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 track of（失去对….的意识） 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(细节)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 perceive（感知） 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.
小题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 |
小题2:Which is NOT the wrong impressions that we often have about time according to the website listing?| A．negative emotions | B．positive emotions | | C．adrenaline | D．scientists |
小题3:According to the passage, in which situation do we make mistakes about time?| A．We have many problems left in the test paper, but the time is up. | | B．We have a math test when we fall down from a high place. | | C．We may have trouble telling what time it is after a long nap. | | D．We go to school on the school bus as usual on weekdays. |
小题4: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. |
小题5: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 perceive 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. |

On the way back from work every evening, more often than not there would be a homeless man standing at the exit of the freeway (快车道). He looked to be in his late 40s but was probably a lot younger. He had shoulder length straight black hair and a short beard.
Every day after work I would remember to gather any spare change, and put it aside to give to him if I saw him. A feeling of joy would come over me every time I saw him, while coming off the ramp (坡道). So did he. Sometimes the red light would be on for a minute and we would ask each other about our day. His answer would always be the same, “I’m blessed!”
Then one day I was called into my boss’s office and was told that I was being laid off. For the rest of that day all I could think of was “how am I going to provide for my kids as a mother, how am I going to pay rent?”
Needless to say that on my way home that day I was very sad and upset. I didn’t remember to look for my spare change and keep it ready like I usually did. Yet there he was as always, as I turned the ramp. He set his eyes on me, while still smiling and waving at others as usual.
While I was waiting for the red light to turn, he strolled (闲逛) over to my car. He had a big smile. He looked at me straight in the eyes and said, “Today I will give you a dollar.” He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a dollar bill.
You see that day he taught me a valuable lesson more than a dollar bill. No matter what material things are taken from you, no one can take away your choice to be joyful. Every time I’m faced with challenges, I think of the homeless man’s valuable lesson and remember that I am blessed.
小题1: The writer would have a short conversation with the homeless man when .| A．she waited for the red light to turn | | B．she gave spare change to him | | C．she had a good time that day | | D．she wanted to know how he lived |
小题2: Why did the writer feel sad and upset after out of the boss’s office?| A．Because she was criticized by the boss. | | B．Because a new job was offered to her. | | C．Because she was laid off by the boss. | | D．Because there was something wrong with her job. |
小题3: What is NOT true about the homeless man from the passage?| A．He would be seen at the exit of the freeway. | | B．He usually smiled and waved at others. | | C．He had a deep impression on the writer. | | D．He felt joyful only when money was offered to him. |
小题4:The homeless man gave the writer a dollar because .| A．he had collected a lot of money | | B．he wanted to pay back her | | C．he knew what she experienced | | D．he wanted her to be happy |
小题5: The writer learned from the story that .| A．a dollar bill will be enough to make you happy | | B．each of us has been blessed all the time | | C．whenever it is, we should choose to help others | | D．it is more than money that brings us happiness |
