24、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(专心于) on what the teacher is saying.

【1】What does the underlined word “drags” probably mean?

A.passes slowly B.runs quickly.

C.moves actively D.goes silently

【2】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.

D.Students pay more attention to the pictures than the passing of time.

【3】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.

D.We should pay no attention to time when we are doing something.

【4】Which is the best title of the passage?

A.The best way to save time

B.The importance of planning time

C.Why time passes quickly

D.The reason for time flying and dragging

25、Uncle Tom and Aunt Chloe lived together in a pretty little cottage built of wood, quite close to Mr. Shelby’s big house. The little cottage was covered with climbing roses, and the garden was full of beautiful bright flowers and lovely fruit trees. Uncle Tom and Aunt Chloe lived happily for many years in their little cottage, or cabin, as it was called. All day Uncle Tom used to work in the fields, while Aunt Chloe was busy in the kitchen at Mr. Shelby’s house. When evening came they both went home to their cottage and their children, and were merry together.

Mr. Shelby was a good man, and kind to his slaves, but he was not very careful of his money. When he had spent all he had, he did not know what to do to get more. At last he borrowed money from a man called Haley, hoping to be able to pay it back again some day.

But that day never came. Haley grew impatient, and said, “If you don’t pay what you owe me, I will take your house and lands, and sell them to pay myself back all the money I have lent to you.”

So Mr. Shelby sold everything he could spare and gathered money together in every way he could think of, but still there was not enough. Then Haley said, “Give me that slave of yours called Tom—he is worth a lot of money.”

But Mr. Shelby knew that Haley was not a nice man. He knew he did not want Tom for a servant, but only wanted to sell him again, to make more money. So Mr. Shelby said, “No, I can’t do that. I never mean to sell any of my slaves, least of all Tom. He has been with me since he was a little boy.”

“Oh very well,” said Haley, “I shall sell your house and lands, as I said I should.”

Mr. Shelby could not bear to think of that, so he agreed to let Haley have Tom. He made him promise, however, not to sell Tom again except to a kind master.

“Very well,” said Haley, “but Tom isn’t enough. I must have another slave.” Just at this moment a little boy came dancing into the room.

26、Billy Dengler, a 14-year-old boy, is in the eighth grade. When he was born a month later, Billy’s mother, Terri, noticed that his eyes weren’t quite as big as a normal baby’s. She took Billy to the hospital, and the doctor said Billy would never be able to see.

27、 Many people say that they are working too many hours. They don't have enough time to relax or to stay with their family.

Work hours are different from one country to another. In France, people spend about 1,646 hours a year at work. In Japan, however, people work about 2,159 hours a year. That means a Japanese worker works 513 more hours a year than a French worker.

Why do people work so many hours? Some people work extra hours because they want to make more money. However, many companies don't pay overtime. Their workers don't get more pay for more work. Some people think it's their duty to work more hours. Some are afraid of losing their jobs if they don't work more hours.

Many people say that their vacations are too short. In France, people get five weeks of paid vacation a year. In Germany, they get four to six weeks, and in the United States, two weeks. One study shows fewer than half of workers used all their vacation days. In Great Britain, there is a saying, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull (迟钝的) boy." If that is true, there must be a lot of dull people in the world.
