feel like time is going more slowly.
C.If we wake up mid-way after a long nap, it will take a while before we can correctly tell time again.
D.Time can be mysterious and there is no way to control it. So, perhaps the best thing to do is to make good use of every minute.

Dreams are expressions of thoughts, feelings and events that pass through our mind while we are sleeping. Everybody dreams. But only some people remember their dreams. Our dreams often include all the senses ---- smells, sounds, sights, tastes and things we touch. Sometimes we dream the same dream over and over again.
Early in the twentieth century, two famous scientists developed their personal ideas about dreams. Austrian psychiatrist (奥地利心理学家) Sigmund Freud wrote a book called “The Interpretation (诠释) of Dreams” in 1900. Freud believed people often dream about things they want but can’t have. Swiss (瑞士) psychiatrist Carl Jung worked closely with Freud for several years, but he believed dreams could help people grow and understand themselves. He believed dreams provide solutions to problems we face when we are awake. Today we know more about the science of dreaming because researchers can take pictures of people’s brains while they are sleeping.
Other researchers are studying how dreaming helps our bodies work with problems and very sad emotions (感情). Robert Stickgold is a professor of psychiatry (心理学教授) at Harvard University in Massachusetts. Doctor Stickgold says that when we dream, the brain is trying to make sense of the world. He does not agree with Sigmund Freud that dreaming is the way we express our hidden feelings and desires (愿望).
Scientists believe it is important to keep researching dreams. Doctor Stickgold says it has been more than one hundred years since Sigmund Freud wrote his important book about dreaming. Yet there is still no agreement on exactly how the brain works when we are dreaming or why we dream.
1.When do people have dreams?
A. When they are asleep. B. When they are awake.
C. During the day. D. At night.
2.From the passage we know ________.
A. dreams are remembered by everyone
B. dreams express all that we think in our mind
C. dreams include all the senses and things we touch
D. how the brain works while dreaming and why we dream
3.The underlined word “solutions” probably means ________ in Chinese.
A. 分析的过程 B. 解决的方法
C. 面临的形势 D. 坚持的立场
4.In the passage , all the psychiatrists ________.
A. believe dreams can help people understand all the problems that they face
B. believe when we dream, the brain is trying to make sense of the world
C. study dreams and dreaming and have their own ideas
D. have the same idea that people often dream about things they want
5.Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Fact of Dreams
B. The Ways of Dreams
C. The Solutions to Dreams
D. The Mystery of Dreams and Dreaming

Dreams are expressions of thoughts, feelings and events that pass through our mind while we are sleeping. Everybody dreams. But only some people remember their dreams. Our dreams often include all the senses—smells, sounds, sights, tastes and things we touch. We dream in colour. Sometimes we dream the same dream over and over again. These repeated dreams are often unpleasant. They may even be nightmares—bad dreams that frighten us.
Early in the twentieth century, two famous scientists developed their personal ideas about dreams. Austrian psychiatrist Sigmund Freud published a book called “The Interpretation(诠释) of Dreams” in 1900. Freud believed people often dream about things they want but can’t have. These dreams often have something to do with sex and aggression(侵犯). Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung worked closely with Freud for several years, but he believed dreams could help people grow and understand themselves. He believed dreams provide solutions(解答) to problems we face when we are awake. He didn’t believe dreams hide our feelings about sex or aggression. Today we know more about the science of dreaming because researchers can take pictures of people’s brains while they are sleeping.
