Everyone, likes to feel that he or she is special. Unfortunately, many of us grow up believing that we’re not special at all. We wish that we could be better at sports or more attractive. We wish we had nicer clothes or more money. Like the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, or the Cowardly Lion from The Wizard of Oz (《绿野仙踪》), we believe we’re not good enough just as we are. In the movie, the Scarecrow wishes that he had a brain. The Tin Man wishes he had a heart, and the Lion wants courage. In the end, each of them realizes that he already has what he needs.

Most parents want us to be the best we can be. They sometimes try to encourage us to do better by comparing us to others. They mean well, but the message we often get is that we’re not good enough. We begin to believe that the only way we can be special is by being better than someone else, but we are often disappointed. There will always be someone out there who is better than we are at something. There are plenty of people around who may not be as smart as we are but who are better at sports. Or they may not be as good-looking, but they have more money. It is impossible for us to be better than everyone else all the time.

Like the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion, we all want what we believe will make us better people. What we don’t realize is that often we already have inside us the very things that we seek. Parents sometimes forget to tell us that we are special, that we are good enough just as we are. Maybe no one told them that when they were growing up, or maybe they just forgot. Either way, it’s up to us to remind them from time to time that each of us, in our own way, is special. What we are ... is enough.

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.

We are often told to pay attention to what our mothers tell us. Most of us enjoy listening to our mothers speak. Scientists have found that compared(和……相比较) to other people's voices, our brains greatly prefer the voices of our own mothers.

Scientists at Stanford University, US, recently studied this. They scanned children's brains while they were listening to different sounds, including their mothers' voices. They found that 97 percent of the time, children could recognize(认出) their mothers' voices at once.

Hearing their mothers' voices makes children's brains more active. We usually just use one part of our brain to deal with sounds when we hear something. But when we hear our mothers' voices, many parts of the brain, including those in charge of(负责) reward(奖赏) and emotion(情感), start to work as well.

Why do we respond(作出反应) so strongly to our mothers' voices? It starts even before we're born. When children are still in the womb(子宫) or have just been born, they hear their mothers talking. This makes babies feel comfortable and teaches them language and social skills, even though they are still very young. The babies learn to recognize their mothers' voices as rewarding(奖励性的) sound. Later, when this sound is heard again, more attention is paid to it.

Some sounds are necessary for our survival(生存) or bring us pleasure. These sounds are recognized by our brains as rewarding sounds. Most human voices are not recognized in this way, since we hear them so often. But mothers' voices are different. They bring us a lot of comfort.

1.What is the story mainly about?

A.Why we should listen carefully to our mothers. B.Why we prefer to hear our mothers’ voices.

C.How we recognize our mothers voices. D.How we respond to different kinds of sounds.

2.What will happen when children hear their mothers’ voices?

A.Many parts of their brains become active. B.They will need time to recognize the voices.

C.Their language skills start to improve. D.They will remember some bedtime stories.

3.According to Paragraph 4, why do children pay more attention to their mothers voices?

A.Because they can recognize their voices quickly.

B.Because their voices make them more comfortable.

C.Because they can get a reward for doing so.

D.Because they can get love from their mothers.

4.When can we respond to our mothers’ voices?

A.When we’re born. B.Before we’re born. C.When we grow up. D.When we’re young.

5.Where can we read the passage?

A.In a history book. B.In a fashion magazine. C.In a science magazine. D.In a morning newspaper.
